The claim that the 2020 election was fraudulent is contradicted by numerous authoritative sources, including federal agencies, courts, state officials, and a bipartisan review, which found no widespread fraud that could have changed the outcome.
What was said
… Well, no. Actually, when states obstruct inquiry into the results, that's what actually makes it harder to convince the public to uh, it wasn't it wasn't President Trump pressuring and pressuring and pressuring that made me question elections. First of all, the results made me question elections because they were bullshit in 2020, but more than that, the obstruction of the state of Colorado specifically and the way that they acted, and the way that they, uhm, you know, they demonized us, they investigated us for asking questions, and they, you know, got to the point where, you know, …
Badlands Media · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Contradicts. Federal, state and local election officials stated in a joint 2020 statement that there was no evidence any voting system deleted, lost, changed, or compromised votes, and the agencies concluded there was no widespread voter fraud.[1][2]
Contradicts. State and federal judges dismissed more than 50 lawsuits challenging the election, several citing lack of evidence of fraudulently cast votes.[2][5]
Contradicts. Investigations in Michigan, Nevada, and Wisconsin found no widespread or systematic fraud, and an AP investigation found fewer than 475 confirmed fraud instances across six battleground states, far too few to change the outcome.[3][6]
Contradicts. A bipartisan review by former Republican officials examined every fraud claim and concluded Joe Biden was the choice of a majority of electors, with no fraud altering the result.[4]
Contradicts. PolitiFact and PBS fact-checks state that the 2020 election was not stolen, was secure, and that when fraud occurred it was isolated and did not change the results.[7]
Context. The speaker's claim is a broad, sweeping assertion about the 2020 election's results; the posted passage is the claimant's own words and cannot serve as evidence. The source record shows only isolated errors, such as a Dominion human-error miscount in Georgia quickly corrected, which does not reverse the broad finding.[5][8]
