The post cites no source nor evidence for the claim, "Myanmar used Dominion Voting Systems."
A coup d'état took place in Myanmar when the democratically elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi was detained by the military on February 1, 2021. The military claimed election fraud despite the results showing she won by a landslide, The New York Times reported.
Unsubstantiated rumors began circulating on social media that Dominion Voting Systems were used in the contested November 8, 2020, Myanmar election.
Rumour has it that Dominion machines were used in Myanmar. Is there any wonder there was a coup?

"This is another false claim about Dominion Voting Systems," the Dominion spokesperson told Lead Stories via email on February 2, 2021.
