Dominion Voting Systems is fighting back against the fraudulent claims made against it by filing lawsuits aimed at the biggest propagators of those conspiracy theories.

At the center of the unfounded conspiracy theory that the 2020 election was stolen from former President Donald Trump is Dominion Voting Systems. The American corporation, whose headquarters are in Canada, develops and sells voting hardware and software, including electronic voting machines. That’s how the corporation landed in the crosshairs of conservatives loyal to Trump.

As president, Trump used his singular platform to sow doubts about the election, but he was not alone in spreading conspiracy theories. His team of lawyers, including Rudy Giuliani, regularly used public appearances to spread wild claims about voting machines being hacked and votes being deleted, even as their lawsuits were being dismissed by dozens of courts.

Conspiracy theories about Dominion Voting machines were also shared by Trump-supporting news channels like One American News Network (OAN) and Newsmax, whose chief executive officer, Chris Ruddy, has spent much of his career making unproven accusations against Democrats.
