Trump's Researchers Found No Election Fraud

 


In a desperate attempt to uncover evidence that the 2020 election was rigged in President Biden's favor, the Malignant Loser's campaign hired a research firm to investigate in the weeks after the election. Their findings? There's no there there. The WaPo reports:

"Former president Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign commissioned an outside research firm in a bid to prove electoral-fraud claims but never released the findings because the firm disputed many of his theories and could not offer any proof that he was the rightful winner of the election, according to four people familiar with the matter.

The campaign paid researchers from Berkeley Research Group, the people said, to study 2020 election results in six states, looking for fraud and irregularities to highlight in public and in the courts. Among the areas examined were voter machine malfunctions, instances of dead people voting and any evidence that could help Trump show he won, the people said. None of the findings were presented to the public or in court. [snip]

'They looked at everything: change of addresses, illegal immigrants, ballot harvesting, people voting twice, machines being tampered with, ballots that were sent to vacant addresses that were returned and voted,' said a person familiar with the work who, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe private research and meetings. 'Literally anything you could think of. Voter turnout anomalies, date of birth anomalies, whether dead people voted. If there was anything under the sun that could be thought of, they looked at it.'"  (our emphasis)

As with the 60 plus courts that ruled against his bogus claims of election fraud, finding no evidence to support him, the research he commissioned proved what he's been denying since 2020: he lost, substantially, with no rigging or election fraud involved. That his own campaign paid for the research that proved he was lying is especially gratifying.
