COMPLAINT AND DEMAND FOR JURY TRIAL
1. This defamation action arises from statements made by Sidney Powell, who— acting in concert with allies and media outlets determined to promote a false preconceived narrative about the 2020 election—caused unprecedented harm. During a Washington, D.C. press conference, a Georgia political rally, and a media blitz, Powell falsely claimed that Dominion had rigged the election, that Dominion was created in Venezuela to rig elections for Hugo Chávez, and that Dominion bribed Georgia officials for a no-bid contract.
2. Powell’s wild accusations are demonstrably false. Far from being created in
Venezuela to rig elections for a now-deceased Venezuelan dictator, Dominion was founded in
Toronto for the purpose of creating a fully auditable paper-based vote system that would empower
people with disabilities to vote independently on verifiable paper ballots. As it grew, Dominion
developed technology to solve many of the technical and voter intent issues that came to light as a
result of the 2000 Presidential Election. Its systems are certified under standards promulgated by
the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (“EAC”), reviewed and tested by independent testing
laboratories accredited by the EAC, and were designed to be auditable and include a paper ballot backup to verify results.
Since its founding, Dominion has been chosen by thousands of election officials throughout the United States to provide the technology to effectively administer transparent and fully auditable elections.
3. Because of these safeguards, there are mountains of direct evidence that
conclusively disprove Powell’s vote manipulation claims against Dominion—namely, the millions of paper ballots that were audited and recounted by bipartisan officials and volunteers in Georgia and other swing states, which confirmed that Dominion accurately counted votes on paper ballots.
4. When respected Georgia Republicans disproved Powell’s false accusations by announcing that Georgia’s paper ballot recount had verified the accuracy of Dominion’s vote counts, Powell sought to discredit them by falsely accusing Dominion of paying kickbacks to them and their families in return for a no-bid contract. The only “evidence” Powell ever put forward to support that false accusation was a doctored certificate from the Georgia Secretary of State. Powell has insinuated that the fact that the certificate is undated is suspicious. In reality, the authentic certificate is dated and is publicly available on the Georgia Secretary of State’s website, along with public records showing there was a competitive bid process for the Georgia contract and that
Dominion competed against Smartmatic and Election Systems & Software (“ES&S”).
