Alan Dershowitz teamed up with a Texas lawyer, who argued in favor of canceling former President Donald Trump’s 2020 election defeat, to register a lawsuit Thursday from Dominion Voting Systems on behalf of Michigan’s election candidates.
The 8 plaintiffs in the elegance action lawsuit allege that the arrest and desist letters sent to them through Dominion, which participated in a series of defamation lawsuits opposed to allegations of fraud in the 2020 election, violated the civil provision of the “Influenced and Corrupt Racket Organizations Act, “participated in a “civil conspiracy,” and were denied their rights under the First Amendment and the equal coverage clause of the 14th Amendment, according to court documents filed in federal court.
“I think the election was certainly fair. I believe President Biden is the legitimately elected president. But I think the factor deserves to be debated and deserves not to be censored. Dominion seeks to suppress lax speech,” Dershowitz said in an interview. Friday afternoon, the Daily Beast reported.
Dershowitz, who helped defend Trump in the Jan. 6 impeachment trial, is joined through Kurt Olsen, a lawyer who in the past has made legal arguments in favor of canceling the effects of the 2020 election.

The 8 candidates in the effects of the general election say they were “clearly harmed” by the stop and desist letters sent through Dominion, that no further action was taken against them through the company and seek compensation. on the state’s voting process, none of which the vote-generating company discussed.
A complainant named in the case, Kathleen Daavettila, said she “feared for herself and her unborn child” after receiving a letter of cessation and abstention.
Michigan law allows teams of interest and political parties to designate “election challengers” to a voter’s eligibility or the movements of an election inspector, according to the documents.
Dershowitz said he would be an “advisor and consultant” in the case, but that he is not the lead attorney. Dershowitz added Friday that he had “no contact” with Olsen, saying, “I fundamentally disagree with him on many substantive issues, but that remains true with the First Amendment. “
Dershowitz also said he sees the company “as a component of the broader efforts, which come with my recommendation on the Mike Lindell and MyPillow cases. “Olsen’s trial refers to Lindell as an alleged victim of Dominion, but he is part of the case.
The Founder of MyPillow is a $1. 3 billion defamation case over voter fraud allegations that he filed with Dominion and filed his own lawsuit against the company.
