Trump’s Win Inspires New Wave of Dangerous Election Fraud Conspiracies
In the wake of Trump’s election victory, a number of unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud have surfaced. These claims have been repeatedly debunked by election officials, but they continue to circulate online and in some media outlets. Experts warn that these conspiracies could undermine trust in the electoral process and lead to violence.
One of the most common claims is that millions of illegal votes were cast for Clinton. However, there is no evidence to support this claim. In fact, a study by the Brennan Center for Justice found that only 31 credible cases of voter fraud were out of over one billion ballots cast in the 2016 election.
Another common claim is that voter fraud is more common in certain areas, such as urban areas with large minority populations. However, there is no evidence to support this claim either. In fact, a study by the Government Accountability Office found that voter fraud is actually more common in rural areas.
