The fallout from Trump’s 2020 election lies – and the fraud conspiracy theories, hostility towards election officials and promises of combative poll watching activities those falsehoods produced – did not translate into widespread chaos at polling places
The fallout from former President Donald Trump’s lies about the 2020 election – and the fraud conspiracy theories, hostility towards election officials and promises of combative poll watching activities those falsehoods produced – did not translate into widespread chaos at precincts around the country on Tuesday. “We’re seeing everybody being adults,” said Kentucky Secretary of State Michael Adams, a Republican. “We’re seeing the candidates be gracious and conceding and admitting they lost.
It’s about making a movement seem bigger than it is, seems like making a fringe idea feel very mainstream and like it’s everywhere.” After two years that election-deniers bragged that they would flood the polls with observers to find fraud, those promises did not lead them to producing Tuesday any legitimate evidence of mass fraud at voting sites, said Ben Ginsberg, a retired Republican lawyer, who also praised the work done by election officials to prepare for potential conspiracy theories.
