Trump Campaign Reportedly Commissioned Study Showing No Widespread Election Fraud—But Continued To Push Claims Anyway

The Berkeley Research Group conducted a “Project 2020” report commissioned by the Trump campaign that found “there was no reason to believe the final vote totals in five key states were fraudulent” and undercut or disproved the Trump campaign’s fraud allegations, the Post reports based on a copy of the report.

The Trump campaign’s claims there were thousands of cases of dead people voting or people voting twice to change the election results were disproved, with the report finding there were less than 25 instances of dead voters in Georgia or up to 20 in Nevada.

It also ruled out any widespread fraud through mail-in ballots as the Trump campaign alleged, performing tests based on conspiracy theories including so-called “ballot harvesting” in nursing homes, fake voters casting ballots and “bursts” of ballot application submissions that could have suggested widespread fraud.

The report was never made public and the Trump campaign buried its results, with the Post reporting the findings were “a source of frustration” for Trump advisers and a meeting with the Berkeley team and Trump’s team—which Trump was present at—in December 2020 “grew tense.”

Trump continued to push fraud claims that were disproven by the report, with the Post noting his call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R)—in which he suggested “close to 5,000 [dead]
people” voted, a claim the report directly refuted—took place one day after the report came out in January 2021.

DOJ investigators probing the January 6 riot and Trump’s efforts to overturn the election have obtained a copy of the report, according to the Post, with a person who’s been subpoenaed in the investigation telling the Post that investigators are asking for “all evidence that would disprove, or substantiate, fraud claims” and are focused on what Trump and his allies were told about election fraud in the days leading up to January 6.

Do you have any idea how many things corporate media believed to be true and relentlessly push them to be true that were later proven false?

I mean, you could write a book about Covid, but there are many other examples. Look, I never believed ridiculous conspiracy theories like 3000 mules. That was easy to dispel. But Joe Biden did not get 82 million legitimate votes. He did not. Everyone knows, in fact, not long after the election several key Democratic strategists gave an interview to Time magazine, look it up, and they pretty much spelled out how they did it.

And it’s no mystery how they did it. They illegally used state election offices to change election laws using the fear of Covid as the basis. Couple that with the media is nonstop three-year attack against the a sitting president and you had situations where people filled out millions of ballots with one race voted on and that was anybody against Trump. Pretty simple. It was a very few number of votes that decided the 2020 election, something like under 50,000.

Is Joe Biden a legitimate present? I guess it depends on how you define legitimate. But big picture wise, no, he’s not a legitimate president. But there’s nothing we can do about that. You cheated and won, good for you, you got away with the diamonds. Just like the government hiding that Covid escaped from the lab, (most people do that anyway) one of these days it will be widely published what actually happened in 2020 but most of us know it already. You’ll just be late to the party but that’s OK. You can pull up a table and have a beer with us.

And now we have the most inept Presidential administration in the history of the country.

At least we agree on one thing, I do not want Trump for president.

If you keep looking, you will find something. And it wil seem real.
