A panel of GOP lawyers, former senators and judges, after reviewing dozens of legal filings, found there was no evidence of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election. The findings were published in a 72-page report on Thursday. The report’s authors include former US senators John Danforth and Gordon Smith, three former federal judges and a Republican campaign lawyer. Following the results of the 2020 presidential election, the Trump campaign and supporters of the former president filed dozens of voter fraud lawsuits, most of which were dismissed, dismissed or withdrawn. Independent election monitoring organizations have repeatedly stated that there was no widespread voter fraud. Days after Election Day, The New York Times contacted election officials in each state, each of whom said there was no evidence that fraud affected the presidential election. Since leaving office, former President Donald Trump has continued to make baseless claims that the election was rigged. Republican lawmakers and Trump supporters have also echoed his baseless claims. The panel of lawyers, senators and judges said in its report that Trump and his supporters “failed to provide substantial evidence to support their case.” “Our conclusion is unequivocal: Joe Biden was the choice of a majority of electors, who themselves were the choice of a majority of voters in their states,” the report said. Trump lost the 2020 election not because of voter fraud, according to the report, but because his presidency was defined in part by the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused a severe economic downturn. “That, combined with an electorate that included a small but statistically significant number willing to vote for other Republican candidates on the ballot but not for President Trump, are the reasons his campaign failed, not a rigged election,” he says. the exhibition. “There is absolutely no evidence of fraud in the 2020 Presidential Election of the magnitude needed to change the outcome in any state, let alone the nation as a whole,” the report said. “In fact, there was no fraud that changed the result in even a single district. It is wrong and bad for our country for people to spread baseless claims that President Biden’s election was not legitimate.”
