Dominion Voting Systems Goes For Rudy's Turkey Neck!

Giuliani faces a billion dollar lawsuit.

GOOGLE'S BLOGGER IS TRASH!

The company that provides voting machines and stressed the importance of election integrity has now signalled they coming for the necks of many of the nation's agitators who falsely claimed they aided in abetted in voter fraud.

Dominion Voting Systems launched its first series of lawsuits against agitators involved in defamatory statements about voter fraud. The company is suing former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani for $1 billion. The agitator made false claims on television, radio and social media about Dominion being a part of the Venezuelan government and instrumental in the stealing of the 2020 U.S. presidential election. 

The company was hit with death threats and then president Donald J. Trump tried to force former Attorney General William Barr and later former acting Attorney General Jeff Rosen to investigate Dominion. 

The company vehemently denied the allegations and told Giuliani, the Trump presidential campaign, L. Linn Wood, Sidney Powell, Sean "Screwball" Hannity, Lou Dobbs, Jesse Watters, Fox News, OANN, Newsmax and Rush Limbaugh to knock it off or face lawsuits. They ignored the warnings and now they face the wrath.

Dominion said in a 107-page complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia that "as a result of the defamatory falsehoods peddled by Giuliani" in conjunction with other Trump allies and pro-Trump media outlets, "Dominion’s founder and employees have been harassed and received death threats, and Dominion has suffered unprecedented and irreparable harm."

"Dominion brings this action to set the record straight, to vindicate the company’s rights under civil law, to recover compensatory and punitive damages, and to stand up for itself, its employees, and the electoral process," the lawsuit says.

The logo says it all. They value election integrity.

The company accuses Giuliani, who helped fuel Trump’s lie about a stolen election, of making false and defamatory statements about Dominion on his Twitter account, on his radio and podcast shows, in televised media appearances and at the rally that Trump held before his supporters stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6.

Dominion is seeking more than $1.3 billion in damages, according to the complaint, which was first reported by The New York Times. The company also said it is demanding a trial by jury on all claims.

Dominion said Giuliani and his allies created and spread what it calls the "big lie," in which it "deceived millions into believing that Dominion had stolen their votes and fixed the election."

The suit says Guiliani, in addition to demanding a reported $20,000 a day to represent Trump, "cashed in" on the conspiracy by hosting a podcast where he advertised supplements, gold coins, cigars and protection from "cyberthieves."

Dominion voting devices are safe and trustworthy.

The complaint outlines evidence of Giuliani’s false claims about how Dominion allegedly “fixed” the election, which resulted in Trump’s defeat and Joe Biden’s victory. It includes screenshots from Giuliani’s TV appearances on Fox News and Fox Business and his tweets that spread conspiracy theories about the election. Dominion also presented how Giuliani's lies affected his followers.

It showed, for example, screenshots of Giuliani speaking on his podcast from Christmas Day about Dominion, with one viewer commenting, "All these people involved with the fraud need to be executed for treason."

Dominion CEO John Poulos said in a statement, "Not only have these lies damaged the good name of my company, but they also undermined trust in American democratic institutions, drowning out the remarkable work of elections officials and workers, who ensured a transparent and secure election. The thousands of hand recounts and audits that proved machines counted accurately continue to be overshadowed by disinformation.

"Guiliani continues to make demonstrably false claims, and we intend to hold him, and others who spread disinformation, to account," Poulos said.

The lawsuit comes after Dominion sued lawyer Sidney Powell, who pushed Trump’s attempts to overturn election results, for defamation earlier this month. In that lawsuit, Dominion also said it was requesting damages of more than $1.3 billion, saying it has spent millions on security for its employees and on damage control to its reputation and risks losing future business.

Dominion is one of the country's largest election equipment vendors, and its products were used in 28 states in the 2020 election. The company was recently contracted to replace the bulk of voting machines in Georgia, where Biden won in an upset against Trump. Trump became particularly inflamed by that loss, spreading misinformation about voting in Georgia and begging the state's head election official to overturn the results.

While cybersecurity researchers have uncovered some flaws in election equipment in recent years, the world's top election security experts have signed an open letter that there was no evidence of computer fraud affecting the 2020 election.

"We are aware of alarming assertions being made that the 2020 election was 'rigged' by exploiting technical vulnerabilities," they wrote. "However, in every case of which we are aware, these claims either have been unsubstantiated or are technically incoherent."
