In primetime speech, Trump doesn't provide evidence for illegal voting
(NPR) President Trump, who for years has sowed doubt about the security of American elections, raised claims on Thursday that the country's voting systems are vulnerable to being "rigged and stolen," without providing new evidence of a single fraudulent vote cast in any election.
In a 25-minute primetime address from the White House's East Room that included many baseless claims, Trump said he was declassifying intelligence documents that he said reveal "shocking vulnerabilities in our election infrastructure." Those include allegations of Chinese efforts to influence American elections, concerns over voting machine security, and that noncitizens are found on certain states' voter rolls.
However, many of the documents the White House posted online during the speech did not appear to fully support sweeping claims the president made.
Trump said during the address his goal was "not to weaken confidence in elections." However, he has long contended that he won the 2020 election a lie that still comes up often in his speeches and social media posts. Numerous reviews have debunked his claims about that election.

(43,520 posts)WTF? How did he find this, when he doesn't have any states' voter roles?
He has sued at least 15 states to get them to turn over their voter registration data, and he has LOST EVERY CASE. He's 0-15 and he will continue to lose if he brings more lawsuits against our states.
No federal judge will rule in Chump's favor, if it means violating the judge's oath to uphold the US Constitution. And Chump's voter-data lawsuits are unconstitutional. So I'm calling "BS" on all of this!
