Presumably, the issue is baseless accusations in general. It doesn't matter what side a baseless claim happens: its bad either way.
Dominion Voting Systems must prove that Rudy Giuliani was making up information to succeed in this court case. Unfortunately, defamation is surprisingly hard to win in the USA (which is why the US's Tabloid media can get so far with so many claims).
Dominion Voting Systems is not a public figure however, its a company. That... probably makes it easier to win this case.
Still, if Dominion's lawyers think that this case is worth pursuing (despite the difficulty of defamation / libel / slander), that doesn't bode well for Rudy.
