Dominion Voting Systems, an elections technology company that provides software and voting machines, became infamous after former President Donald J. Trump and his allies accused the company of perpetuating election fraud in the 2020 elections. Dominion responded by filing defamation lawsuits against public figures and news networks, including Fox News, which is currently set to stand trial regarding the issue. The company's case against Fox News was supposed to commence on Monday; however, the proceedings were abruptly delayed for a day without a reason. Fox had been facing several adverse rulings, including the limitation of their legal strategy by Judge Eric M. Davis, who ruled that the network cannot contest whether statements made about Dominion were false or harmful. Instead, the trial will hinge on whether Fox aired the falsehoods with "actual malice.” A settlement may also be in the works, according to The Wall Street Journal. Dominion, which is owned by a private equity firm in New York, is named after Canada's 1920 Dominion Elections Act, which helped remove voting barriers for certain social groups.
