Dominion Voting Systems launched a sharp declaration Saturday complying with statements from billionaire Elon Musk andRep Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga), that have actually stated unmasked conspiracy theory concepts that the 2020 political election was swiped from Republican candidate Donald Trump.
The digital ballot equipment firm reached a record-breaking settlement in 2015 after suing Fox News for spreading out disproven cases that its equipments had actually promoted tally fraudulence in 2020. Dominion claimed Saturday that it is “closely monitoring claims around the 2024 election” that resemble those claims.
“We strongly encourage people to rely upon verified, credible sources of election information – sources that can explain the many layers of physical, operational, and technical safeguards that exist to protect the integrity of our elections,” Dominion wrote in its statement
“We remain fully prepared to defend our company and our customers against lies, and to seek accountability from those who spread them,” the firm included.
Musk has thrown his full weight behind Trump. He advertised the incorrect assertion that Dominion controlled the political election in 2020 at his first solo event to support Trump’s campaign on Thursday, insinuating without evidence that “some very strange things” occurred to individuals’s ballots.
“When you have mail-in ballots and no proof of citizenship, it becomes almost impossible to prove cheating, is the issue,” Musk said at a Pennsylvania town hall.
“There’s always this question of, say, the Dominion voting machines,” Musk proceeded. “It is weird that, I think, they were used in Philadelphia and in Maricopa County [in Arizona] but not in a lot of other places. Doesn’t that seem like a heck of a coincidence?”
Dominion– which likewise sued former Trump attorneys Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell, together with other TV networks like Newsmax, for making injurious cases regarding its equipments– responded highly to Musk’s remarks in a different declaration Friday to numerous media electrical outlets.
“Fact: Dominion does not serve Philadelphia County,” the statement said “Fact: Dominion’s voting systems are already based on voter verified ballots. Fact: Hand counts and audits of such paper ballots have repeatedly proven that Dominion machines produce accurate results.
“These are not matters of opinion. They are verifiable facts.”
Separately, Greene– recognized for conspiratorial unsupported claims, like her current assertion that a shady “they” can “control the weather”— showed up on Alex Jones’ InfoWars network on Friday, where she claimed that a Dominion equipment “changed” the tally of a citizen in her area. (Early ballot started in Georgia in the 2024 governmental political election previously today.)
An upgrade on Dominion’s website Saturday made clear that authorities from the region concerned, Georgia’s Whitfield County, identified “voter error” was at fault in this certain circumstances and fixed the concern with the citizen. The firm reasserted that cases that its equipments can transform ballots have “been repeatedly debunked.”
Election authorities, courts and Trump’s very own management have actually stopped working to create proof of prevalent fraudulence in the 2020 political election. But advertising incorrect cases that Democrats ripped off and will certainly rip off once more is nonetheless a feature of Trump’s campaign.
More than a loads individuals associated with the “fake electors” plan to reverse the 2020 political election are reportedly readied to stand for the Republican Party this year as Electoral College electors in battlefield states, consisting of Michigan, Nevada, Georgia and Pennsylvania.
