I’d be much more worried about the absolutely insane nonsense that Giuliani and his ilk have been spewing. That is far more damaging to voting machine research than this lawsuit.

That's Dominion's statement. They're describing a pretty exceptional situation / distant from what I would think of as security research.
Obviously that's not a legally binding statement or anything but I think that at least illustrates what this situation is about.

Researchers usually have actual evidence for concerns and so forth. And their motivations usually really is security.
This situation with Giuliani and actual security research seem completely disconnected.

It has been fascinating to watch recent events unfold, wherein various horrible things including direct threats to democracy have happened due to people increasingly being able to just completely make up stuff, and spread it around readily and effectively on unfiltered internet mediums, and a great number of people's immediate concern is that free speech may get quelled too much which will do great harm.
