Suing Fox News for slander was the voting technology company Smartmatic.

The voting technology used by Smartmatic was questioned by Fox News.

Fox News, according to Smartmatic, broadcast untrue statements.

There were settlement negotiations, but no deal was reached.

The study has started again and will likely last three weeks.

Fox News is being sued by Smartmatic for at least $2.7 billion in losses.

Legal experts and members of the media are closely following this case.
