A Dominion exec forced into hiding due to death threats from Trump fans is beefing up his lawsuit

against Newsmax over election conspiracy theories

The Dominion executive who went into hiding in December quietly filed an updated defamation lawsuit against right-wing media figures who spread conspiracy theories about him, making new claims against the far-right media outlet Newsmax.

The lawsuit from Eric Coomer, the director of product strategy and security at Dominion Voting Systems, was first filed in December.

The amended lawsuit was filed in February but received scant attention. It adds more detail about the lengths the conservative operative Joe Oltmann went to push a baseless conspiracy theory about Coomer, as well as the degree to which Newsmax - owned by Trump's friend Christopher Ruddy - played a role in spreading it.

The lawsuit accuses Donald Trump's presidential campaign, conspiracy theorist attorneys Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell, and right-wing media outlets like Newsmax, One America News, and The Gateway Pundit of boosting false claims about him. The defendants in the lawsuit, Coomer says, all pushed a false conspiracy theory from Oltmann, also a defendant in the lawsuit, that Coomer participated in an "Antifa conference call" for how to rig the 2020 presidential election.

But I think the Democrats should investigate ES&S and Dominion to ensure these voting companies are above board. I feel like this Dominion attack by the right wing is their way to distract from the irregularities of ES&S voting machines. To make the right wing heads explode investigate both to ensure integrity in our elections!

something in the ES&S voting system that allows the R's to win the state and Federal elections? Should an audit be done?
