The Sunday Read: ‘He Was the “Perfect Villain” for Voting Conspiracists’: Over the past decade, Eric Coomer has helped make Dominion Voting Systems one of the largest providers of voting machines and software in the United States. He was accustomed to working long days during the postelection certification process, but November 2020 was different. President Trump was demanding recounts. His allies had spent months stoking fears of election fraud.
