Domain seems to have removed similar ads presenting itself as a “proud American company” on The Hayride, a right-wing political blog in Louisiana.
In a statement to POLITICO about the radio announcement, a Dominion spokesman said “there is a lot of defamatory misinformation being spread about Dominion” and that “we want to make sure people hear the truth. Ad serving allows us to share facts about our company directly with the public. “
Dominion is one of the contractors seeking to comply with Louisiana Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin’s request to replace 10,000 decades-old electronic voting machines, according to The Associated Press, and the state deal is estimated at $ 100 million. Dominion has been providing voting equipment to Louisiana since 2011.
But the former president and several prominent Republicans launched unsubstantiated attacks on the company in the run for the race for the White House last year, claiming that it rigged votes in favor of then-Democratic candidate Joe Biden.
Some high-ranking Republican Party officials sought to distance themselves from these conspiratorial claims before Georgia’s Senate election last month, fearing that Trump’s rhetoric would dissuade Republican voters from voting. The pair of runoff runs ended up transferring control of the chamber to the Democrats.
Meanwhile, Dominion is embarking on a series of disputes targeting Trump allies who have promoted unsubstantiated theories about rigged voting machines. The company filed defamation lawsuits against Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, former Trump attorney Sidney Powell and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, for $ 1.3 billion in damages each.
