'I am the expert': Trump's election fraud claim debunked by man he hired to prove it

Raw Story  

The man hired by Donald Trump to prove election fraud blasted his client Tuesday for continuing to push a “lie” that his research thoroughly disproved. Ken Block’s company Simpatico Software Systems was contracted by Trump in November 2020 after the then-president first made claims that voter fraud caused his general election defeat. That message was communicated directly to White House chief of staff Mark Meadows.” Block then went on to blast the “steady diet of lies and innuendo” that Trump has continuously relied on to “overcome the truth.” "The cries that the election was lost or stolen due to voter fraud continue with no sign of stopping,” he wrote. I have yet to see anyone offer up 'evidence' of voter fraud from the 2020 election that provides these three things,” Block wrote.
