Earlier this month we found out that voting machines can do tricky things.
The results of a Democratic primary in a Georgia county were challenged after a hand count found the machines to be off by thousands.
Marshall Orson, a Democratic candidate for DeKalb County Commission, requested that the local elections board not certify the results as scheduled because there were “numerous issues” in the race (Kind of sounds like what Trump asked for after the 2020 election).
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that Orson asked for a formal recount of the election and an “independent review.”.
“There is no rational basis for believing that there are not continuing issues with the results and the results should not be certified with the continuing existence of multiple substantive issues and concerns,” Orson asserted. “Doing so would pose a substantial risk not only to the confidence the public will have in the overall election results from this race but could extend to the entire primary as well as the general election.”
According to the initial Democratic primary results, Orson had won the district 2 commission seat with Lauren Alexander taking second and Michelle Long Spears taking third. That would have put Orson in a runoff with Alexander.
In the aftermath of the election, Spears realized she didn’t receive any votes at most precincts.
Late in April, the secretary of state’s office acknowledged making several programming errors during the ballot counting process.
There were attempts to re-scan ballots in the district, but ultimately there was a hand count, culminating around midnight on Memorial Day.
Results from the hand count were revealed, with former last-place candidate Spears now in the lead and headed to a runoff against Alexander on June 21. Orson, who was once in first place, fell out of the running to third place.
Approximately 2,600 votes were added to Spears’ vote total, while Alexander gained a few hundred points, according to the Journal-Constitution. Meanwhile, Orson lost approximately 1,600 votes from the initial count.
Shocking. Voting machines screwed up and the results of a race had to be corrected by humans.
Fox News reported on the same kind of thing, rumors of voting machine issues, in the aftermath of the 2020 election.
And the maker of the voting machines sued over it.
A judge just ruled that the lawsuit against Fox can proceed.
Bloomberg reports:
Fox News’s parent company can be sued by a voting-machine maker because Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch may have acted with “actual malice” in directing the network to broadcast conspiracy theories alleging the 2020 presidential election was rigged against Donald Trump.
Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric M. Davis on Tuesday denied Fox Corp.’s motion to dismiss the suit, saying Dominion Voting Systems had shown that the Murdochs may have been on notice that the conspiracy theory that rigged voting machines tilted the vote was false but let Fox News broadcast it anyway. Dominion cited in its suit a report that Rupert Murdoch spoke with Trump a few days after the election “and informed him that he had lost,” the judge noted.
“These allegations support a reasonable inference that Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch either knew Dominion had not manipulated the election or at least recklessly disregarded the truth when they allegedly caused Fox News to propagate its claims about Dominion,” said Davis, who previously allowed Dominion’s claim against the conservative news network to proceed.

Darn....I thought this would be about FNC calling the election, EARLY, for Brandon, in AZ.
That’s the ‘against’ ruling, I want to see. :-(
Really...voting machines screwed up? Machines do what they are told...by humans.
Lord please don’t let them settle. Lord, please make them open all books. Lord, please force massive discovery proceedings. Amen.
According to AG Garland, you don’t have to listen to the court, if you don’t like what it said.
This will be challenged.
For Rumble fans.... or whatever it’s called...
How can I view that page without being assaulted by pop ups?
I guess I need a recommendation for a good pop-up blocker cuz if I have one it ain’t working, I don’t have a whole lot of memory left to work with and I’m about it 9 to 10 months away from a new phone so I got to have a stopgap.
Being sued and being sued successfully are NOT the same thing.
Lord please don’t let them settle. Lord, please make them open all books. Lord, please force massive discovery proceedings. Amen
Pass it onto all lips to speak.
Davis is registered as a Democrat.
Ge, I wonder how a Democrat stooge-judge is going to rule on Democrat vote fraud?
Unless FNC takes a dive, which they might with Ryan there, thee is no way you are going to prove malice.
DISCOVERY COULD BE FABULOUS FOR FOX!
The MTD was not granted. It doesn’t mean Fox or anyone related lost the case. It means the court will allow the case to proceed.
The Plaintiff’s will now need to prove their case. They will likely fail, unless the Judge is biased, in which case the Defendants can appeal.
The headline is typical journalism hyperbole.
But Trump was obviously reacting to Biden’s comment about creating the largest vote fraud organization ....
Here is another clear case that proves the machines give rigged results and it is reported nowhere. These machines will be used in 4 months in every swing state.

Damn simple. Clean your cache first before all of this..Ever wonder why I watch youtube videos or any malware site without pop-ups?
DO THIS:
download / used DUCKDUCKGO as an extension to FFox or esp. Google Chrome
download then ADD : AD BLOCK PLUS to your browser.
You’re welcome.
** OR watch the video under VIDEOS for Chrome WITH Duckduckgo, only IF that video is already collected and searched by DDG.
It's a "ruling elite" vs "everyone else" thing. The rulers believe they have a divine right to rule but are stunningly incompetent and corrupt. Their own delusions lead them to believe anyone who is not one of them is "literally Hitler", both grammatically wrong and physically impossible. Thus their four year bout of unhinged insanity while Trump was president. Nothing happened, but every day they expected world war and concentration camps because in their diseased minds, that is the only alternative to their rule.
Truth is the absolute defense against defamation, at least in the US. Fox has the right to demand full disclousure from Dominion on the findings of Dr. Halderman showing that Dominion knew their voting machines did not meet election law requirements for security. They also should also demand a complete independent forensic report on the adjudication rates for every Dominion machine that was used in 2020. Evidence that Fox had at the time showed the rates exceeded legal limits in several states and therefore the election results could have been subject to manipulation.
I suspect the real settlement will be done out of court because it would save Fox more money in the long run. This is just how lawfare or “slap” suits work.
This may actually help Fox in their case, and hurt Dominion.
Even so, this lawsuit should have been summarily dismissed.
The proceedings demonstrate that "free speech" which criticizes the interests of the Democrat party, or its' backers, is only permitted if one has a team of corporate lawyers on retainer to handle the resulting lawfare.
"The process is the punishment".
