One of the pervasive and baseless arguments #StopTheSteal advocates made in the weeks after Joe Biden defeated Donald Trump in the 2020 election was that voting machines, and in particular those made by U.S. Dominion Inc., were manipulated.
This was never proven true. But it didn t stop Trump s allies from saying all sorts of things Dominion s executives and attorneys have argued are false and defamatory: That its origins were in Venezuela; that its machines had a 68% error rate in Antrim County, Michigan; and that its machines were developed to steal elections. Right-wing news outlets carried dozens of stories repeating the allegations with breathless headlines BOMBSHELL, IT WAS SYSTEMIC-PURPOSEFUL FRAUD, and, Oomf! Dominion CEO LIED!
Volusia, Flagler officials condemn MAGA storming of U.S. Capitol
Volusia and Flagler County residents were among the pro-Donald Trump protesters who marched to the U.S. Capitol Wednesday, but it was unclear whether any participated in storming the building.
Some of the Make America Great Again demonstrators broke into the Capitol, forcing a delay in Congress certification of Joe Biden as winner of the presidential election, with members being evacuated.
Erika Benfield of DeBary was at the protest, listening to President Trump s speech decrying problems he had with the election despite state and federal officials repeated determinations that no widespread fraud had affected the outcome. She participated in the march that followed, describing it as peaceful when she got closest to the Capitol.
