In video, Trump recycles unsubstantiated voter fraud claims

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — Increasingly detached from reality, President Donald Trump stood before a White House lectern and delivered a 46-minute diatribe against the election results that produced a win for Democrat Joe Biden, unspooling one misstatement after another to back his baseless claim that he really won. The Electoral College split matches Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton four years ago, which he described then as a “landslide.” Trump dug further into his contention of a “rigged election” even though members of his own administration, including Attorney General William Barr, say that no proof of widespread voter fraud has been uncovered. He keeps bending norms.” Trump said the election results should be “overturned immediately” in several battleground states and suggested the Supreme Court should intervene in his favor, saying, “Hopefully, they will do what’s right for our country because our country can’t live with this kind of an election.” But chances are remote that the Supreme Court would get involved. His overarching claim: “This election is about great voter fraud, fraud that has never been seen like this before.” In fact, Christopher Krebs, the director of the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, voiced confidence in the integrity of the election ahead of the November vote. Trump zeroed in on the high use of mail-in ballots this year, citing the “Democrat Party’s relentless push to print and mail out tens of millions of ballots sent to unknown recipients with virtually no safeguards of any kind.” In fact, mail-in ballots have a series of built-in safeguards to verify voter identity and prevent fraud.
