Companies like Smartmatic and Dominion Voting Systems are on the offensive in the 2020 election.

They're contending with a problem that seems sometimes insurmountable: fighting conspiracy theories amid a crisis of trust.

Communications was once an “afterthought” for election commissions, Smartmatic says.

Election technology companies don't “shy away” from scrutiny, says Sara Cutter .

The backlash against voting tech companies “is steeling their resolve,” Cutter says.

The industry was surprised” by calls for paper ballots, says Cutter , since “ 98 percent of jurisdictions” use paper ballots.
