If about 81,000 votes had flipped, Trump may have received Arizona, Georgia, Nevada and Wisconsin and gotten sufficient help within the Electoral Faculty to stay president.

Trump misstated that margin as 22,000 votes.

Judges dominated towards Trump on the deserves repeatedly

A gaggle of Republican-affiliated election attorneys and authorized students reviewed all 64 of the Trump lawsuits difficult the 2020 election and located solely 20 of them have been dismissed by judges earlier than a listening to on the deserves. In 30 circumstances, the rulings towards Trump got here after hearings on the deserves.

Within the remaining 14 circumstances, the report for Stanford College’s Hoover Establishment discovered, Trump and his allies dropped their lawsuits earlier than they even obtained to the deserves part. “In many cases, after making extravagant claims of wrongdoing, Trump’s legal representatives showed up in court or state proceedings empty-handed, and then returned to their rallies and media campaigns to repeat the same unsupported claims,” the report states.

Nearly each state already makes use of paper ballots

WHAT TRUMP SAID: “We should go to paper ballots.”

THE FACTS: Trump and Rogan each argued that voting machines are unreliable and that the US ought to depend on paper ballots. Trump even cited his billionaire tech mogul supporter Elon Musk’s enthusiasm for such a change.

Nearly the entire nation already made that swap, nevertheless.

In 2020, greater than 90% of the election jurisdictions within the U.S. used paper ballots, in keeping with the Brennan Middle for Justice. The following 12 months, the federal Election Help Fee modified its pointers to suggest each jurisdiction use paper.

The one state to not use a voting system with paper ballots or a paper path of any type is Republican-run Louisiana.
