    A county with a population of 568, so you're talking like ~250 voters (and maybe not the same ones)

    https://apnews.com/article/smartmati...dd85f92f4fd7ef

    Voting tech company Smartmatic USA has filed a defamation lawsuit against Fox News, Guiliani, and Powell for $1.3 billion.

    The 285-page complaint filed Thursday in New York state court by Florida-based Smartmatic USA is one of the largest libel suits ever undertaken.

    Unlike Dominion, whose technology was used in 24 states, Smartmatic’s participation in the 2020 election was restricted to Los Angeles County, which votes heavily Democratic.

    Smartmatic’s limited role notwithstanding, Fox aired at least 13 reports falsely stating or implying the company had stolen the 2020 vote in cahoots with Venezuela’s socialist government, according to the complaint. This alleged “disinformation campaign” continued even after then-Attorney General William Barr said the Department of Justice could find no evidence of widespread voter fraud.

    For Smartmatic, the effects of the negative publicity were swift and devastating, the complaint alleges. Death threats, including against an executive’s 14-year-old son, poured in as Internet searches for the company surged, Smartmatic claims.

    With several client contracts in jeopardy, the company estimates that it will lose as much as $690 million in profits over the next five years. It also expects it will have to boost spending by $4.7 million to fend off what it called a “meteoric rise” in cyberattacks.

    Like many conspiracy theories, the alleged campaign against Smartmatic was built on a grain of truth. Mugica is Venezuelan and Smartmatic’s initial success is partly attributable to major contracts from Hugo Chávez’s government, an early devotee of electronic voting.

    I hope these defemation lawsuits bleed these people dry, serving as a modern real-life example for others that spouting hateful lies has consequences. Maybe we will have less disinformation. Maybe. Lol.

    The opening statement of the Smartmatic suit is great:

    The Earth is round. Two plus two equals four. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris won
    the 2020 election for President and Vice President of the United States. The election was not stolen,
    rigged, or fixed. These are facts. They are demonstrable and irrefutable

    A spy plane was used on November 5th in MN to track the movements of MAGA protesters at the governor's mansion and the general surrounding area.

    Also, "Spy Plane" is a bit of an overly serious way to refer to what I assume is a drone. Oh wow, read the other thread. Maybe it's just a helicopter with a gyroscope and Planet Earth-style optics?

    Hope the MAGA jimmies are rustled because they're normally the ones most willing to make this trade.

    Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson announces he is considering running for president in 2024 (or beyond).

    don't care how much I like him, or if he is a legit good person... I'm not voting for celebs, ever.

    He was a republican until Trump took office. Now he is a Independent.

    If he runs as a Republican, good luck to him and he won't be worse than their presumptive nominee.

    If he runs for president as an independent, he won't win and the country is fucked because more Democrats will break ranks and vote for him than Republicans.

    If he runs as a Democrat, hopefully we don't end up missing those superdelegates.

    They have the power to use their status to make changes if they wanted. I don't want to set a precedent on both sides that you need to be famous to run our country. We are another Celeb president away from having "The Next America President" TV show.

    So... If a person is a celebrity they're not capable of executing good ideas or leading?
