DISINFO: Democracy in the US has breathed its last

SUMMARY

In the US, any attempts to claim that the 2020 elections were stolen are suppressed.

Therefore, it is very unlikely that the Republicans will be able to pass their changes in the electoral system. The Supreme Court will not help them here, because it did not support Trump before. In fact, the US has lost the last attempt to prove that it is a democratic state. Most likely, in the long run, all that is on the horizon seem to be very pessimistic. Democracy in the United States has breathed its last. Now, we can only talk about another America that has nothing to do with democracy.

RESPONSE

Recurring disinformation related to the 2020 US presidential elections, questioning the legitimacy of democracy and American institutions and, in this case, to favour Donald Trump by framing him as the victim of a conspiracy.

The US presidential election was lawfully conducted, tallied and certified by each of the 50 states in a democratic way. There has been no verifiable evidence brought forward that would indicate fraud, misconduct or improper administration at a level that would overturn any state’s results, let alone the several it would take to change the result.

While Donald Trump has baselessly argued that there was widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election, his Department of Justice has said that there exists no evidence for such claims. The Department of Homeland Security similarly rejected claims that the election was infiltrated by foreign governments.

Allegations of electoral fraud have been dismissed more than 60 times by different US courts and judges, both Republican and Democrats, due to lack of any significant evidence, including the Supreme Court on two occasions.

There have been extensive investigations about possible fraud which have led to the conclusion that the November 3rd elections were “the most secure election in the history of the United States” and “there is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised”.

Read similar cases claiming that US elections were fraudulent; or that the Democratic party came to power by falsifying the election results; or that there is massive evidence of electoral fraud in the 2020 US presidential elections; or that Moscow did not interfere in any of the elections in America; or that the US is heading towards a civil war.
