WASHINGTON: Right up to Election Day, Donald Trump and his backers were issuing unfounded warnings of voter fraud. But once his decisive victory took shape, the flood of misinformation slowed to a trickle.
Experts said the shift points to what opponents have long argued was Trump´s preemptive deployment of fraud claims in case he lost, setting the stage for him to challenge the results as he did in the 2020 election.
A sharp example came toward the end of voting on Tuesday, when officials in the largest city of must-win Pennsylvania had to quickly deny Trump´s unfounded claim that police were responding to “massive cheating” in Philadelphia. Those were the latest doubts the ex-TV star raised about election fraud.
