Smartmatic Reaches Confidential Settlement With Far-Right OAN Over Election Claims
Apr 16, 2024, 07:10 PM
Florida-based Smartmatic, a voting technology company, has reached a confidential settlement in its defamation lawsuit against One America News Network (OAN), a far-right broadcaster. The lawsuit, filed in November 2021, accused OAN of falsely claiming that Smartmatic rigged the 2020 US presidential election to favor Joe Biden. The terms of the settlement were not disclosed, but the lawsuit was voluntarily dismissed following the agreement. This settlement is part of a broader legal response by voting equipment companies against false claims and conspiracy theories surrounding the 2020 election results.
