Add it to the list: Smartmatic, the voting machine company already suing Newsmax for defamation for the media company’s claims about its products during the 2020 election, has added a new accusation to its array of allegations, accusing the network’s chief executive of deleting evidence including texts and other communications central to the allegations.

Smartmatic made the claim in a comprehensive 57-page memorandum in support of their motion for spoliation sanctions. It was filed in the Superior Court of Delaware last week. A trial will get underway in September.
