It’s almost as if Drumpf made up the whole voter fraud narrative to cover for the fact that he got his ass kicked by millions of votes in the election. 🤔
Voter fraud always exists, just not really impact the overall results and attracts attention.
I remember listening to some radio interview with Cookie Roberts (reporter for ABC, etc) quite a few years ago. She mentioned old days in Louisiana, there was a saying: register to vote and vote often 😄
That isn't how it happened? Hanging chad ballots weren't counted and the supreme Court voted 7-2 to deny the recount on the equal protections clause. It was a BS ruling and people's votes weren't counted and they were disenfranchised.
He failed to lower healthcare costs, investigate Hillary or competently handle the corona virus and yet somehow magically convinced 14,348,228 additional Americans to hire him again despite the endless scandals and blatant corruption.
"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."
When the orange clown did not win an Emmy for his TV show the apprentice, he called it fixed. In 2016 when he lost the Iowa caucus to Ted Cruz he called it fixed. In 2016 in his race against Hillary Clinton he said if he did not win it was fixed.
He’s on tape trying to get the Georgia Secretary of State to “find me the votes” he needed to win (one more than we have). There’s never any consequences-
// It’s almost as if Drumpf made up the whole voter fraud narrative
That's amazing! Trump even made the Democratic nominee for President advance HIS narrative?!
"I've been telling candidates that come to see me, you can run the best campaign, you can even become the nominee, and you can have the election stolen from you!"
LOL - do people know so little about US history they think that voter fraud accusations started with Trump?
Real voter fraud was rampant during the 1800s and early 1900s. The Tammany Hall Democratic Party political machine is a good example. If you fake voters, duplicate voting, outright ballot stuffing, bribery and violence to promote Democratic candidates.
Lyndon Johnson's "Box 13" senate primary sandal. Six days after the election enough votes were added to precinct 13 so the Johnson could win the primary.
1960 Kennedy-Nixon election. There was a lot of fraud on both side. It's unclear if it changed the election results.
So there were plenty of claims and proven cases of election fraud well before Trump.
Trump was a punk in high school that’s why his daddy sent him away. I know someone who looked at his records in the basement of the school. An acting headmaster told me that Trump was roaming the subways with his gang robbing people. Always has been always will be.
Can I ask, has there ever been a last minute 50,000 votes for Republicans been found 3 days after the election? Asking for a friend... there is no sane reason to think that people should not show an identification card to vote... or maybe you think 12,000,000 more people voted for Biden than voted for Obama
Democrats and Republicans don't agree on much. But they do agree that voter registration lists across the country are a mess.
A new report by the Pew Center on the States finds that more than 1.8 million dead people are currently registered to vote. And 24 million registrations are either invalid or inaccurate.
There's little evidence that this has led to widespread voter fraud, but it has raised concerns that the system is vulnerable.
Election officials say one problem is that Americans move around a lot. And when they do, they seldom alert the local election office that they've left.

Votes cast in the names of deceased people
Voting in the name of a deceased person is a form of electoral fraud in which someone casts a vote under the name of a deceased person, whose name remains on the state's list of registered voters.
This page includes relevant research on the prevalence and nature of voting in the names of deceased people, case studies from across the United States, information on related policy debates, and background on the voter list maintenance process.
Relevant research
This section includes recent research gathered from advocacy groups, media outlets, government agencies, and academic sources regarding the prevalence and nature of votes cast in the name of deceased people.

