Of course, liberal-biased FactCheck.org immediately put out an article saying there is no evidence to support President Trump’s claim about cheating:
Late in the afternoon on Election Day, former President Donald Trump posted to social media an unsupported claim about “massive CHEATING” in Philadelphia, which he claimed had drawn the attention of law enforcement.
The Philadelphia Police Department, the Philadelphia district attorney, a Republican city commissioner and the Pennsylvania Department of State all refuted the claim.
“A lot of talk about massive CHEATING in Philadelphia. Law Enforcement coming!!!” Trump posted on Truth Social at 4:39 p.m. on Election Day.
ADVERTISEMENTWe reached out to the Trump campaign for information about where the alleged cheating was occurring and what law enforcement was responding, but we did not receive a response.
The Philadelphia Police Department told CNN it was not aware of any election-related issues that had prompted a law enforcement response.
Responding to Trump’s post, Philadelphia City Commissioner Seth Bluestein, a Republican, posted on X, “There is absolutely no truth to this allegation.”
“It is yet another example of disinformation,” wrote Bluestein, who is also a member of the Bipartisan Policy Center’s task force on elections. “Voting in Philadelphia has been safe and secure.”
CBS Philadelphia is similarly reporting:
ormer President Donald Trump’s claim that “massive CHEATING” is happening in Philadelphia on Election Day is false, officials said.
Trump made the claim on Truth Social just after 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. He didn’t provide any evidence for his claim.
Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner said in a statement that there’s no “factual basis” to Trump’s claim.
“The only talk about massive cheating has come from one of the candidates, Donald J. Trump,” Krasner said in a statement. “There is no factual basis whatsoever within law enforcement to support this wild allegation. We have invited complaints and allegations of improprieties all day. If Donald J. Trump has any facts to support his wild allegations, we want them now. Right now. We are not holding our breath.”
City Commissioner Seth Bluestein echoed the remarks made by Krasner on X, formerly known as Twitter, saying the claim has “absolutely no truth.”
ADVERTISEMENT“We have been in regular contact with the RNC,” Bluestein wrote on X. “We have been responsive to every report of irregularities at the polls to ensure Philadelphians can vote safely and securely.”
But, we’ll just have to wait and see what the night brings.
