A second firm hired by Trump campaign found no evidence of election fraud
WaPo ^ | 04/27/2023 | Josh Dawsey

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.

There were 168 million registered voters in 2020. Trump received over 74 million votes, and if the vote count can be believed, Biden received 81 million votes. That’s a total of 155 million votes cast. That’s a 92% turnout!! The average turnout for a presidential election in this country has been between 55%-62%. That alone is grounds to believe the 2020 election was fixed!!

I've lived in Philly and I've lived in Chicago. Democrat vote fraud was the stuff of legends.

Philly and Chicago elections became honest for once in 2020?

A well orchestrated fraud does not leave evidence to be easily found.

Yep, and they pay better than Trump does.

And here you are, quoting the lyingist bunch of Liars in all of the United States.

If it's from the Washington Post or the New York times, it's automatically garbage and should be discounted immediately.

Furthermore, I don't need @$$holes to tell me there was no election fraud when i've already seen more evidence to prove election fraud than I ever needed to see.

There was ELECTION FRAUD. Massive Election fraud in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Georgia, Arizona and Nevada.

Trump was lousy in picking firms to commission. Next time he would pick better firms.

Do you know how you can KNOW that the 2020 election was stolen? There was absolutely no magnanimity in victory by the left.

Every single person with the ability to actionably contest the results, who even mildly suggested that the election might not have been honest, was viciously attacked, from threats of prison for trumped up charges, to disbarment and even expulsion from state legislative seats.

It was the most telling, exaggerated reaction that you would expect from a guilty party upon being accused of some serious crime. Put your accuser in jail or shut them up by any means necessary.

They must not have looked to hard or they came in with preconceived notion that there is no such thing as election fraud.

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.

I don't either. In the eyes of Democrats, Biden is a pathetic weenie compared to Barack Obama. Biden could never have done as well as Barack Obama, and the assertion that he beat Barack Obama by 12 million votes is on the face of it proof of election fraud.

Unpossible.

That statement right there alone proves the guy didn't do the job he was claiming. It has taken us over a year to piece together the various methods they used to defraud the election in 2020. If the guy had "results" in 2020, he's either a liar or incompetent.

Wait, let me guess! Trumpers will not accept these results.

"The firm is part of the deep state!" Lol.
