So I was thinking of other anagrams that might be things and "the elections are safe" came to mind cuz someone posted it.
While that's not what Q said (they said midterms), TEAS dooooes lead to the patent office.

Made me wonder as to who holds the patents for Dominion.
Found:
"Election Systems & Software LLC, the largest voting machine company in the U.S., on Monday brought a patent infringement case against rival Dominion Voting Systems Inc.
ES&S sued Dominion in U.S. District Court in Delaware, alleging Dominion’s ImageCast Evolution voting machine infringes on a patent issued to ES&S in 2015."
But the rest is behind a paywall.

Note added on March 5, 2019: This machine has a“permission to cheat”mode just like the ES&S ExpressVote. On January 23, 2019, addressing the Westchester County (NY) Budget and Appropriations Committee, Dominion regional sales manager Gio Constantiello explained (at minute 0:41:40) that the voter using the BMD has the option of having the ballot ejected for inspection before reinserting it for scanning, or can choose to have the BMD-marked ballot directly scanned and dropped into the ballot box without any human inspection.
