Former GOP operative Scott Leiendecker just bought Dominion Voting Systems, giving him ownership of voting systems used in 27 states. The news last week that Dominion Voting Systems was purchased by the founder and CEO of Knowink, a Missouri-based maker of electronic poll books, has left election integrity activists confused over what, if anything, this could mean for voters and the integrity of US elections. The company, acquired by Scott Leiendecker, a former Republican Party operative and election director in Missouri before founding Knowink, said in a press release that he was rebranding Dominion, which has headquarters in Canada and the United States, under the name Liberty Vote "in a bold and historic move to transform and improve election integrity in America" and to distance the company from false allegations made previously by President Donald Trump and his supporters that the company had rigged the 2020 presidential election to give the win to President Joe Biden. The Liberty release said that the rebranded company will be 100 percent American owned, that it will have a "paper ballot focus" that leverages hand-marked paper ballots, will "prioritize facilitating third-party auditing," and is "committed to domestic staffing and software development." The press release provided no details, however, to explain what this means in practice.

Plus: Meta has taken down a group dedicated to tracking ICE officers' movements An emerging field of science is seeking to use cell analysis to predict what kind of a person an embryo might eventually become. Some parents turn to these tests to avoid passing on devastating genetic disorders that run in their families. A much smaller group, driven by dreams of Ivy League diplomas or attractive, well-behaved offspring, are willing to pay tens of thousands of dollars to optimize for intelligence, appearance, and personality. But customers of the companies emerging to provide it to the public may not be getting what they're paying for. This story is from our forthcoming print issue, which is all about the body.

WIRED spoke to seven Tesla Cybertruck owners about their most controversial purchase and why they're proud to drive it. Aside from a MAGA hat, there is likely no object that feels more emblematic of US President Donald Trump's return to the White House than the Tesla Cybertruck . The blunt angles and steel doors look futuristic, for sure, but only if the future looks a lot like . Cybertruck owners see things differently. "To me, it's just a vehicle that I love," says Andrew Castillo, a stock trader from Los Angeles. "It has no political affiliations at all to me." They've arrived for a meetup organized by Michael Goldman, who runs the 53,000-person Facebook group Cybertruck Owners Only. Though suspicious of the media, they're eager to set the record straight about the car that they love.
