Ken Block, who was hired by the Trump campaign to uncover voter fraud in the 2020 election, penned an op-ed on Tuesday saying the 2020 presidential election was not stolen and that there was enough voter fraud to change the outcome of the election. It was stated that there was no evidence of. election.
“Can a steady stream of lies and innuendo overcome the truth?” began the USA Today editorial. “In November 2020, former President Donald Trump claimed that voter fraud changed the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. The day after the election, his campaign proved Trump's claims and returned him to the White House. We hired a voter data expert to help.”
“I am an expert hired by the Trump campaign,” Block wrote.
Bullock, who owns Simpatico Software Systems, said his company's findings were communicated directly to then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and that the Jan. 6 task force investigating the Capitol attack He said the transcripts of the depositions “show what the camp has made clear.'' There is no evidence of voter fraud that would change the outcome of the election. ”
Bullock's op-ed comes as Trump aims to return to the White House in 2024 while continuing to insist that the 2020 presidential election was fraudulent.
President Trump's popularity has increased in recent months, as has the percentage of American adults who say President Biden was not duly elected.
As of January 2, 63.1% of Republican primary voters support Mr. Trump among the candidates in the 2024 presidential election. In second place is former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley with an approval rating of 11.4%, followed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis with an approval rating of 10.1%. According to Decision Desk HQ's national polling average, approval ratings are high.
A Washington Post/University of Maryland poll released Tuesday found that 62% of American adults say Biden was legitimately elected, up from 69% in a similar poll two years ago. It has decreased since. Among Republicans, 31% say Biden was legitimately elected, down from 39% two years ago.
In his op-ed, Bullock noted that claims of election fraud persist, despite an overwhelming amount of evidence proving otherwise.
“Yet, the cries that the election was lost or stolen due to voter fraud show no signs of ceasing, whether it be through stump speeches or outrageous lawsuits like the so-called Kraken scandal brought by Sidney Powell. , Rudy Giuliani's lies, or the continued misguided efforts of those determined to prove that the election was stolen, the constant drumbeat of the people's hearts and minds is riveted to the truth of what happened. 2020 election,” he wrote.
“What these claims fail to take into account is that voter fraud is detectable, quantifiable, and verifiable. “I haven't seen anyone yet,” he added.
He urged the nation to fight against “the woeful lack of national election infrastructure to enforce election integrity, subversive practices such as gerrymandering, and leveling the playing field to make elections fairer.” We urge them to take the time to address the systemic weaknesses in our electoral system.” and become more competitive. ”
“If voter fraud had affected the 2020 election, it would have already been proven. Continuing to lie undermines confidence in the foundations of our democracy,” Bullock wrote. .
