Presently facing felony charges for his endeavors to overturn the election results, the former president has embarked on a campaign to disseminate distortions, misinformation, and unfounded conspiracy theories across various media outlets and his social media platform. This concerted effort appears to be part of a broader strategy to erode public trust in the American electoral process, all while aiming for a potential return to the White House in the upcoming 2024 election. Alarming data from recent polls by The Big Big News-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research illustrates that a significant portion of Republicans, approximately 57%, now hold the belief that President Joe Biden’s victory was not attained through legitimate means. In light of these circumstances, it is essential to examine the factual reality surrounding Trump’s defeat in the preceding presidential election. Joe Biden’s victory over Trump in 2020 was marked by a considerable margin. He secured 306 Electoral College votes, decisively outweighing Trump’s 232 votes. Moreover, Biden garnered over 7 million more popular votes than his opponent. Given that the Electoral College ultimately determines the presidential outcome, the key battleground states held sway over the election results. Several of these states conducted rigorous recounts and thorough reviews of the electoral data, all of which upheld Biden’s triumph. Arizona, for instance, undertook a comprehensive six-month review of ballots in its largest county, Maricopa. The review, initiated by Republican state legislators, not only reaffirmed Biden’s victory but also identified an additional 306 votes in his favor, beyond the officially certified statewide margin of 10,457. Georgia, where Trump is currently facing indictment for his attempts to subvert the election, underwent three statewide counts of the ballots under the leadership of both a Republican governor and secretary of state. The final recount reaffirmed Biden’s win by narrowing his margin from nearly 13,000 votes to approximately 12,000. In Michigan, Republican state senators conducted a prolonged investigation that concluded there was no widespread or systematic fraud in the state’s electoral process. Biden secured victory by a margin of nearly 155,000 votes, or 2.8 percentage points. Nevada’s then-secretary of state, Republican Barbara Cegavske, and her office meticulously reviewed a multitude of allegations pertaining to possible voter fraud. These allegations, brought forward by the Nevada Republican Party, were largely based on incomplete information and a misunderstanding of the state’s voting procedures. Ultimately, the review found minimal instances warranting further investigation, reaffirming Biden’s triumph by a margin of 33,596 votes, or 2.4 percentage points. Pennsylvania’s certified results reflected an 80,555-vote lead for Biden over Trump, equivalent to 1.2 percentage points. Multiple attempts to overturn the election in Pennsylvania’s courts were unsuccessful, and no substantial concerns about widespread fraud were raised by any authoritative figures within the state. Wisconsin, which underwent a recount, saw Biden’s victory margin increase by 87 votes, resulting in a 20,682-vote lead or 0.6 percentage points. An independent audit following the election recommended improvements for future elections but did not uncover evidence of widespread voter fraud. A separate review initiated by a Republican Assembly speaker similarly found no indication of election fraud. The notion of significant voter fraud also collapses when analyzed from a broader perspective. An exhaustive investigation by the Associated Press (AP) in 2021 confirmed fewer than 475 instances of confirmed voter fraud across six pivotal battleground states. This number is far from sufficient to sway the presidential election’s outcome. Moreover, these instances of fraud were predominantly committed by individuals acting alone and were promptly detected before the fraudulent ballots were counted. Claims related to voting machines, including allegations that they were manufactured in Venezuela or designed to manipulate votes, have been widely discredited. Neither these claims nor others, such as the assertion that more votes were counted than there were registered voters, have been substantiated. Trump’s own administration, including the federal Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and then-Attorney General William Barr, repeatedly affirmed the absence of widespread fraud. Furthermore, the courts, both state and federal, meticulously addressed Trump’s legal challenges and consistently rejected them. In conclusion, the clamor of falsehoods emanating from Donald Trump regarding the 2020 election has intensified. However, an in-depth examination of the factual basis reveals that Biden’s victory was legitimate and confirmed through rigorous reviews, recounts, and legal processes. The widespread claims of voter fraud are devoid of substantial evidence and have been refuted by both independent investigations and Trump’s own administration. As the United States strives to uphold its democratic principles, an accurate understanding of the election’s integrity remains paramount.
