Dominion is only one of many fronts and a lot of people will struggle to comprehend how messed up the election is.
The immediate concern about Dominion is that it's not contained, held to any standards or regulated. People have also found errors in its results.
Personally if I were going to cheat in this election I would avoid using Dominion but with one exception. Where there's not a dual track system that allows you to compare the results. Any situation where you're purely dependent on Dominion without being able to check it manually against the hard copies simply cannot be verified.
Cheating with dominion is difficult because recounts can catch it. just using different machines may make it difficult to reproduce the same result albeit it not impossible. The point of voting machines is that they're very fast and cheap compared to humans.
I'd be tempted to maintain a by hand human system at all times but for the machines actually count twice from two entirely different suppliers since it should be that cheap and easy to do.
The dominion scandal is part of a larger problem where the election process is too fragile and has shattered under people arbitrarily changing the rules using COVID-19 as an excuse without taking into account the importance of election integrity.
Some of those rule changes on their own are problematic because they can optimise for one candidate or another so whoever is choosing said rules is swaying the election results rather than the voters. Election rules and systems that are not consistent or constant do cause really big problems.
I suspect actual errors and potentially actual fraud from Dominion but it's not the only vulnerability in the election system. There are many vulnerabilities and you're primary target is not going to be the counting system but the ability to inject ballots that are invalid but easier to inject then to reject including retrospectively.
If they did abuse dominion enough to steal it then that's good as it's probably more detectable so long as proper processes are in place but more likely it's a small piece of the puzzle. Either way that system needs to be verified. They need to compare it to things like hand recounts. If not exhaustive then they need to do hand checks of at least 10000 ballots selected entirely at random.
