Washington DC [US], October 27 (ANI): United States President Donald Trump on Sunday (local time) called for an investigation by the Department of Justice (DOJ) into alleged election rigging during the 2020 presidential election, calling it the “biggest scandal in American history.”
The US president called for ending mail-in and early voting and advocated for requiring voter ID as potential measures to prevent election rigging. He also criticized California’s Proposition 50, which will redraw congressional districts.
“The 2020 Presidential Election, being Rigged and Stolen, is a far bigger SCANDAL. Look what happened to our Country when a Crooked Moron became our ‘President!’ We now know everything. I hope the DOJ pursues this with as much ‘gusto’ as befitting the biggest SCANDAL in American history! If not, it will happen again, including the upcoming Midterms,” President Trump posted on Truth Social, comparing the issue to the NBA gambling scandal.
The president further alleged that voting for California’s Proposition 50 is “totally dishonest,” claiming that millions of ballots are being “shipped” into the state. “No mail-in or ‘Early’ Voting, Yes to Voter ID! Watch how totally dishonest the California Prop Vote is! Millions of Ballots being ‘shipped.’ GET SMART REPUBLICANS, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!!!” his post read.
Proposition 50 in California would allow Democrats to replace maps drawn by an independent commission with new ones to be used for the upcoming midterm elections, redrawing congressional districts in the state. The plan could potentially flip as many as five GOP-held US House seats. Democrats have argued that their push is necessary to counter Republican-led gerrymandering in states such as Texas.
Former President Barack Obama has also backed the ballot initiative, with voting set to take place on November 4, while early voting has already begun. The DOJ will be sending election monitors to multiple California counties on voting day, stating they will “ensure transparency, ballot security, and compliance with federal law.”
Donald Trump, who previously served as the 45th US president, lost the 2020 election to Joe Biden before winning again in 2024. Over the years, Trump has repeatedly claimed that the 2020 elections were rigged, even suggesting that he has effectively served a continuous third term because he actually won that election. (ANI)
