Smartmatic filed lawsuits against right-wing media networks One America News Network and Newsmax on Wednesday, claiming that the outlets defamed the election technology company by pushing conspiracy theories over the 2020 U.S. presidential election.
"The damage to Smartmatic from this parallel universe of lies and disinformation has reverberated across the United States and in dozens of countries around the world," Smartmatic CEO Antonio Mugica said in a statement. "The global repercussions for our company cannot be overstated."
