On the evening of Wednesday (December 23), Trump personally proposed for the first time the idea of establishing a “special prosecutor” to investigateelectionFraud.
He said on Twitter, “After seeing large-scale voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election, some people think that there is no need (to establish a) strong, fast and impartial special prosecutor. I disagree with this idea.”
“This is the most corrupt election in our country’s history and it must be carefully investigated!” he wrote.
The Trump campaign charged that voter fraud was widespread and that Biden’s lead was the result of a “national conspiracy” planned by Democrats. Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, said that he received at least 1,000 sworn testimonies from the public, in which the alleged wrongdoing was “enough to overturn any election.”
But the government election agency claimed in early November that this year’s election was “the safest election in American history.” “There is no evidence that any voting system was deleted, lost, ballots changed or damaged in any way.”
On December 15, a poll released by McLaughlin & Associates showed that 46% of Americans believed that fraud occurred during the election process; 52% agreed that President Trump would continue the lawsuit. And half of these people are voters who voted for Biden. In other words, these data can represent the opinions of both Republican and Democratic voters.
