After the 2020 presidential election concluded, Donald J. Trump’s campaign filled over 60 lawsuits contesting Joe Biden’s win. After the cases were struck down by state courts, the Trump campaign pressured several governors to hold recounts. On December 10, 2020, after several successive lawsuits had been dismissed, Trump tweeted, "This is going to escalate dramatically. This is a very dangerous moment in our history...The fact that our country is being stolen. A coup is taking place in front of our eyes, and the public can't take this anymore." On March 31, 2021 the Arizona Senate Republican Caucus hired for firms to audit the presidential ballots in Maricopa County. The results of the re-count are expected to be published in July 2021.
Narrow down the conversation to these participants:
Ideology:
Deleted4yrs4Y
Yes, but widespread belief in fraud proves that electoral reform is required for sake of clarity and transparency.
Deleted4yrs4Y
In the big cities it was conducted unfairly.
@5GHSCDS4yrs4Y
Yes, as unfair as our electoral system is
Deleted4yrs4Y
There was likely quite a bit of voting fraud in the major cities.
Deleted4yrs4Y
Yes, given our current election system
Deleted4yrs4Y
@3B3SX4W3yrs3Y
Unknown. With mass mail-in voting due to COVID, there was potentially voter fraud that could not be proven.
Deleted3yrs3Y
@4VSB86P3yrs3Y
No proof of widespread fraud, but it hasn't been properly investigated. The election must be audited to ensure transparency from election officials.
@3SZTXMT4yrs4Y
No, in that not all parties were allowed access to the national debates.
@clbcarman4yrs4Y
No, The DNC cheated Bernie Sanders again in the primary. Also, voter suppression, the electoral college, and a first-past-the-post voting system mean the two corporate parties control the outcome of the election. No election is democratic in a bourgeois dictatorship.
@heatherdvdprincess3yrs3Y
No, fraud was clear, from people covering windows, to not letting in a members of the opposite party to watch for fraud, to using unapproved and vulnerable software, avoiding investigations, agrresive media saying "no evidence" when even a little evidence is some evidence, and forensic analysis of ballots and of what time ballots were submitted. Plus congress voted to approve Biden because of a whitehouse riot, rather than for what they believed was true. The overnight rise in Biden's votes on election night is unprecedented and thus more than suspicious.
@4PV8YZ34yrs4Y
Democratic primaries, No. General Election, Yes, as far as we currently know.
@3VSVGRS4yrs4Y
No, there where changes to voting procedures and laws that favored one party. In addition widespread censorship of material damaging to or contradicting one side.
@6K36GJH4yrs4Y
Was any election done fairly?
@8WBK4V73yrs3Y
No, because of voter suppression and the lack of a widespread ability to send ballots in
@8TYT2GB4yrs4Y
No, there were significant attempts at voter suppression that were detrimental to our democracy.
@7GK4RSK4yrs4Y
Yes, but something needs to be done about the news and social media to make it more impartial.
@87DPZV74yrs4Y
@877HFBT4yrs4Y
This is a developing investigation that can go either way.
@5GHSCDS3yrs3Y
This question is no longer relevant and should be removed
@39CTTZH4yrs4Y
We do not have enough information for this to be properly answered. But I lean towards yes.
@6MZYWZZ4yrs4Y
It was conducted in accord with the rules at the time, but the rules were bad and should never be used again.
@6HQ4HQ54yrs4Y
No, there are too many questions about the election that still have not been answered. And, the Democrats seem to be highly against anyone even looking into these questions to even see if they have merit or not. It seems pretty odd to me.
@75RKH4B3yrs3Y
No, no election is truly fair until it is conducted in a digital, fully auditable way. The current system leaves too much room for human error.
@77ZS2HX4yrs4Y
On a factual basis, it is impossible for anyone to know the answer to this question
@Landon-Dillard3yrs3Y
Yes, the conspiracy theories from the republicans are stupid
@89CDM9C3yrs3Y
Biden won, but lax rules or last minute rewriting of rules left too much room for doubt. Voting regulations should be tightened to provide the public with the assurance that elections are fair.
