Philadelphia: False claims and lawsuits about voter fraud in Pennsylvania have raised concerns that Republican presidential candidate and former President Donald Trump may once again try to overturn votes there or in other electoral battlegrounds that are likely to determine the winner next Tuesday. This allegation has been made by Democratic Party strategists. Let us tell you that.
Opinion polls nationally, including in seven closely divided states, show Trump is in a close race with Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris four days before the presidential election.
It is alleged that Trump has been continuously making false claims that his defeat in 2020 to Democratic President Joe Biden was the result of widespread fraud in many states. Trump has made this allegation, especially in those places where he lost last time. According to the Democrats, Trump and his supporters have spread baseless claims about this election in Pennsylvania.
In 2020, there was a ruckus over allegations of election fraud.
Allegations that Trump had claimed victory in the 2020 US presidential election and similar rhetoric about voter fraud led to a violent mob of Trump supporters attacking the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, trying to stop or influence the congressional counting of electoral votes that determine the president. “This is sowing the seeds for efforts to overturn the election results that are against Donald Trump,” said Kyle Miller, a Pennsylvania policy strategist at advocacy group Protect Democracy. “We saw this in 2020 and I think Trump and his allies have learned the lesson.”
Trump made a big allegation on October 31
Let us tell you that Trump had alleged voter fraud on Thursday. He said that the investigation of suspicious voter registration forms started after his complaint was proof of voter fraud. It is noteworthy that when long lines were formed to receive mail-in ballots this week, some of his supporters alleged voter suppression. At the same time, state officials and democracy supporters said that such incidents show that a system is working as intended. After the former US President’s campaign filed a lawsuit claiming voter fraud, a judge extended the deadline for mail-in ballots in Bucks County, north of Philadelphia, by three days.
Investigation launched into allegations against Trump’s campaign
The Trump campaign alleged that some voters were removed before Tuesday’s deadline after election officials discovered potentially fraudulent registrations in Lancaster and neighboring York counties, triggering an investigation by local law enforcement. However, there is no evidence that the app has or will result in illegal votes.
