COLORADO, USA Denver-based Dominion Voting Systems Inc. filed a lawsuit in federal court Friday morning against a lawyer for President Donald Trump, accusing her of promoting a false preconceived narrative about the 2020 election and causing unprecedented harm.
The 124-page lawsuit specifically mentions a press conference in Georgia by Sidney Powell in which she falsely claimed that Dominion had rigged the election, that Dominion was created in Venezuela to rig elections for Hugo Chávez, and that Dominion bribed Georgia officials for a no-bid contract.
Eric Coomer, Director of Product Security and Strategy for Denver-based Dominion Voting Systems, says he went into hiding because of threats he received.
And the threats directed at Coomer keep on coming, despite the fact that he did not write the code for Dominion machines ironically, a large portion of his work has centered on an effort to ensure that Dominion machines in Colorado can be audited by the state s risk-limiting audit process, widely praised for its effectiveness in ensuring fair elections. Coomer has also worked to improve access for third-party researchers to evaluate and analyze voting systems.
Coomer didn t wait on Dominion. On December 22, he filed a defamation lawsuit against a long list of defendants, including Oltmann, Powell, the Trump campaign and several right-wing media outlets. He did so from hiding, where we caught up with him to discuss what life has been like since November 3.