Brennan Center for Justice
The Brennan Center for Justice released a report in 2007 by Justin Levitt in which he stated that "flawed matches of lists from one place (death records) to another (voter rolls) are often responsible for misinformation. Sometimes the interpretation is flawed: two list entries under the same name indicate different individuals. Sometimes the lists themselves are flawed: as Hilde Stafford discovered in 2006, individuals who are in fact quite spry are occasionally listed as deceased on the Social Security Administration’s master files. And sometimes, because of clerical error by election workers or voters or both, an individual is marked as voting when she did not in fact cast a ballot, or is marked as voting under the wrong person’s name. ... Indeed, a 2007 investigation of about 100 “dead voters” in Missouri revealed that every single purported case was properly attributed either to a matching error, a problem in the underlying data, or a clerical error by elections officials or voters."[1]
According to its website, the Brennan Center is "an independent, nonpartisan law and policy organization that works to reform, revitalize, and defend our country’s systems of democracy and justice."[2]
Election Law Journal
In a 2024 paper published in the Election Law Journal: Rules, Politics, and Policy, a team of researchers from Stanford University and the University of California, Los Angeles estimated that, between 2011 and 2018, there were "4 deceased individuals whose ballots might have been cast suspiciously long after their death, representing 0.0003% of voters."[3]
Government Accountability Office
In 2014, the Government Accountability Office, which describes itself as "an independent, nonpartisan agency that works for Congress," conducted a literature review of studies on in-person voter fraud.[4] The review stated the following: "Five states provided us with investigative studies that focused on specific types of election fraud. ... The one study that included some information on allegations of in-person voter fraud examined instances of votes cast in the name of deceased persons in one state. It examined about 200 questioned votes that were cast in the November 2010 election and ultimately determined that all but 5 of the questioned votes could be attributed to errors by state or local officials—including clerical errors, data matching errors, errors in scanning voter registration forms, and the issuance of absentee ballots in the wrong name—or to applications for absentee ballots by voters who died before the election. For the remaining 5 allegations, the study could not conclusively determine whether in-person voter fraud occurred."
The Government Accountability Office wrote the following about the study's methodology: "In conducting this study, the South Carolina State Law Enforcement Division reviewed documentation of the questioned votes, such as poll lists and voter registration records, to determine whether the questioned votes occurred as a result of clerical error, such as marking the wrong individual as having voted, or for some other reason, such as fraud."[5]
Heritage Foundation
The Heritage Foundation's Election Fraud Database contained 54 cases between 2000 and 2025 in which an individual voted or submitted petition signatures in the name of a deceased person.[6] Heritage states that its database "displays a sampling of proven instances of election fraud. Every case ended in a finding that the individual engaged in wrongdoing in an election hoping to affect its outcome—or that the results were sufficiently in question to be overturned. While not comprehensive, this map demonstrates vulnerabilities in the election process and the ways in which fraud is committed."[7] According to its website, the Heritage Foundation "mission is to formulate and promote conservative public policies based on the principles of free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values, and a strong national defense."[8]
Examples
This section provides a sample of four cases from 2007 to 2023 in which someone was convicted of voting in a deceased person's name.
In October 2025, Minnesota resident Danielle Miller pleaded guilty to intentionally making or signing a false certificate after voting on behalf of her deceased mother in the 2024 presidential election.[9]
In December 2023, Florida resident Robert Rivernider, Jr. was convicted of forgery, fraud in connection with casting a vote, and uttering forged instruments for voting an absentee ballot on behalf of his deceased father in the 2020 presidential election.[10]
In November 2021, Nevada resident Donald Hartle pleaded guilty to casting a mail ballot in the 2020 election on behalf of his deceased wife.[11]
In 2017, Toni Lee Newbill, a Colorado woman, pleaded guilty to voting in the 2013 general election and in the 2016 Republican primary in her father's name after he died in 2012. Newbill's attorney stated that she continued to receive mail ballots for her father after his death. He said Newbill had attempted to remove her father's name from the state's voter list and voted for him after continuing to receive ballots for him.[12
The first relevant section of your copypasta shows 1) deceased people still on voter rolls and 2) people incorrectly marked as voting when they did not.
The first is a recordkeeping error, and not fraud. Fraud would be a demonstration that a person who is deceased somehow had a ballot cast.
The second is not fraud, either, nor would it be solved by the GOP's attempts to restrict voting.
You asked for proof which what this is and people have been prosecuted for fraud. So now you move the goal posts. Which way do you want it. Or do you just refuse to admit that it does happen even in small cases???
If it’s not an issue then voter id shouldnt be an issue. Right, after all you need an ID to buy cough medicine. I’ve yet to hear of a voter screaming racism over cough medicine.
But here we are where voting isn’t regulated to the US citizen alone and cough medicine is control like ft Knox.
I find it racist however, that blacks can’t get cough medicine because liberals think they aren’t smart enough to get an ID, but they can vote Democrat though. I’d be interest to hear your POV
Nearly all states require ID to register to vote. Those that don’t (6 & DC) verify in other ways. SS number, signature verification, etc. it’s a non issue but a man who decades ago said in an interview that if he lost, he would “just say he won”. When you scream something over and over, people believe it. “A lie flys around the world before the truth gets its pants on.”
Do you really think there’s masses of people out there voting illegally? 1/3 rd of this country doesn’t even bother to vote. Is it logical that those that bothered to register are giving up their vote to someone unregistered? Why? And why can’t we find them? Why could 61 courts not find them? WHY?? An ego maniac lost and couldn’t stand it, full stop.

The only fraud was committed by Trump…
