Eric Coomer testified in Georgia in 2022 that Dominion voting machines are integrated so tightly that once they leave the factory, Dominion has no access to them.

What we found

Supports. Court filings describe Dr. Eric Coomer, Dominion's Director of Product Strategy and Security, testifying in the Georgia federal litigation, and a grand jury summary says he testified before the Fulton County special grand jury.[3][4][5]

Context. Coverage of Dominion's systems in Georgia describes the machines as standalone and not connected to the internet during voting, and CISA found no evidence of exploitation, but none of these sources addresses Coomer's specific statement about post-factory access.[6][7]

Context. The AP fact-check rates as false a separate claim that Coomer said on an antifa call he 'made sure' Trump would not win; that allegation is not the one at issue here.[1][2]

Context. The post's framing that Coomer's statement was 'a lie' that led to indictments is not established by any source, and the sources do not address the indictments' basis.[8]
