Dominion Voting Systems sues pro-Trump lawyer, seeking more than $1.3B

I&#x27;m really struggling to have empathy with people who blame Dominion for changing votes in the 2020 General Election.<p>There was a hand recount in Georgia, was there not? And the numbers agreed with what had been counted by Dominion?<p>If you accept that the hand recount matched (within a reasonable margin of error) the count from the Dominion machines, what exactly is the rest of their objection or concern?<p>Honestly, can someone explain this to me?

On one side, a grifter taking cynical advantage of baseless, war-media-stoked fears of Venezuela in addition to numerous other baseless and racist conspiracy theories. On the other side, a secretive foreign firm that makes millions foisting unaudited closed-source voting machines on clueless municipalities.<p>Frankly, I hope they both lose.

&gt; Poulos said he would like the case to go to trial rather than settle.<p>Damn straight.<p>As an aside, I wish settlements were public record.

Lawsuit is fully justified. Their reputation was (needlessly) destroyed. I don&#x27;t think you could ever get a Dominion machine approved in the current political climate for the foreseeable future. They&#x27;ll likely need a rebrand to survive.

On one hand Trump and his team deserve to lose this case.<p>On the other hand, I hope it doesn’t silence future complaints.<p>Protecting against defamation is important but it is more important that those who think they have genuine complaints about an election process aren’t scared into silence.
