They certainly hired a good lawyer in Tom Clare. Maybe the best plaintiff-focused defamation lawyer in the country.
Sounds like a SLAPP suit...Strategic Lawsuit Against Political Participation.
Time to stop allowing insecure machines to handle votes. Paper ballots, marked with pens by voters, counted by hand.
The problem doesn't stop with insecure machines. The main problem is that we have people counting votes, either by hand or manipulating the ballots to affect the count.
If we want to see how we should be handling elections, look at what banks do with their various methods of transfer. The key is to ELIMINATE MANUAL HANDING to the greatest extent possible, while maintaining sufficient control over and audit ability with all transactions.
Remember that automatic tabulation was invented in 1890 for the Census -- the task of collecting and reporting the nose count was going to take longer than 10 years. With paper ballots, you are going to run into the same problem.
If you don't tell the fraudster the tally before the polls close, they can't fake up just enough ballots to tip the scales. So there is an issue with premature disclosure.
It's this last that is the reason I'm against a national nose count for President -- another opportunity for fraudsters to "tune" the turnout and fraud in the western states. Of course one way to combat that problem is use a "single time zone for voting purposes" so that all polls close at the same time.
The Times, of course..
The juicy parts will be disseminated everywhere slamming the MAGA movement with the goal to further demonize, harass, intimidate and deny free speech to people.
What would the Capitol Hill riot have to do with a defamation lawsuit otherwise?
Looks like a PR stunt, but will be interesting to watch.
