The voting machine company Smartmatic accuses the right-wing network of knowingly airing lies about the 2020 vote

Smartmatic sued Newsmax in Delaware state court in November 2021, alleging it spread false claims against the voting company, which a judge allowed to move forward in February 2023; the case will go to trial September 30 unless a settlement is reached,

A jury will decide whether Newsmax engaged in actual malice against Smartmatic over claims that the voting machine company helped rig the 2020 presidential election.
