TFG Supporters Sue Dominion, Say Cease and Desist Letters 'Clearly Damaged' Them

Poll challengers from Michigan have filed a class-action lawsuit against Dominion Voting Systems, claiming that they were "damaged" by cease and desist letters that the company sent them after the 2020 presidential election.

Lawyers including Kurt Olsen, who previously aided in unsuccessful legal efforts to overturn former President Donald Trump's defeat to President Joe Biden, filed the lawsuit last week on behalf of eight Michigan residents that they claim were "clearly damaged" by the letters. Famed attorney Alan Dershowitz, who was part of Trump's legal team during his first impeachment trial, is also listed as counsel for the plaintiffs but reportedly describes himself as a consultant on "First Amendment issues" in the case.

The plaintiffs were all sent cease and desist letters by Dominion after alleging in affidavits that they witnessed unspecified "issues" on Election Day. The affidavits did not mention Dominion by name while expressing concerns about supposed "election integrity," according to the suit. Attorneys for the plaintiffs claim that Dominion's role in the election made the company "in effect, the government itself" and that the letters were used as a form of intimidation.

"Through its promiscuous delivery of aggressive threats of litigation and its deliberately broad advertisement of its own threatening activities, Dominion seeks to intimidate anyone who might speak out regarding election integrity and security concerns, whether such speech is related to Dominion or not," the complaint states. "Plaintiffs and the Class have been damaged by Dominion's Lawfare campaign."

I think it will probably run over a baggage cart as it leaves the gate and will stop suddenly with a horrible crunching sound as the nose gear collapses.

The idiot who brought this lawsuit was fired from a major lawsuit for being local counsel for a lawsuit brought by the mypillow idiot. A prior lawsuit was brought in DC and so that lawsuit was a meaningless act
