Lawsuits Pending Over 2020 Election Lies

An article in Vanity Fair by Brian Stelter, entitled "Dominion's Fox News Case Was Just the Beginning," referring to the successful Dominion lawsuit against Fox News,which resulted in the media giant paying $787.5 million in April to settle that case. Dominion has “lawsuits pending against Newsmax, One America News, Mike Lindell and MyPillow, Sidney Powell and her law firm, Rudy Giuliani, and Patrick Byrne. 

The suits are moving more slowly than the Fox case “because most of them are in DC, and the DC courts are very busy, still to this day, with a lot of the January 6 cases,”

 Another election technology company, Smartmatic, is also suing Fox, Newsmax, and other defendants. “Smartmatic is a global company that was injured on a global scale,” attorney J. Erik Connolly told Stelter for the book. “The damages are much bigger.”

(I'm trying out an app called Textmaker which allows you to hightlight text in an article you're reading. Unfortunately, it has a few quirks that I may or may not be able to fix. One is that you can't selectively de-highlight marks you've made; if you've made a number of highlights in an article, you do have the option of deleting them all, but not individually. The second is that if you cut and paste, the highlighting remains, as above. I'll be trying to get around this in the future.)
