Voting Machine Companies Brace for Election Threats and Misinformation

Amid resurging false claims, firms enhance security measures and public outreach to safeguard 2024 election integrity.

Voting machine companies like Dominion and Smartmatic are enhancing security measures to protect employees from doxxing and swatting threats, which have persisted since the 2020 election.
These firms are actively working with law enforcement and have removed personal information from the internet to mitigate potential harassment.
Smartmatic and Dominion are countering misinformation by maintaining fact-checking resources on their websites and engaging with media to clarify their operations.
Legal actions have been taken by these companies against media outlets and individuals spreading false claims, with significant settlements already reached, such as Dominion's $787.5 million settlement with Fox News.
Despite ongoing conspiracy theories, voting technology companies emphasize the reliability and security of their systems, highlighting the robust checks and balances inherent in the U.S. electoral process.
