In a recent claim made on social media, former President Trump suggested that 20% of mail-in ballots from the 2020 election in Pennsylvania were fraudulent. Despite a lack of evidence supporting this statement, Trump called for an investigation by the Attorney General and FBI, implying that the election was compromised. This mirrors ongoing narratives pushed by Trump and his allies, who have consistently claimed that mail-in voting led to widespread fraud, particularly in key swing states.
During an April interview with Tucker Carlson, Justin Haskins from the Heartland Institute premised that one in five mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania were indeed fraudulent, asserting that these numbers were derived from a poll where those who purportedly committed fraud admitted to it. This claim, however, remains unfounded and contradicts numerous studies and investigations that have thoroughly examined voting integrity issues, further exemplifying the ongoing debate around mail-in voting and its implications on election outcomes.
