A second firm hired by Trump campaign found no evidence of election fraud

Former president Trump’s campaign quietly commissioned a second firm to study election fraud claims in the weeks after the 2020 election, and the founder of the firm was recently questioned by the Justice Department about his work disproving the claims.

Ken Block, founder of the firm Simpatico Software Systems, studied more than a dozen voter fraud theories and allegations for Trump’s campaign in late 2020 and found they were “all false,” he said in an interview with The Washington Post.

“No substantive voter fraud was uncovered in my investigations looking for it, nor was I able to confirm any of the outside claims of voter fraud that I was asked to look at,” he said. “Every fraud claim I was asked to investigate was false.”

Block said he recently received a subpoena from special counsel Jack Smith’s office and met with federal prosecutors in Washington, but he declined to discuss his interactions with them. Block said he contemporaneously sent his findings disputing fraud claims in writing to the Trump campaign in late 2020...

Prosecutors are trying to show that Trump and his advisers definitively knew — or had good reason to believe — that their myriad fraud claims were false as they continued to spread and fundraise off the claims. The claims ultimately convinced many voters the election was stolen and inspired rioters to storm the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. The falsehoods also brought in more than $250 million to Trump and his allies.

Key to building such a case, experts say, is proving that Trump and other advisers making the claims publicly did not believe them or had evidence to know they were false.

The Deep State is much, much deeper than we thought.

I don’t need Trump to tell me the election was stolen. Either the Dominion machines were rigged and the evidence erased (my view) or millions of illegal aliens voted or were helped to vote (very plausible). There is absolutely NO WAY a candidate who could not speak properly and campaigned from his basement runnng with a woman who only got 2% when she tried to be a Presidential candidate beat Trump. It’s impossible. This is becoming the perfect crime of history.

CYA and paid off!

Agreed. It sounds like this "fact-finding commission" was either part of the steal, or were unprepared for the depths of the Fraud.

Hell, it's everywhere. All you have to do is pull up YouTube.

Trumpeters are starting to sound like the two old guys in Trading Places: “Turn the machines back on, Mortimer!”

Over 400,000 ballots without a bit of chain of custody documentation in Georgia isn’t evidence?!!!!

[Ken522]

Ken Block, founder of the firm Simpatico Software Systems, studied more than a dozen voter fraud theories ...

and decided he'd done enough work and nothing more needs to be done!

[GrootheWanderer]

Apparently, they believe the absence of evidence confirms their beliefs.

I’m sure all this organization did was look at “ballot” recounts and say it’s all good.

Michigan’s Secretary of State Fights to Keep Dead on Voter Rolls

Yea, Biden, who hardly campaigned, got 12,000,000 more votes than Obama.

When Obama’s people were literally lining up outside my front door extolling the greatness of the soon to be first black President.

I don’t believe it for one single minute.

[BenLurkin]

bttt

[gibsonguy]

Here’s what l know: in Mi there was a small precinct that went to Biden. The people that live there knew it was impossible. So they did a hand audit and the Dominion machines had in fact flipped a percentage of votes from Trump to Biden. The precinct went back to Trump. The rat SOS said it was “just a glitch”.
The media nodded their heads and that was that. No glitch is going to move a percentage of data entries from one candidate to another. We will never know how many times it happened and the story is completely scrubbed but l am in Mi and l remember, it is the truth

[Recompennation]

Is likewise a lie not a lie if it is truly believe it?
The left wants the uninformed kept in the dark while they manipulate and control with bought and corrupt support.
Drain the swamp!

Yeah, this happens all the time:

[The Iceman Cometh]

studied more than a dozen voter fraud theories

So, they only looked at the theories and not the actual evidence. Got it.

I'm sure those people who blocked the windows from view in Michigan were absolute saints.

If it is true that there was no significant election fraud, the conclusion is even more frightening. The American people are even hopelessly stupid than imagined.
