In the four years since his 2020 election loss, Donald Trump has continued to bolster false claims that widespread election fraud was the cause of his demise. Now, as early and mail-in voting opens up in several states that will help decide the 2024 election , the former president is ramping up his fear mongering over bogus claims of fraud and subterfuge. Earlier this month, Trump vowed to prosecute “Lawyers, Political Operatives, Donors, Illegal Voters, & Corrupt Election Officials,” and anyone else involved “in unscrupulous behavior” linked to alleged voter fraud .
This “will be under the closest professional scrutiny and, WHEN I WIN, those people that CHEATED will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law, which will include long term prison sentences so that this Depravity of Justice does not happen again,” he wrote in the particularly terrifying Truth Social post . On Monday, Trump provided a window into what he considers “unscrupulous behavior.” The former president accused Democrats of manipulating overseas military and absentee ballots in order to “cheat” him out of a win in November.
It’s outright false, but it’s the latest data point in Trump’s continued claims of a conspiracy to rob him of the electoral victory he feels entitled to. To help keep track of what exactly the former president has been claiming, here are the false allegations of voter fraud Trump has made in recent weeks. Democrats manipulating absentee and military ballots.
