President Donald Trump has called on the federal government to "nationalize the voting" across the United States, baselessly claiming that major cities in swing states are conducting fraudulent elections. But one expert who Trump once hired to find proof of voter fraud says it's almost nonexistent.
In a Wednesday interview on CNN, data specialist Ken Block said Trump's rationale to have the federal government assume control of elections didn't hold water. He also said the Trump administration's recent raid of an election facility in Fulton County, Georgia harkened back to his prior work with the Trump 2020 campaign.
"The Trumpcampaign in 2020 hired me tolook for evidence of voterfraud. And they asked me toreview about 20 different claimsof voter fraud that came intothe campaign from everywherearound the world," Block said. "Apparently,every one of the 20 claims theyasked me to evaluate, I was ableto show that they were false.And we did find small amounts ofvoter fraud, but never did wefind enough voter fraud to havebeen able to change the outcomeof any of the swing stateelections in 2020."
Block went on to say that despite Trump's insistence that there was election fraud in Georgia in 2020, no evidence has ever surfaced proving him correct. He reminded viewers that some Trump associates – like former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani — were never able to substantiate any of their claims in court when asked to prove supposed fraud in the Peach State.
"We'vehad individuals do dataanalytics claiming to have foundfraud. And in legislativehearings, they were humiliatedwhen legislators asked questionsand were able to show that theanalyses were false," he said. "There'sbeen nothing but allegationsthat I've been able to see sofar, and nothing that's borneany fruit. I wonder when we'regoing to move on from this."
CNN host Boris Sanchez noted that in Block's new book, "Disproven," he recounted that he reported his findings debunking Trump's election fraud claims to then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows. Block said he was never able to confirm if Meadows actually told Trump that his claims were proven wrong by his own hired expert.
"I don't know if Meadowscommunicated my findings intothe Oval Office. A secondcompany was also hired at thesame time. Mine was to look forevidence of voter fraud. Theyhad the misfortune of going intothe oval office to communicatetheir findings directly," he said. "Andthose findings were that theycould not find any evidence ofvoter fraud."
