Can I trust the election process?

(What about the 2020 election?)

There is no evidence that the 2020 elections was stolen.

There is no evidence to back up the claim that the 2020 presidential election was stolen or “rigged.” There are many safeguards in place and every Secretary of State is committed to “election integrity.”

In 2023, the Trump Campaign hired Ken Block, an expert on voter data, to find voter fraud in the 2020 election. In his January 2, 2024 in “The Hill”, Block stated that “the 2020 elections was not stolen. There was no evidence of voter fraud sufficient to change the outcome of that election.”
