If the company that has provided the election software to Venezuela for 15 years is innocent, then they should sue for defamation.

If not, they and their bosses should be to jail and as well as the many politicians that attempted to cover it up.

I simply want people and politicians to follow the law.

There was a video of him talking. That's not defamation.

And anyone want to guess why Dominion did not file this suit? Hint: it's "good lawyerin'"

Does he have standing? Unless he can prove he suffered harm from allegations about the system, it would seem he/she/it needs to prove standing.

Isnt this the employee that they specifically singled out and claimed was on some Antifa Zoom call claiming he was going to fix the election so Trump couldn't win?

What would be great is if the dominion employee was actually doing this as a favor to open up discovery.

But I assume this will just disappear.

Answered my own question, it is him. Here the complaint for anyone interested:

https://wp-cpr.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2020/12/Complaint-20201222-Eric-Coomer-Suit.pdf

Goes in to pretty good detail on how his name was repeatedly used publicly by the defendants. Also goes into his alleged damages. Not sure I'm understanding the lack of standing argument, but there seems to be a real problem understanding the concept of standing on this forum lately.

So while I don't think this gets tossed for lack of standing, i also don't think much will come of this suit, maybe something will stick to that dude that originally tied Coomer to the Antifa Zoom call (assuming defendant can't establish that to be true), but I think Giuliani and the down stream consumers and purveyors will be able to avoid liability.

The clownish "lol no standing" posts on this thread are self-owns that didn't even click the article or understand the case being made. The defendants named Coomer specifically in their lies about election fraud.

I'm not surprised you support this idiotic lawsuit. The lawsuit is doa.

"Defendants knowingly circulated and amplified a baseless conspiracy theory to challenge the integrity of the presidential election," the lawsuit says. "While this theory has been thoroughly rejected, its immediate and life-threatening effects remain very real. The deluge of misinformation has caused immense injury to Dr. Coomer's reputation, professional standing, safety, and privacy. Once an esteemed private election technology expert, Dr. Coomer has been vilified and subjected to an onslaught of offensive messages and harassment."

Tell us why standing would be a problem here? It's not an issue in the slightest. Defamation suits against lawyers and public figures may be tough but nothing to do with standing.

They're going to regret doing that because this is going to blow up in their pathetic, cheating faces.

I agree, standing is not an issue.

Powell and Wood are insane. They've entirely invented this conspiracy about Dominion and Smartmatic. They are international laughingstocks.

Exactly. They need to nonsuit everyone and refile in Federal court pronto if they expect the case to have a chance.

You gotta wonder, if Powell and Wood were never involved or dominion brought up, would people have cared more about all the other BS evidence.

Yes. And he might have a cognizable claim there.

Problem for Coomer is all of the videos of him conducting demonstrations that are out there. Also, the federal suit in Georgia, the Curling v. Raffensperger, et, al. case, he's a terrible witness and gets ripped to shreds on cross. Judge Totenberg found him to be not credible.

Further, there will be some interesting discovery issues if he goes through with it. Will have to be a carefully crafted complaint not to open the doors to Dominion itself and I'm not sure that's even possible.

Nobody is afraid of discovery, Powell could have named Dominion in any of her suits but avoided it for some reason.

Dominion already filed similar suits against Fox News and Newsmax. Or didn't you see their on-air retractions of all the crap they've been spewing?

A) This is in state court not federal as there is no federal question nor diversity since he's also sued Colorado residents.

B) In personam jurisdiction is an issue with some of the defendants from my brief review. I expect some Special Appearances contesting jurisdiction.

Yep, also the guy that evidently testified that he wrote code for dominion but then wrote in an Op-Ed that he did not. Depositions should be interesting if it gets that far.

Fully agree. Get a hold of those transcripts from all of those hearings before Totenberg and any other sworn testimony he has given in the past. I'm sure they will be filled with potential landmines over which Coomer will trip.

Throw in the statements of CEO Poulos about company policy not to assist local election workers when they are whether by design or accident, miscounting the ballots as a part of their "service" and go from there.

"LOLOL"? F16 is starting to read more and more like texts from a twelve year old girl. I guess this constitutes cerebral dialogue now. YGTI
