In November 2021 Smartmatic, an election technology and ballot counting company, sued Newsmax and OAN. This followed their previous lawsuit against FOX News.
The former President of Smartmatic, Lord Mark Malloch, currently leads the George Soros Open Society Foundation.
In August 2017 Smartmatic Director Antonio Mugica admitted during that the Smartmatic machines and software were tampered with and created at least one million phantom votes in the national elections in Venezuela.
Another voting machine firm, Dominion Voting Systems Corp, has brought similar lawsuits against conservatives.
The Gateway Pundit was sued by far-left Dominion executive Eric Coomer, a committed Trump-hater, for our reporting on his presentations to possible clients and links to Antifa.
On Monday Newsmax TV countersued Smartmatic Corp denying they defamed the election voting systems company.
Via far left Reuters:
Right-wing U.S. television network Newsmax Media Inc on Monday countersued Smartmatic Corp, an election security firm that says it was defamed by Newsmax’s coverage of the 2020 presidential election.
Smartmatic sued Newsmax in November for amplifying false claims that Smartmatic voting machines rigged the election against then-President Donald Trump, who persists in falsely claiming his defeat was the result of fraud.
In a response filed in Delaware state court, San Diego-based Newsmax denied it defamed Smartmatic and claimed that the election software firm was trying to censor free speech and intimidate a critic.
“The action brought by Smartmatic against Newsmax arises from and is because of Newsmax’s exercise of its right to free speech in connection with issues of public interest,” Newsmax’s lawyers said in the filing.
A Smartmatic spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

No need to tell us anything else.

Bkmk litigation
R u obsessed with the one on the left or the right ?
Breaking news - in 2016.
In my best sarcastic politician voice:
“Stunned! I’m just stunned about hearing such news!”
Look! A troll! Isn’t it cute?
We used to volunteer to work elections From 1996-2016. Our main goal was helping the head lady fight voter fraud, and try to get ID requirement. It is “interesting” how the left fights against Voter ID.
Pass this law and it will End overnight
No US Citizen shall be required to produce any means of identification greater than that which is necessary to Register to Vote or Cast a Vote in a Public Election.
All US Citizens that have been asked to produce any Identification greater that what is necessary to Register to Vote or Vote in a Public Election, Shall be Entitled to Damages equal to but not less than $10,000 from the Accused. Any Entitled Damages not paid forthwith shall render said Government Employee Terminated Immediately and complete loss of all pension and retirement benefits.
It should be exactly as hard to vote as to get a gun.
Maybe even get some of the NYT reporting into the trial...
"In 2004, at age 34, [Coomer] wrote on a climbing message board about his struggles with heroin and cocaine [PDF], and how much they had damaged his life. By then, he was on the verge of bankruptcy, had lost his marriage and had ended up in prison after being charged with several counts of driving under the influence. “Another bout of dry heaves racked my body as I lay on the cold cement floor of the jail cell,” he wrote. “Jail is no picnic under the best of circumstances — being in jail while withdrawing from heroin is absolutely the worst I can imagine.”
SCHADENFREUDE!
Why would Newsmax suit against Smartmatic get to depose Coomer or Carone who are associated with a completely different company, Dominion?
Typical GP Hoft article to conflate all kinds of unrelated suit together in a faggoty BREAKING hidgepodge of clickbait stupidity.
It’s nice when the media tell you what to believe right in the article!
What exactly are the ‘lies’ Trump told?
Thankfully post 4 got blitzed and removed.
Does anyone have the case citation?
It would be interesting to read.
