Dozens of lawsuits by former President Trump’s campaign challenging the legitimacy of the 2020 election failed, and Attorney General William Barr found no evidence of fraud affecting the outcome of an election widely called the “most secure in history.” Yet, Trump’s ongoing disinformation about a “stolen election” continues to undermine Americans’ faith in our democratic process and risk the safety of the more than 10,000 state and local election officials who make our system work.
Explore our work to fight back against false claims about our elections.
WATCH: Our new “Truthtellers” video series exposes the massive disinformation campaign about the 2020 election that former President Trump and his supporters continue to spread.
Each episode, narrated by Weston Wamp, millennial conservative, former Republican House candidate, and host of Issue One’s “Swamp Stories” podcast, sets the record straight for the many Americans unsure about the facts to this day. Each of the videos in the series examines different widespread false claims in a short two-minute format.
In the first video, titled “No Basis in Fact or Law,” Wamp explains the process by which Trump’s claims about a fraudulent, stolen election were properly and thoroughly investigated — and shown to have no merit.
Watch the entire Truthtellers series of videos.
