Trump allies test a new strategy for blocking election results
In five battleground states, county-level officials have tried to block the certification of vote tallies — which election experts worry is a test run for trying to thwart a Biden victory.Amy Gardner (The Washington Post)
"Donald J. #Trump has baselessly and publicly cast doubt about the fairness of the #2024election about once a day, on average, since he announced his candidacy for #president...
Though the tactic is familiar — #Trump raised the specter of a “rigged” #election in the 2016 and 2020 cycles, too — his attempts to #undermine the 2024 contest are a significant escalation."

Trump Has Already Sown Doubts About the 2024 Election Results
A false, familiar claim by the former president — that the contest in which he’s participating is “rigged” — has reached a fever pitch in this cycle.Karen Yourish (The New York Times)

"But in the 2024 cycle, the falsehoods have been baked in since #Trump announced his candidacy, almost two years before Election Day.
They show no signs of subsiding."

"Trump’s refusal to accept the results of the 2020 election had historic consequences. The so-called #BigLie — Trump’s false claim that the election was stolen from him — led to the #Jan6 2021 #insurrection...
He has never given up that framing, which no evidence supports, even well after the end of his presidency. And as he seeks to return to the White House, the same claim has become the backbone of his campaign"

"Trump is laying the groundwork for a repeat of the 2020 post-election debacle.
He has managed to get a swath of the country to believe that Biden can’t be reelected without cheating. It follows, at least in the minds of Trump and his supporters, that if he doesn’t win in November, the election would have been unfair and its result — Biden’s reelection — illegitimate."

![Text from article:
Trump’s campaign of pervasive lying succeeded in eroding public confidence in an election in which there was no evidence of significant fraud.
Now Trump has embarked on a no-holds-barred attempt to regain the White House — a post he desperately needs to quash federal criminal charges against him, both in the election conspiracy case and in a second prosecution related to his handling of classified information. But he’s back on the campaign trail backed by nearly 70 percent of Republicans who are convinced Biden should not have entered the White House in the first place.
Would that were the end of it.

"For more than two months after Election Day, [Trump] spread the #lie that he had won when it was obvious to any fair-minded person that his claims were false. He still repeats this falsehood.
...charged #Trump with having conspired to retain power and overturn the legitimate results of the 2020 #election by unleashing attacks on Congress on #Jan6 2021"