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
Yes, when investigated, there was no evidence to indicate any sort of voter fraud
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
Yes, there was no evidence to indicate any sort of voter fraud
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
Yes, various state recounts have been conducted and there is no evidence to support widespread fraud
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
Yes, there is no evidence to support widespread fraud
@8NXXD9X3yrs3Y
No, but neither has any contest involving one or more privately-funded campaigns
@8PWSCLT4yrs4Y
No, media and big tech acted in a partisan manner in an attempt to skew results, + propaganda.
@8RQ55J44yrs4Y
No, Mass Voter Suppression stole votes from the democrats
@8SQXSFV4yrs4Y
There was suspicious things occurring but no evidence that it was enough to change the outcome
@8T58M5P3yrs3Y
No, China printed illegal ballots that were clearly unfolded
@8TN3QYK4yrs4Y
No, but I do believe that Joe Biden won
@8TH2QWQ4yrs4Y
Yes, Joe Biden won fair and square.
@GreatPondG4yrs4Y
No, there were plenty of legal issues, including states like Pennsylvania illegally allowing mail-in ballots far after they were allowed to push for it
@lucasnat0r4yrs4Y
A fair election is impossible so vote counting should be as public as possible.
@8V3ZX3D4yrs4Y
No, there was so much voter fraud.
@8TZN47S4yrs4Y
No, because people were threatening others depending on who they voted for.
@8V4336F4yrs4Y
No, there was too much social media bias and censorship, and the let a candidate with medical issues in office, the election also didn't seem fair at all.
@8VC7WDN4yrs4Y
Too many shenanigans going on in the 2020 election if you ask me! And if social media is going to ban me for this, LET THEM! We are being made stronger for this!
@8VC7WDN4yrs4Y
No, too many shenanigans going on in the 2020 election and social media bias
@8VTBF8J3yrs3Y
Yes, not enough evidence to support widespread fraud. But social media bias and censorship needs to be curved before we give away our freedom of speech for one sided belief and silencing of differencing opinions.
@fruityradical3yrs3Y
Yes, Bernie Sanders and third parties were unfairly silenced
@8W5RWDJ3yrs3Y
no the 2020 presidential election was rigged by all the ballots being thrown off the mail trucks and into lakes and under rocks and bridges and with the security having to be 100 meters away from the ballot counters its not fair because they can totally make it so trump had less votes than biden and the people counting were all probally liberals so they were going to definently make sure trump didnt get into office.
@8WMC25T3yrs3Y
Yes, but some states showed possible tampering of ballots and violations of state constitutions
@8WP7GRQ3yrs3Y
I think there could have definitely been some cheating involved but nothing was found so it cant be proven.
@8WRGD393yrs3Y
NO! you need some form of ID to vote. And NO mail in ballots
@8X26N7C3yrs3Y
Yes/No, Many theories were made but not many backed by facts, Although we saw many counts of fake voters, no evidence was able to be found to see if it was cheated or not.
@Thomasj663yrs3Y
@8XBX2P53yrs3Y
No, Joe Biden won by way of voter fraud.
@8XD6BY63yrs3Y
No because while it wasn’t stolen there was still too much fraud.
@8XNT9ZQ3yrs3Y
NO, overuse of 'mail-in ballots' without proper ID is dangerous. Other issues such as dead people on the roles, ballot harvesting (particularly in nursing homes), kicking out election observers, off loading ballots from trucks after voting had closed, etc. have been verified. I know people from both parties that were told they had already voted. We must clean up our elections!
@8XR35VL3yrs3Y
Unknown, but accept the decision.
@8XQCD4Q3yrs3Y
No, established political parties manipulated the results of their primaries in favor of their preferred candidates, and mass disinformation campaigns deluded voters.
@8XTSLDY3yrs3Y
Yes, there will always be voter fraud in our current voting system
@8Y2SW4M3yrs3Y
In some states it was but not all.
