Trump Campaign Knew Voting Machine Allegations Were Baseless.
A memo surfaced that demonstrates that he Trump campaign knew the ‘vote rigging’ conspiracy were baseless. (New York Times)
“Two weeks after the 2020 election, a team of lawyers closely allied with Donald J. Trump held a widely watched news conference at the Republican Party’s headquarters in Washington. At the event, they laid out a bizarre conspiracy theory claiming that a voting machine company had worked with an election software firm, the financier George Soros and Venezuela to steal the presidential contest from Mr. Trump.
But there was a problem for the Trump team, according to court documents released on Monday evening.
By the time the news conference occurred on Nov. 19, Mr. Trump’s campaign had already prepared an internal memo on many of the outlandish claims about the company, Dominion Voting Systems, and the separate software company, Smartmatic. The memo had determined that those allegations were untrue.”
The Trump campaign decided to go with the election fraud narrative in an effort to undermine American democracy to further the ego of 1 man. A major political party in the United States (one of only 2!) decided that the foundation of America, the democracy upon which all else is based, was not worth it. Just not worth calling out a person who never had any inclination or even remote desire to abide by the will of the people if that meant he did not win. This spells deep trouble for America and what we view collectively as vital to the continued success and vitality of the nation.
