A federal judge has sanctioned lawyers who filed suit against Dominion Voting Systems, Facebook and others, claiming conspiracy in the 2020 presidential election
Dominion Voting Systems, Facebook and others, claiming conspiracy in the 2020 presidential election.
Neureiter said that although the lawsuit did not aim to challenge or reverse the election results, “the effect of the allegations and relief sought would be to sow doubt over the legitimacy of the Biden presidency and the mechanisms of American democracy in numerous states.” The magistrate judge said that the filing was in bad faith, and that “no reasonable attorney” would have believed the plaintiffs had standing to bring the suit.
Following Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 election, numerous lawsuits were filed to challenge the results and allege widespread voter fraud. The Tuesday opinion referred to other, similar election fraud suits that failed, saying the plaintiffs in this suit should have been on notice that “the lawsuits from which they were copying had failed.”
Neureiter took issue with the lawyers including former President Donald Trump’s groundless assertions that the election was stolen, without attempting to verify the statements. In the opinion, Neureiter said that including in the filing a debunked tweet from Trump was reckless in the political landscape of the Jan. 6 insurrection and unchecked claims of election fraud.
