Americans voted. Trump files a complaint

Trump sees fraud again. This time the machines are to blame

"Does anyone really believe this 'Election' was fair? How could the polls be so wrong???" – Trump wrote on his social networking site Truth Social. He added that some batches of early voting votes were so large that "it was impossible to win, no matter how many people showed up to vote." “It's about machines that are much more important than the voter” - this is how the entry ended.

The president did not provide any evidence for his theories. His entry concerns a situation in which, among others: in Texas, Democratic senatorial candidate James Talarico won so many votes cast before election day that he would have won even if all voters voting on Tuesday supported his rival. In Texas and many different states, most voters cast their ballots before Election Day, either by mail or in person.

For about a decade, early voters have been more likely to support Democrats.

Contrary to Trump's claims, pre-election polls indicated a decisive victory for the Democrats, although in some cases the opposition candidates turned out to be slightly underestimated. Democrats won majorities in both houses of Congress, including at least 252 seats in the House of Representatives.

The results so far show that 13% more people voted for Democratic Party politicians in the House elections. more voters than for Republicans. This is the largest advantage for either party since 1976.

This was the president's first post-election statement in which he clearly made accusations of electoral fraud. Previously, he only talked about the unfair play of the Democrats in Alaska, who encouraged two candidates to run to confuse voters and steal votes from Senator Dan Sullivan. Last weekend, Trump retweeted numerous entries from anonymous chart accounts that allegedly pointed to alleged irregularities.

However, on election night, the president told the New York Times that he would accept the vote.

This is another edition of the dispute about reality

Trump has repeatedly made unproven claims of voter fraud, especially regarding the 2020 election he lost. He and his associates claimed, among other things, that the producers of voting and vote counting machines participated in the conspiracy. In 2023, Fox News agreed to pay $787 million in compensation to Dominion Voting Systems for spreading these theories. Former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani also reached a settlement.
