Thanks. I’ll have to read up on those allegations. The official counts appear to show that Trump received over 2 million more votes than Harris, so it seems to me any fraud to make this happen would have needed to be massive. We do have the electoral college system so I guess it’s possible that smaller efforts could have flipped the result, but we barely hear anything about any of this in the media. Given that, my first instinct to the idea that Trump’s win in 2024 was a coup is to think that it’s a liberal version of MAGA’s 2020 election fraud claims.
There were (are) a bunch of lawsuits about it. The DOJ being firmly in the hands of the Trump administration is actually one of the reasons many of these cases aren’t seeing light, not to mention all major media outlets are now owned by Trump supporters.
One I remember in particular were several counties in NY state where votes for a Dem senator were recorded, but NO votes for president were recorded. Many thousands of times.
The coup is in progress; and we won’t know if it succeeds or not until November I guess
Thanks for the link. I have no doubt that lawsuits fly with every election, especially national/presidential ones, but the main question for me would be how many more legitimate lawsuits were filed in response to 2024 compared to 2020, 2016, 2012? I have a hard time believing that there was widespread fraud and a coup this last election if nearly no one talks about it, not just in major media outlets but also non-major media, alternative media, social media. I can count on my fingers the number of times I’ve seen this mentioned.
Well, Trump did say that his buddy Elon is very good with computers, including voting machines, and would ensure a victory… That alone should trigger an alarm bell
There are multiple lawsuits alleging fraud in the 2024 election, on the part of Trump, Elon and various republican factions
