I wouldn't call it unfortunate. If you don't want to be a public figure, one thing of which to steer clear is certainly the business of operating voting systems in the US presidential election. This is clearly public interest.

This doesn’t just happen to voting machine companies. Sometimes being smeared by a tabloid or newspaper might generate enough interest to make the victim a LPPF and raise the bar for filing a defamation suit.
