Voting equipment company Smartmatic settles defamation lawsuit with far-right network

Smartmatic sued OAN in 2021, saying it was a victim of OAN's disinformation' that its equipment flipped the election for Biden

The voting equipment company Smartmatic has agreed to settle a defamation lawsuit with the far-right One America News Network (OAN) over lies broadcast on the network about the 2020 election.

Erik Connolly, a lawyer for Smartmatic, confirmed the case had been settled, but said the details were confidential. Attorneys for Smartmatic and OAN notified a federal judge in Washington on Tuesday that they were agreeing to dismiss the case, which Smartmatic filed in 2021.
