American Thinker Apologizes for False Stories about Dominion Voting Machines
American Thinker ^ | 1/15/2021 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 01/15/2021 9:52:50 AM PST by Kevin C

We received a lengthy letter from Dominion's defamation lawyers explaining why they believe that their client has been the victim of defamatory statements. Having considered the full import of the letter, we have agreed to their request that we publish the following statement: American Thinker and contributors Andrea Widburg, R.D. Wedge, Brian Tomlinson, and Peggy Ryan have published pieces on www.AmericanThinker.com that falsely accuse US Dominion Inc., Dominion Voting Systems, Inc., and Dominion Voting Systems Corporation (collectively “Dominion”) of conspiring to steal the November 2020 election from Donald Trump. These pieces rely on discredited sources who have peddled debunked theories about Dominion’s supposed ties to Venezuela, fraud on Dominion’s machines that resulted in massive vote switching or weighted votes, and other claims falsely stating that there is credible evidence that Dominion acted fraudulently. These statements are completely false and have no basis in fact. Industry experts and public officials alike have confirmed that Dominion conducted itself appropriately and that there is simply no evidence to support these claims. It was wrong for us to publish these false statements. We apologize to Dominion for all of the harm this caused them and their employees. We also apologize to our readers for abandoning 9 journalistic principles and misrepresenting Dominion’s track record and its limited role in tabulating votes for the November 2020 election. We regret this grave error.

It’s not wimping out when you realize that you were fed a load of BS, and the people who kept telling you the Kracken was coming left you high and dry and without a leg to stand on.

It’s not their fight — they were reporting what they were told, and nothing they were told turned out to be true, and apologizing for misleading their readers is the least they should do. Maybe be more careful next time to vet their sources. We correctly call out liberal media for failing to do this all the time.

So, the Dominion Machines were merely tabulating Vote Totals?

Why do the number of Votes being cast require millions of lines of Code to simply add up the numbers for each Candidate?

Why are “variances” built in to a glorified Adding Machine?

Where is Trey Gowdy when we need him to tell Dominion to “act innocent if they are.”

Unfortunately, they did more than report on the allegations, which is why they got swept up in this.

Other news organizations are not being sued, because they DID stick to reporting facts, meaning reporting factually on what other people were saying about the election.

Agree with all of your post. We live in dark times. Communists are rampaging and there is no political party opposing them.

David would not have beaten Goliath if his faith wasn’t strong. Remember, David had killed a lion and a bear while defending his flocks and credited God for that. The stone that killed Goliath left David’s sling with the force of a bullet and went right into Goliath’s forehead.

If you repeat a lie often enough... manage to prevent any forensic investigations of your machines, and you have very good lawyers, you can bluff your way through anything!

I hope AT has an ironclad agreement that Dominion won’t sue them now that they have admitted (even if falsely admitted) guilt.

The cancelling and cowing on a massive scale, continues.

And who does it need to be connected to the internet of all places? There are other ways to feed results directly to tabulate the totals.

....except for the one set of machines that someone was allowed to audit....oddly enough that set of machines had an algorithm set for high % of adjudication....

Why did folks fight so hard to deny experts the ability to make sure they were compromised?

Didn’t some woman (an election supervisor?) from Georgia during a Senate hearing switch votes from one candidate to the other?

Freedom isn't free. If the truth is on your side, you fight, no matter the cost.

My parents fought lawsuits from a local transit authority based on principle all the way to the state supreme court. A democrat majority ruled against them disregarding the facts and legal principals being argued. The battle cost them nearly everything they saved during their lifetimes of frugal living. You talk big, but I doubt seriously that you have a clue what you are talking about.

LOL! So what Dominion throws up as a veil over its criminal acts/behavior is... there is no court sanctioned evidence, a judgement made following a review of the reams of indisputable evidence and testimony in a court of law. It does not mean there is no sworn/real ‘submissible’ evidence of which was done, but DENIED a full review/hearing by EVERY court the suit and evidence was filed!

American Thinker is nothing more than a weak poker player being intimidated and folding his hand.

That is patently false...sorry. The machines do not have the capability to do that.

Love the introduction. A non-apology apology made under duress. “Dominion’s lawyers threatened us, so we are publishing this letter to get them off our backs.”

AT is great.
