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.

I could see demanding to know who invited you to the "antifa call", but also what were the details of the call.

If there was a call (doubtful) and they can get the organizing details, they can subpoena the platform and determine who else was on the call.
