Again, there was ZERO evidence of any kind of systematic fraud in the 2020 election. They filed 62 lawsuits to challenge the results and ALL OF THEM were dismissed for lack of evidence! The system is designed to catch fraud and you can’t say it’s rigged just because you don’t like the results. Trump, Vance, and many other Republican leaders have refused to admit that Trump lost in 2020. When he loses again in 2024, we’re going to have a repeat of all that nonsense. 🙄
“With days left in the presidential race, former President Trump has once again questioned U.S. election integrity — pairing long debunked lies about the 2020 election being stolen from him with equally baseless claims of fresh cheating.
“In a Friday post on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump wrote that there was ‘rampant Cheating and Skulduggery’ in 2020; that he and his allies are watching closely for similar problems in the current race; and that, if he wins, those involved in such ‘unscrupulous behavior’ will be ‘sought out, caught, and prosecuted at levels, unfortunately, never seen before in our Country.’
“Trump’s remarks echoed previous claims he has made without proof that U.S. elections have been corrupted, and drew renewed condemnation from election experts.
“‘Sadly we have seen this playbook before,’ said Sophia Lin Lakin, director of the Voting Rights Project at the American Civil Liberties Union, which is fighting legal challenges to voter access initiatives and protections nationwide.
“‘Trump is doubling down on setting the groundwork to question and try to overturn the election if it doesn’t go his way,” Lakin said. “His threats of prosecution sound in authoritarianism and should concern all who care about preserving our democratic institutions.’
“Sean Morales-Doyle, director of the Voting Rights Program at the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University, said it was important not to repeat Trump’s claims but refute them — because they are not grounded in fact, and they undermine the very system he is criticizing by driving down both trust and participation among voters.”
