Judge Eric Davis ruled earlier that #Newsmax did indeed #defame Denver-based #DominionVotingSystems by airing false information [ #lies] about the company & its equipment. But Davis left it to a #jury to eventually decide whether that was done with #malice, &, if so, how much #Dominion deserved from Newsmax in #damages. Newsmax & Dominion reached the settlement before the trial could take place.
The settlement was disclosed by Newsmax on Monday in a new filing with the #SEC.

The settlement comes after #FoxNews paid $787.5M to settle a similar #defamation lawsuit in 2023 & #Newsmax paid what court papers describe as $40M to settle a #libel lawsuit from a different voting machine manufacturer, #Smartmatic, which also was a target of pro-Trump #ConspiracyTheories on the network.

The disclosure came as #Trump vowed in a social media post Monday to eliminate #MailinBallots & #VotingMachines such as those supplied by #Dominion & other companies. It was unclear how Trump could [legally] achieve that.

#Trump said on Monday that he would lead a movement to eliminate #MailinBallots & would sign an #ExecutiveOrder to “help bring HONESTY to the 2026 Midterm Elections.” Trump has long opposed mail-in voting & said it was a source of fraud during the 2020 election, though his AG at that time said that his assertions of widespread fraud couldn’t be proven.

#Trump argued in his post that #states were “merely an agent’ for the #FederalGovernment in counting & tabulating the votes.” [he is so unbelievably ignorant]

“They must do what the Federal Government, as represented by the President of the United States, tells them,” Trump said. [whatever happened to the #StatesRights party?]

Trump’s latest comments came after he said that President Vladimir #Putin of #Russia had discussed the issue during their summit on Friday in Alaska. #Trump said in an interview with FauxNews that the Russian leader had agreed with him that the 2020 election had been rigged in favor of Biden. “He said, ‘Your election was rigged because you have mail-in voting,’” Trump quoted Putin as saying.

[cuz Russia is a model for free & fair elections 🤦🏼‍♀️]

#Trump also wrote that he wanted to get rid of voting machines, which he described as inaccurate & expensive [wrong. Far more accurate than hand counting]. He claimed, incorrectly, that the US was “the only Country in the World that uses Mail-In Voting.”
His post did not elaborate on what the #ExecutiveOrder would say. It was also not immediately clear whether the Trump admin could stop the use of mail-in voting, which is largely entrusted to individual states.

#Trump has maintained his opposition even after #Republicans in the 2024 #election made significant gains in mail voting when the party encouraged its supporters to make use of the practice.

On Truth Social on Monday, Trump posted: “THE MAIL-IN BALLOT HOAX, USING VOTING MACHINES THAT ARE A COMPLETE AND TOTAL DISASTER, MUST END, NOW!!!”

[IOW if people #vote, he & his candidates lose]
