The former president has falsely accused Democrats of “cheating” despite stage-setting an effort to overturn his potential election loss in states like Georgia and Pennsylvania.
“They cheat so damn much,” Trump falsely claimed to supporters in the battleground state. The remarks were characteristically absurd. But they serve a purpose for the former president: to foster a sense of distrust about the integrity of the democratic process and make it easier for him to challenge it after the election, should he lose to Kamala Harris in November.
For example, in Georgia, pro-Trump members of the state elections board recently passed a rule requiring ballots be counted by hand, which even some Republicans say could gum up a process that, despite Trump’s claims to the contrary, was already secure. The move could “undermine voter confidence and burden election workers,” as Brad Raffensperger, Georgia’s Republican secretary of state, said of the rule after it was proposed this summer.
