The fact check shows that Trump is conflating two different numbers: the number of ballots that arrive late and the number that are rejected due to signature mismatch. If Trump has any idea what he's talking about, I'm comfortable calling that level of dishonesty a "lie." My view is that he just doesn't care what's true or not, and he probably knows that much of what he's saying is false.
> Trump lawyers did try to prevent these election changes, by taking them to court.
Which changes?
State election laws are set by the state legislature. In Georgia, the Republicans control both houses, plus the governorship. It's hard to believe that the Republican party would have set the rules to disadvantage their own Presidential candidate.
- dukeofdoom 6y agoI believe the state of Texas lawsuit currently before the supreme court, (joined by 16 other states) contradicts this. I believe some of the rule changes were made by state election officials, without legislature. Also some counties had different rules than other counties. Which is not legal. One of his court cases about state election changes made it to the supreme court on appeal before the election..it was turned dow. But I won't be able to find an article about it now, because when I google things now, it just returns news about the recent court cases.
