The cries that the 2020 election was lost or stolen due to voter fraud continue with no sign of stopping. But If voter fraud had impacted the 2020 election, it would already have been proven.

Can a steady diet of lies and innuendo overcome the truth?

In November 2020, former President Donald Trump asserted that voter fraud had altered the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. The day after the election, his campaign hired an expert in voter data to attempt to prove Trump’s allegations and put him back in the White House.

I am the expert who was hired by the Trump campaign.

The findings of my company’s in-depth analysis are detailed in the depositions taken by the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol. The transcripts show that the campaign found no evidence of voter fraud sufficient to change the outcome of any election. That message was communicated directly to White House chief of staff Mark Meadows.

And yet, the cries that the election was lost or stolen due to voter fraud continue with no sign of stopping. Whether a stump speech, outrageous lawsuits like the so-called Kraken cases filed by Sidney Powell, Rudy Giuliani’s lies or the ongoing misguided efforts of people determined to prove the election was stolen, the constant drumbeat hardens people’s hearts and minds to the truth about the 2020 election.

    The people who insist the election was stolen either a) don’t actually know how elections work or b) are intentionally lying.

    The problem is, when you try to show them how elections work, they don’t believe you.

        that’s their latest conspiracy theory with taylor swift, that she is committing electoral fraud by encouraging people to vote who otherwise wouldn’t. all their fear mongering about “ballot harvesting” is literally just making sure eligible voters get ballots and that those ballots get turned in on time. that was the issue with mail in ballots, too. they couldn’t find a single vote that was counted and shouldn’t have been, but when people vote republicans lose, so they’re trying to eliminate elections under the guise of “election integrity concerns”.

          If you watch Taylor Swift’s music videos, concert visuals and movies you’ll see evidence that she actually helped to fake the moon landing.

      b) are intentionally lying.

      Steve Bannon frankly confessed Trump’s Start the Steal conspiracy plans to a group of Trump insiders before the election.

      https://www.npr.org/2022/07/22/1112138665/jan-6-committee-hearing-transcript

      …audio from Trump advisor, Steve Bannon, surfaced from October 31st, 2020, just a few days before the Presidential election.

      Let’s listen. [Begin Videotape]

      STEVE BANNON: And what Trump’s going to do is declare victory, right? He’s going to declare victory, but that doesn’t mean he’s a winner. He’s just gonna say he’s a winner. The Democrats — more of our people vote early that count. Theirs vote in mail. And so they’re going to have a natural disadvantage and Trump’s going to take advantage — that’s our strategy.

      He’s gonna declare himself a winner. So when you wake up Wednesday morning, it’s going to be a firestorm. Also — also if Trump is — if Trump is losing by 10 or 11:00 at night, it’s going to be even crazier. Because he’s gonna sit right there and say they stole it. If Biden’s wining, Trump is going to do some crazy shit.
