Fox News’ interview with former President Donald Trump on Monday became tense after host Bret Baier told Trump, “But you lost the 2020 election.” After Trump was asked how would win back the independent, suburban women voters who were a “hard no” in supporting him despite disapproving of President Joe Biden, Trump said, “First of all, I won in 2020 by a lot, ok? Let’s get that straight. I won in 2020.” “That’s not what the votes show,” Baier shot back. Trump insisted, “You take a look at Truth the Vote, where they have people stuffing the ballot boxes on...

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) testified under oath and admitted how farfetched former President Donald Trump's voter fraud claims really were. Sen.

When the Republican candidate for Arizona governor accused the state’s most populous county of “slow-rolling” the vote count to skew early election results, a local official fired back.“Quite frankly, it is offensive for Kari Lake to say that these people behind me are slow-rolling this, when they’re working 14 to 18 hours” every day, said Bill Gates, the Republican chairman of the Maricopa County board of supervisors.In 2020, Maricopa County landed in the national spotlight while certifying results amid false claims that the election was stolen from Trump. The following year, it underwent an “audit” pushed by Republicans in the...

It’s understandable that Democrats would want to constantly revisit Jan. 6 — to invoke it, investigate it and sacralize it even. It’s a mystery, at least from a certain level of abstraction, why Republicans would want to have anything to do with that day or want to fixate on the 2020 election. The party is on the cusp of a midterm triumph, has enormous openings on the economy and education thanks to Biden administration stumbles and left-wing overreach, is making inroads among Hispanic voters and has a well-stocked political bench that Democrats should envy. Yet the GOP is stuck litigating...

When Barr had finally had enough of Trump's insistence that the election had been "stolen," even though the evidence needed to prove such a claim was still inadequate, the attorney general tried to bring the conversation to an end. "I understand you are very frustrated with me, Mr. President, and I am willing to submit my resignation. But I have . . . " Bang. A loud sound, almost like a gunshot, cut me off and jolted us all. "Accepted," the president yelled. It took me a second to see that President Trump had slammed the table with his palm....

Ann Coulter panned 2000 Mules in a Substack post on Wednesday, stating that Dinesh D’Souza’s film about the 2020 presidential election amounts to a “conspiracy movie.” Coulter, who once bigly supported Donald Trump but turned on him during his presidency, had similarly harsh words for the former president. In a post simply titled “Dinesh’s Stupid Movie,” (subtitled, “And the grift goes on”) Coulter begins by slamming Trump for using his false claims about the 2020 election being stolen from him to bilk his supporters out of $250 million under the guise of “Stop the Steal.” She added, And let’s not...

More than 100 Republicans who won their 2022 primary elections have supported and amplified Donald Trump’s baseless assertion that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him, a fraudulent claim that fuelled riots at the US Capitol and is central to a House committee investigation into the attack. An analysis from The Washington Post, reviewing the field of candidates in this year’s races through 7 June primaries, has so far found that voters picked seven candidates for US Senate, 82 candidates for the House of Representatives, five for governor, four for state attorney general and one for secretary of state...

Texts between Sean Hannity and then-WH press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany:

The crux of Robinson’s post: “On Primary Day in Georgia, Kemp gets 74% and Perdue gets 22%. Nobody in any election in America gets 74% of the votes. Ever. It doesn’t happen. Obvious fraud.” But the thing that Robinson claims never happens actually happens with regularity. Aaron Blake points to a 2009 study that “found that about 1 in 10 Senate incumbents took less than 75 percent of the vote in their primaries. Many faced token or no opposition, but it does happen — very regularly.” . . . Marjorie Taylor Greene carried 70 percent of her district at the...

When I met with Crystal Mason recently at her home in Rendon, Texas, we sat on a wide couch that served as the center of her domain, with plenty of space for children, grandchildren, nephews, and nieces. Their photographs filled the house. Mason’s mother called to her from another room, needing advice; later, her eight-month-old grandson, Carter, joined us on the couch after waking up from an afternoon nap. For hours that day, Mason spoke candidly about the illegal-voting case that has consumed her life for half a decade. With us was one of her lawyers, Alison Grinter Allen. If...

The inaccuracy came from a wife who signed her name to ballots for both her and her husband, the Secretary of State said. “It really shows you and should give voters confidence that there’s accuracy and integrity, and security, in the absentee ballot process so we’re really grateful for GBI’s support,” Raffensperger said. The audit found no fraudulent absentee ballots with a 99% confidence threshold, Raffensperger’s office said in a news release Tuesday.
