Election conspiracy theorist fined $1,000 a day until he discloses evidence to court
DENVER — Douglas County conservative activist Joe Oltmann owes a former Dominion Voting Systems employee $1,000 a day, starting now, for as long as he continues to withhold evidence of his election rigging claims.
Oltmann is named as a non-party in a defamation suit by Eric Coomer, the former director of product security and strategy for Dominion Voting Systems. He is also facing a defamation and conspiracy lawsuit from Coomer for claims Oltmann made back in 2020.
In November 2020, Oltmann claimed to have heard an “Antifa conference call” where an employee of Denver-based Dominion Voting Systems suggested the election was rigged in favor of Joe Biden.
“I think this is a conspiracy to commit fraud against the American people,” Oltmann told KNUS host Peter Boyles on Nov. 18. “This is a massive, massive, massive putting your finger on the scales of the election.”
Oltmann hasn’t provided evidence to back up the accusation, despite being subpoenaed in Denver District Court.
