Company
Dominion was founded in 2002 in Toronto, Canada, by John Poulos and James Hoover. [1]
In August 2010, Dominion reported that it has contracts to provide electronic voting systems to 600 jurisdictions in some 22 states of the United States, and has deployed 80,000 Dominion ImageCast Precinct Optical Scan Tabulators around the world.[2]
