Dominion Statement on Michigan Split Ticket Voting Claims
Dominion requested corrective action from the Michigan Secretary of State’s office regarding an inaccurate claim that there is a “nationwide issue” with Dominion voting assistance terminals that are offering split party voting. On Oct. 30, the Michigan Department of State and Bureau of Elections updated its information on the State of Michigan Election Fact Center to affirm the position that the issue is specific to Michigan.
- The underlying issue that prompted a public reminder on October 25, 2024 is for Michigan voters seeking to successfully complete and verify their ballot selections using Dominion Voting Assistance Terminals (VATs) for this election cycle and is available here: https://www.dominionvoting.com/michigan-split-voting-instructions/. The reminder reiterated information contained in a September 2024 customer advisory notice to Michigan election officials. The Michigan Department of State has confirmed there is no issue preventing any voters from making their preferred selections and casting their paper ballot.
- Dominion has no machines in any other states that offer straight party voting options like the State of Michigan does, as referenced in this resource list issued by the National Conference of State Legislatures.
