The 2020 Presidential Election has made Joe Biden Presidential elect

With the results favouring Joe Biden, Republican nominee Donald trump responded, he filed multiple million-dollar lawsuits in battleground states for alleged voter fraud.

States such as Pennsylvania and Georgia these two states had been heavily shifted to Democratic victories, a surprise as they were Republican states in Trump’s 2016 election win.

Mail-In Ballots:

Trump’s campaign is litigating the usage of mail-in ballots for potential risk to tampering. This conveniently takes away Biden’s main voting percentage, as the Republican campaign spoke against the usage of mail-in ballots and told supporters not to vote by mail.

Experts say that mail-in ballots pose no threat to any sort of fraud in the election.

“Alleging this large-scale voter fraud, which there isn’t any evidence of it, is just wasting everyone’s time. It’s threatening the security of the United States.” Said Melissa Haussman, Professor at Carleton University.

Wayne Petrozzi, Professor at Ryerson University said “Americans have been using them (mail-in ballots) for decades, the United States has the most soldiers deployed across the world then any other country, how do you think they vote?”

Voter Fraud evidence?

Stephen Newman, Professor at York University described the alleged voter fraud accusations, “A democracy cannot long survive if citizens come to believe that elections are rigged and that the supporters of the opposing party are ‘the enemy’

“I can tell you that the Trump campaign’s allegations of voter fraud are false.  I say this with confidence because, so far at any rate, they have been unable to produce any credible evidence of fraud.”

Currently no evidence of voter fraud to be proven accurate. Time will continuously count down until Donald Trump’s last day as President of the United States, on Jan 20.
