US Election Expert Rejects Trump's Voter Fraud Claims
Ken Block, an expert hired by Donald Trump to investigate voter fraud claims regarding the 2020 presidential election, has taken a stark tone in his latest op-ed. Contrary to Trump's narrative, Block asserts that his research never uncovered evidence to support the former president's allegations.
Block's company, Simpatico Software Systems, conducted an in-depth analysis that was outlined during depositions by the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol. According to these transcripts, Trump's campaign found no credible evidence of voter fraud that could have altered the election outcome.
Despite this finding, Block notes that Trump has continued to peddle falsehoods, fueling a "steady diet of lies and innuendo" in an attempt to undermine the truth about the 2020 election. The former president's claims have had a profound effect on people's perceptions, making it increasingly difficult for them to accept reality.
Block emphasizes that voter fraud is detectable, quantifiable, and verifiable. However, he argues that Trump has failed to provide any evidence that meets these criteria. In fact, Block discovered only small-scale instances of bipartisan voter fraud, with a relatively low number of duplicate votes from both Republicans and Democrats.
The expert criticizes Trump's efforts to drag the election infrastructure and legal system into his baseless claims. Instead, Block believes that time, money, and energy should be dedicated to addressing systemic weaknesses in the election systems, such as the lack of national election infrastructure and destructive practices like gerrymandering.
Ultimately, Block concludes that maintaining the lies undermines faith in the democratic foundation of the United States. If voter fraud had impacted the 2020 election, it would already have been proven. By continuing to push falsehoods, Trump is eroding trust in the very institutions that are supposed to protect democracy.
