Former President Donald Trump is preparing to contest the results of the 2024 presidential election, should he lose, by promoting claims of voter fraud and election irregularities.
Public Shouldn't be Surprised
According to a report by Axios cited by Digi24, Trump has developed a detailed strategy through public declarations, social media posts, and over 100 preemptive lawsuits aimed at undermining confidence in the electoral process.
Trump's effort to overturn the 2020 election shocked the American public, culminating in both peaceful and violent attempts to reverse the results.
This time, Axios suggests that the public should not be surprised, as Trump has expanded his baseless attacks on voting procedures over recent months.
Used to Rig Elections
At a rally in Pennsylvania, Trump reiterated his disdain for early voting, calling it a "stupid" idea to allow voting 45 days before Election Day.
He has long criticized mail-in voting, alleging without evidence that it facilitates widespread fraud, and recently accused Democrats of exploiting overseas voting for expatriates and military personnel to avoid verifying citizenship and identity.
Trump has also fueled conspiracy theories by falsely claiming that undocumented immigrants who entered the U.S. during the Biden administration are being used to rig elections. Earlier this month, he urged Republicans to push for proof of citizenship as a requirement for voter registration, a proposal that ultimately failed.
Despite the lack of evidence supporting widespread voter fraud, Trump’s campaign and the Republican National Committee have mobilized around 175,000 volunteers and poll workers to focus on "election integrity."
In states like Georgia, changes in local election boards have raised concerns among Democrats about efforts to undermine confidence in future election results.
