Donald Trump has filed a lawsuit against pollster J. Ann Selzer, alleging that a poll conducted by Selzer showing Vice President Kamala Harris ahead of Trump in Iowa was an attempt to influence the election.
President-elect Donald Trump has filed a lawsuit against pollster J. Ann Selzer due to her poll in the days before the election, which absurdly showed him trailing Vice President Kamala Harris by three points in Iowa. Trump attorneys Edward Paltzik and Alan Ostergren filed the 29-page lawsuit Monday in the Iowa District Court for Polk County, seeking a jury trial. They allege that the defendants, including Selzer, the media outlet that sponsored the poll, its parent company Gannett Co., Inc.
, and Tribune Company, engaged in election interference to benefit Harris. Fox News conducted the poll October 28-31 and published it November 2, days before the election, and it was an extreme outlier. It found Harris with a 47 percent to 44 percent edge on Trump in the former swing state, which he won comfortably in 2016 and 2020. Trump’s lawsuit argues that Selzer, the other defendants, and their cohorts in the Democrat Party hoped that the Harris Poll would create a false narrative of inevitability for Harris in the final week of the 2024 Presidential Election. Moreover, because of Selzer’s following and platform, she had a significant and impactful opportunity to deceive voters, the attorneys contend. The lawsuit is being brought under the Iowa Consumer Fraud Act
