Michigan House Oversight Committee Chair Matt Hall confirmed Thursday that officials from Dominion Voting Systems will appear before state lawmakers for questioning about irregularities in the November election in Michigan.

He had been pushing for the company to appear after his committee heard testimony from witnesses detailing misconduct at polls in the battleground state.

Dominion Voting Systems CEO John Poulos has indicated to officials his company will have spokespeople available to testify before the state Senate Oversight Committee, Mr. Hall said in a statement Thursday.

“I’m pleased Dominion Voting Systems will appear before the Legislature. This continues a thorough effort to provide the people of Michigan with a clear, complete picture regarding what happened in the November election,” Mr. Hall said.

The state lawmaker said reports of technology issues and election irregularities must be explored and it’s important to rebuild trust in the election process.

“Representatives of the people must be able to ask officials at Dominion questions in order to provide clarity and restore faith in our elections process,” he said.

Pro-Trump lawyers have accused Dominion Voting Systems of manipulating votes in favor of presumptive President-elect Joseph R. Biden and connecting to the internet, in violation of election laws. The lawsuits filed in several states, including Michigan, sue state officials — not the company.

Dominion has denied any wrongdoing in the election and called the accusations conspiracies.

The testimony is reportedly going to take place next week, but Senate Oversight Committee Chairman Ed McBroom has not posted the hearing on the committee’s calendar.

Dominion officials were supposed to testify before Pennsylvania lawmakers last month but canceled.
