Donald Trump repeatedly lied in public and in private about what he claimed – with made-up numbers – was extensive election fraud, and went as far as to spend more than $600,000 to commission a study that would prove his allegations true.

Photo Insert: “So dead people voted, and I think the number is close to 5,000 people,” Trump told Brad Raffensperger in his infamous January 2, 2021 telephone call demanding the Georgia Republican Secretary of State “find” him an additional 11,780 votes.
The report did the exact opposite, deflating his lies but Trump continues to prattle about the bogus 2020 election fraud.
David Badash and the New Civil Rights Movement (NCRM) wrote for Raw Story on Mar. 18, 2023, that the Washington Post got a copy of the report and published the findings, and compared them to lies Trump told.
“So dead people voted, and I think the number is close to 5,000 people,” Trump told Brad Raffensperger in his infamous January 2, 2021 telephone call demanding the Georgia Republican Secretary of State “find” him an additional 11,780 votes. That was not only false, it was a lie. Trump’s own report put the likely potential number at 23.
In court documents, Trump’s lawyers, trying to overturn Nevada’s election results stated, the Washington Post reported “1,506 ballots were cast in the names of dead people and 42,284 voted twice.
Trump lost the Silver State by about 33,000 votes.” The truth was that the number of dead voters casting ballots was closer to 20.
The US Department of Justice also obtained emails, reports, and interviews showing Trump’s own campaign officials “analyzing, and often discrediting, claims that Trump was making publicly.”
