Buoyed by previous courtroom success, Dominion Voting Systems issued a warning to those who might question election results in places that use its machines. Fox News agreed to a $787 million settlement with the company after being sued for $1.6 billion over “false election rigging claims.”
With early voting already underway in some states, Dominion posted a message on the social media platform X saying that it is “ closely monitoring claims around the 2024 election.”
“Dominion is focused on supporting our customers who administer U.S. elections,” the message begins. “We are closely monitoring claims around the 2024 election. We strongly encourage people to rely upon verified, credible sources of election information – sources that can explain the many layers of physical, operational, and technical safeguards that exist to protect the integrity of our elections, including use of paper ballots for auditing and recounts. ”
Dominion added, “We remain fully prepared to defend our company and our customers against lies and to seek accountability from those who spread them.”

Somewhat fittingly, Dominion cites the Justice Department, the Department of Homeland Security/CISA, and the U.S. Election Assistance Commission as reliable fact-checking sources.
The company website also included an update on Georgia, dated Oct. 19, 2024, where voting is now underway:
So far during early voting, a record-breaking 1.1 million voters in the State of Georgia have been able to successfully cast their vote with a voter-verifiable paper ballot using Dominion machines. The false claim that voting machines can switch votes has been repeatedly debunked. As both state and local election authorities have confirmed, the issue reported in Whitfield County was due to voter error. The county provided the voter with an opportunity to mark and print a new ballot with their correct choices and the issue was quickly resolved.
Interestingly, Dominion restricted who could respond to the post, though post engagement was included — which was not too favorable to the company.
Here’s a quick sampling of those engagements, as seen on X:
Clowns. I’m an attorney & former prosecutor & a 30+ year software developer. ALL systems can be hacked & have vulnerabilities. Dominion is as vulnerable as any other. Trust YOU ? That’s the fox guarding the henhouse.
Hard pass. #Voting #Election2024 #Dominion https://t.co/f67ZsQv7Mf— AdventureRuss (@RussBergevine) October 21, 2024

I don’t trust Dominion. I don’t trust anything but paper voting.
Tweets tweets like the one I quoted make me trust them less. https://t.co/jdMKTDuSc0

Your settlement with Fox says that “some claims were false”. Not all, some.
So skip us with your bullshit. You’re fucking crooked and we all know it. https://t.co/z4X1M2G8Pq
