Westword: With Donald Trump’s second presidency dominating the news cycle, it’s hard to remember when he was on the outside looking in, denying the results of the 2020 presidential election and claiming it was rigged with the help of Democrat-friendly voting technology companies.

But the ramifications of that lengthy tantrum continue. On April 9, Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric Davis determined that pro-Trump channel Newsmax had defamed Denver-based Dominion Voting Systems by falsely accusing the company of rigging the 2020 presidential election. It was one of several key rulings in Dominion’s $1.6 billion suit against Newsmax, made in advance of an April 28 jury trial.

Despite all the accusations against Dominion, which provides voting technology for most Colorado counties as well as dozens of states, no proof has been found of malfeasance. “Thousands of audits and recounts since November 2020 have confirmed the accuracy and integrity of election results and verified the reliability of Dominion’s certified voting systems,” the company says on its website, where it has defended Dominion’s reputation vigorously over the last four-plus years.
