It's not a question of if there is election fraud, there was fraud by gop in the 2016 and 2024. We have to stop defending ourselves for nothing and admit that gop fraud did happen with many layers and they are going to create fraud again in 2026 and 2028. The dems are playing the guilt game that the gop always puts on weak ass dems. And sadly we have two fascist leaders of the dems taking apac money and living large. And they are both supporting the genocide by bibi.

“Over and over again, we’re seeing a big focus on taking control of the elections from this administration. You have to wonder why, because there is certainly no evidence of election fraud,” says Alison Gill, director for nominations and democracy at the National Women’s Law Center Action Fund.

How Trump’s False Claims About Voter Fraud Impact Voting Rights | MSNBC

Should we be worried about cheating at the polls? Or is it just a dangerous myth?

VIDEO - You’re Being Lied To About Voter Fraud. Here’s the Truth. 6:24

Widespread cheating at the polls is a myth. So what are election deniers really after?

“You’re Being Lied To About Voter Fraud. Here’s the Truth.” is a seven-minute animated Opinion video that explores a critical issue at the heart of democracy: the sanctity of one person, one vote. Misinformation, lies and conspiracies about United States elections have been growing, especially since 2020. Election deniers have been telling Americans, without evidence, that millions of votes are being cast illegally, by dead people, by people coming in from outside the border and by people stuffing drop boxes with illegal ballots.

In the featured video, Neil Makhija — who will help oversee elections in his county in the battleground state of Pennsylvania — argues that our votes have never been safer or more secure. In fact, someone is more likely to be struck by lightning than to impersonate someone else at a polling site. So, if widespread cheating at the polls is a myth, what are election deniers really after?

How concerned are you about the issue of voter fraud? How persuasive is Mr. Makhija’s argument that it is a dangerous myth and that the integrity of U.S. elections have never been better safeguarded? Do you agree with his contention that “To protect democracy, we can’t just play defense. We need to go on offense to expand voting rights and voting access”?

6. To learn more, read “Election Fraud Falsehoods Are Spreading. Here’s What to Watch For.” Stuart A. Thompson writes:

Conspiracy theories about voter fraud in this election are already swirling, on themes as diverse as illegal immigrants, mail-in ballots and even Sharpies. Election deniers have resurfaced many of the same stories that proved potent in 2020 as former President Donald J. Trump tried to sow doubts about election integrity.

Electoral fraud in the United States is extremely rare, according to courts, election officials, audits and studies. But that has not stopped Mr. Trump or his allies from making false claims of widespread voter fraud a central part of their message.

Online influencers have helped his cause by sharing false, misleading and baseless rumors about issues that voters have faced with voting machines, ballots or other parts of the election process.
