Lordship seems to have removed similar ads touting itself as a “proud American company” on The Hayride, a right-wing political blog in Louisiana.
In a statement to POLITICO about the radio ad, a Dominion spokesperson said that “a lot of defamatory disinformation is being spread about Dominion” and that “we want to make sure people hear the truth. By running ads, we can get the facts about our company. share directly with the public. ”
Dominion is one of the contractors looking to comply with Louisiana Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin’s request to replace 10,000 decades-old voting machines, according to The Associated Press, and the state deal is valued at a whopping $ 100 million. Dominion has been supplying voting equipment for Louisiana since 2011.
But the former president and numerous prominent Republicans launched baseless attacks on the company in the lead-up to the White House race last year, claiming it manipulated votes in favor of then-Democratic candidate Joe Biden.
Some senior GOP officials tried to distance themselves from those conspiratorial claims ahead of last month’s Senate election in Georgia, worried that Trump’s rhetoric would deter Republican voters. The pair’s run-off races eventually gave control of the room to the Democrats.
Meanwhile, Dominion is starting a series of lawsuits against Trump allies promoting the baseless theories about counterfeit voting machines. The company has filed defamation lawsuits against Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, former Trump attorney Sidney Powell and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell for $ 1.3 billion in damages each.
