List all the specific claims Trump and his proxys made about the 2020 election
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
You’re asking for the specific claims—so let’s lay out the main buckets and the concrete allegations Trump and his allies pushed about the 2020 election.
Major categories of claims
| Category | Core allegation | Typical states/contexts mentioned |
|---|---|---|
| Mail-in & drop-box fraud | Mass fraudulent or illegal mail ballots and insecure drop boxes | Nationwide, especially PA, GA, AZ, MI, WI |
| “Dead” / illegal voters | Large numbers of dead people, noncitizens, or out-of-state voters cast ballots | GA, PA, MI, NV |
| Ballot “dumps” & suitcases | Secret late-night ballot dumps or hidden “suitcases” of ballots flipped results | GA (State Farm Arena), MI, WI |
| Machine manipulation | Dominion and other systems switched Trump votes to Biden or were hacked | GA, MI, AZ, national |
| Poll watcher obstruction | GOP observers were blocked or kept too far away to see counting | PA (Philadelphia), MI (Detroit), GA |
| Illegal rule changes | States changed rules unconstitutionally (mail voting, deadlines, drop boxes) | PA, WI, MI, GA |
| Foreign interference plots | Foreign actors (often China, Venezuela, others) rigged or manipulated systems | National, tied to Dominion narrative |
Specific claims Trump and his proxies repeatedly made
1. Mail-in ballots and drop boxes
-
Claim: Mass fraud via mail-in voting. Trump said expanded mail-in voting made the election “rigged,” alleging millions of illegal or unverifiable ballots, especially in swing states.
-
Claim: Drop boxes enabled ballot stuffing. He and allies argued that unsecured drop boxes allowed organized ballot harvesting and stuffing, often framed as “Democrat-run cities” abusing them.
2. Dead voters, noncitizens, and “illegal” registrations
-
Claim: Thousands of dead people voted. Trump and surrogates claimed “thousands” of ballots were cast in the names of deceased voters in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Nevada.
-
Claim: Noncitizens and out-of-state voters swung states. They alleged large numbers of noncitizens and people who had moved out of state voted illegally, especially in Arizona, Nevada, and Georgia.
3. Suitcases, secret ballot “dumps,” and late-night counting
-
Claim: “Suitcases” of fake ballots in Georgia. Video from State Farm Arena in Atlanta was described as showing workers pulling “suitcases” or “boxes” of fraudulent ballots from under a table after observers left.
-
Claim: Massive late-night ballot dumps for Biden. Trump repeatedly claimed that in states like Michigan and Wisconsin, huge “ballot dumps” appeared in the middle of the night, all or mostly for Biden, proving fraud.
4. Voting machines and Dominion
-
Claim: Dominion machines switched votes from Trump to Biden. Trump, Sidney Powell, Rudy Giuliani and others alleged that Dominion and other systems systematically flipped Trump votes to Biden or deleted Trump votes.
-
Claim: Foreign-backed software and global conspiracy. Powell and others claimed a Venezuela–Cuba–China-linked plot using Dominion software and servers to rig results, sometimes invoking military or intelligence “evidence.”
5. Poll watcher access and “secret” counting
-
Claim: Republican observers were blocked. Trump said GOP poll watchers were kept far away or barred from rooms in Philadelphia, Detroit, Atlanta and elsewhere, implying illegal counting behind closed doors.
-
Claim: Ballots counted after observers were sent home. The Georgia “suitcase” narrative and similar stories in Michigan/Wisconsin were framed as counting continuing in secret after Republicans left.
6. Unconstitutional rule changes and “rigged” procedures
-
Claim: States illegally changed election laws. Trump and his lawyers argued that pandemic-era changes—expanded mail voting, drop boxes, deadline adjustments—were unconstitutional because they were done by officials or courts, not legislatures (especially in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin).
-
Claim: “Rigged” by Democrat officials and judges. He framed secretaries of state, local election boards, and courts as part of a coordinated effort to tilt rules toward Democrats.
7. Foreign interference and national “rigging”
-
Claim: Foreign governments interfered with systems in 2020. Trump suggested China and other nations tampered with machines or infrastructure, tying this to his broader “rigged” narrative, despite official findings to the contrary.
-
Claim: The election was “rigged” or “stolen” overall. Across speeches, interviews, and posts, he said the 2020 election was “rigged,” “stolen,” or “a fraud,” often without specifying mechanisms beyond the themes above—Reuters counted at least 107 such references in a recent six‑month span.
===================================================================
Short version: every major bucket of Trump’s 2020 claims was checked—and none of them held up as outcome‑changing fraud.
Big picture
-
No evidence of a “rigged” or stolen election. Federal agencies, state officials from both parties, and independent researchers all concluded there was no widespread fraud or manipulation that could have changed the presidential result.
-
More than 60 court cases failed. Judges—including many Republican appointees—dismissed or rejected virtually all lawsuits for lack of credible, admissible evidence or on procedural grounds.
-
Real fraud existed, but at tiny scale. Documented cases numbered in the hundreds across tens of millions of ballots—far below margins of victory in any swing state.
What the evidence actually showed, claim by claim
-
Mail‑in ballots & drop boxes: Audits, signature checks, and bipartisan reviews found no mass mail‑ballot fraud or organized “stuffing” via drop boxes in the contested states. Expanded mail voting worked largely as designed.
-
Dead voters / noncitizens / out‑of‑state voters: Investigations in places like Georgia, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Michigan found only small numbers of questionable registrations or votes, often due to clerical errors or edge cases—not thousands of illegal ballots.
