A Delaware Superior Court judge denied Fox News' motion to dismiss a lawsuit by Dominion Voting Systems on Thursday.

Dominion will now be able to seek a defamation suit against Fox News for their insistence that Dominion was at the center of a voter fraud scheme that changed votes in the 2020 presidential election in favor of President Joe Biden over former President Donald Trump.

Dominion asserts that "there were signs indicating the reports [of voter fraud] were false. From these, the Court can infer that Fox intended to avoid the truth," Judge Eric. M Davis of the Delaware Superior Court ruled.

Dominion still must prove that Fox News acted maliciously and circulated the claims of voter fraud despite having evidence to the contrary. There are also two questions remaining that Davis identified: whether or not New York's anti-SLAPP laws apply in this case and whether Domino can be considered a well-known public figure.

"For purposes of the Motion, the Court must view all well-pled facts alleged in the Complaint as true and in a light most favorable to Dominion," Davis also wrote.

Fox News released a statement reacting to the dismissal, as reported by The Washington Post, claiming that they "vigorously covered the breaking news surrounding the unprecedented 2020 election, providing full context of every story with in-depth reporting and clear-cut analysis" adding, "We remain committed to defending against this baseless lawsuit and its all-out assault on the First Amendment."

Also named in the suit are Fox News personalities Maria Bartiromo, Tucker Carlson, Lou Dobbs, and Sean Hannity. Additional mentions include lawyer Sidney Powell, former New York City Mayor and Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, and CEO of My Pillow Mike Lindell, all of whom were invited on Fox News programs to discuss the election fraud conspiracy.
