Voting machine maker Smartmatic yesterday filed lawsuits against Newsmax and the owner of One America News Network (OANN), claiming the conservative news organizations conducted a "disinformation campaign against Smartmatic" and "acted with actual malice and ill will" by falsely claiming "that Smartmatic fixed, rigged, and stole the 2020 US election for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris."

Smartmatic is seeking financial damages in the defamation lawsuits filed against OANN owner Herring Networks in US District Court for the District of Columbia and against Newsmax in Delaware Superior Court.