-
“Suitcases” and late‑night ballot dumps (Georgia, MI, WI): The Georgia “suitcase” video was reviewed by state officials and the FBI; the containers were standard ballot boxes, and counting continued under lawful procedures with ballots that had already been checked in. Late‑night “dumps” were normal reporting of previously received, valid mail ballots.
-
Dominion and machine vote‑switching: Cybersecurity agencies said there was no indication voting systems deleted, lost, or changed votes; statistical and forensic analyses found no pattern consistent with machine manipulation. Dominion‑focused conspiracy claims were repeatedly debunked and never proven in court.
-
Poll watcher obstruction: Courts and state reviews found that, while some observers complained about distance or access, the legal requirements for observation were generally met and these disputes did not show illegal counting or systematic exclusion of one party’s watchers.
-
Unconstitutional rule changes (pandemic procedures): Some lawsuits argued that changes to mail‑ballot rules or deadlines violated state constitutions. Courts examined these claims and largely upheld the procedures or found plaintiffs lacked standing or filed too late; no court accepted that such changes invalidated enough votes to alter the outcome.
-
Foreign interference and hacking: U.S. intelligence and cybersecurity assessments reported no foreign actor altered technical aspects of voting—no hacked machines, no changed tallies. Foreign disinformation existed, but not vote‑changing system compromise.
Direct answer: the core narrative—that the 2020 election was stolen from Trump through large‑scale fraud, machine tampering, or illegal procedures—has been exhaustively investigated and consistently found false.

Trump is giving a speech tomorrow night which is expected to include his belief that the 2020 election was stolen from him.
In 5 1/2 years he has not produced a single piece of actual evidence for this.
Sadly, the media has almost never demanded that he do so.
trump has to create a manufactured crisis to expand and consolidate his power. along with help from congress and SCOTUS, he's making moves to disrupt the midterm elections and has no intention of leaving the white house when his term is over. remodeling the white house and changing DC by adding monuments to himself is solely for him alone. he claims there's no money for social programs while wasting billions on his private whims that deflect from his family's ongoing grift and scandals.
Trump is the fool who protests too much - way too much. He thinks the American people are sheep, which some of them are (his cult). If he lies so easily about his second election, he probably lied about his first, and also his "perfect" phone call asking Zelensky and Ukraine to bogusly investigate Biden. Trump depends on the loyalty of stupid people.

Trump plans prime-time speech on 2020 election allegations
The address follows a White House briefing on findings from the administration’s probes into the loss the president never accepted.
Cool. So if China interfered at all, it means Biden/Harris are traitors. They are controlled by Xi and the election was illegitimate and Biden was illegitimate President. Those are the rules Democrats established. (And we can even skip their endless obsession with a sexual relationship between Xi and Biden and Harris.)
Did Joe Biden win the 2020 election. If he did, why is Trump giving a major speech to the nation tomorrow night objecting to that fact?
When is enough enough in your mind?
Did Trump win the 2016 election?
If so, why was Hillary Clinton and every other democrat under the sun calling him an illegitimate President?
Spread your bullshit to someone else . 5 1/2 years - that is the length of time that Trump has now been claiming the 2020 election was stolen from him, usually a few times a week, and yet has not produced a single scrap of evidence. How fucking stupid are Trump voters? Why in gods name does this nation tolerate this?
On what day did Trump concede the election to Biden and on what day did he call Biden to congratulate him?
its been
You claim that the Ds predominantly called Trump illegitimate.
For first term, that is Bullshit.
For second term, given his attempt to steal the 2020 election it would be justified to argue that he never should have been allowed on the ballot.
funny how out of the last 3 elections that trump ran in, he won both that democrat administrations ran and lost the one his administration ran ...
Hillary Clinton formally conceded the election
And then....
Lol..Per chatgpt..
Yes. Many Democrats and some commentators did describe Donald Trump's 2016 election victory or presidency as "illegitimate," although the context and meaning varied.
Some examples include:
when did trump concede the 2020 election and when did he call Joe Biden to congratulate him?
it is 2,080 days and counting
Would a phone call followed by years of calling him illegitimate have made any difference whatsoever to you?
"Many" is not "predominantly".
Many Americans believe the Earth is less than 10,000 years old.
Many Americans still believe whatever Trump says.
"Many" is vague.
Thus:
Is correct.
Now if you want to claim that did you not mean to imply predominantly but rather were implying "some prominent" then that is an entirely different claim.
My guess would be he will be pushing to get the SAVE act over the finish line. Part of that will be by pushing the 2020 election was stolen. I don't think that will be a good way to get politicians to change their minds. IMO he should talk more about the growing sophistication and probability that the cheating taking place will grow exponentially if something is not done to keep up with bad actors. Most people seem to be for voter ID but some politicians are against it to the point of being dishonest as to what the save act will do. He needs those folks voters to make their wishes clear.
Rehashing the 2020 election is a waste of time if that is his goal.
Either way I won't be watching
Is Donald Trump an honest person or is he a chronic cheat?
Why would anyone give 5 seconds to his lies about the election, let alone 5 1/2 years?
Since I will not be watching you have to ask someone that will be watching. Maybe yourself?
hopefully, the major networks cut away at his first lie, if they even carry his speech at all ...
I'm pretty sure both the neo-nazi and the white supremacist network (CBS and FOX) will carry the maga fuhrer's speech ...
Can you post ANYTHING that backs up your claim?
I know...rhetorical question but it had to be asked.
