Last Tuesday, Donald Trump had gotten a target letter informing
him that he was under heavy investigation for his past actions.
Later that night, he responded by announcing misinformation at a town hall event in Iowa.
I also have to say something else,” former president said at the event.
‘cause the one thing a lot of people, including you, don’t
talk about: they also create phony ballots, and that’s a real problem.
That’s my opinion.
They create a lot of phony ballots.”.
Most people were quick to call this out as yet another lie to try and
garner sympathy from the audience.
Trump’s previous reputation was already evidence that he wasn’t telling
the full truth, but the story just doesn’t line up with what we know.
Even disregarding the security measures set in place to prevent conflicts like these
from arising, the data that we do have on hand goes into detail about the actual
amount of deception done at the election.
There was a tiny smattering of voter fraud in the 2020 election that was
not even close to widespread enough to have changed the outcome in any
state,” confirmed CNN in their news article covering Trump’s statements.
While a minuscule number of people – some of them Trump supporters – voted illegally by
doing such things as sending in a ballot for a deceased relative, voting twice or voting
while prohibited because of a felony record, there was no sign that anyone created “a
lot of phony ballots” in this election or any other recent federal election.”.
The final nail in the coffin for Trump the statements from David Becker.
As the founder and executive director of the Center for Election Innovation and
Research, he was able to shed some light on the truth of the matter for everyone to see.
I talk to election officials all the time, all over the country, Rs and Ds, and in
my 25 years working in this space I don’t recall hearing of any effort to create
phony ballots in ANY election,” Becker said.
It would be about the dumbest crime one could commit – zero chance
it works and close to 100% chance you get caught and go to prison.”.
