EXCLUSIVE From Rep. Troy Nehls: Was Trump Crazy To Predict Fraud? No — He Had History On His Side

The Democrat’s sham January 6 Committee is trying to make the case that President Trump was guilty of inciting a riot because he claimed in April of 2020 (almost 7 months before the election) that the massive Democrat push for absentee voting would inevitably result in massive election fraud. But Trump had history on his side.

If you look at the actual history of voting fraud in America, you’d be crazy not to suspect that there would be large-scale fraud in the 2020 election due to the historically unprecedented expansion of absentee voting. Anyone familiar with the history of voter fraud could have predicted 20 years before the election that such would be the inevitable result.

Democrat fraud using absentee voting actually began in the 1864 presidential election. According to historian Tracy Campbell in his Deliver the Vote (2005), Republicans discovered “countless false names in an investigation of the New York City registry roles, and the absentee soldier vote was a vulnerable point of corruption. Thousands of forged registration papers had been filed for soldiers, officers’ certificates had been forged, and numerous sick, disabled, and dead soldiers had been illegally registered.” All courtesy of the Democrat political machine. Lincoln had to send in 6000 troops to watch over the election.

Absentee voting has been a known problem ever since. As Campbell concludes, after looking at the history of voter fraud, “In terms of effectiveness, absentee ballots remain the easiest way of buying votes in advance, or swinging them after the results are in, whichever way works.”

Unfortunately, absentee voting grew far more prevalent as the 20th century drew to a close and the 21st began. Long before 2020, this uptick in the popularity of absentee voting caused grave concerns for those worried about election integrity.
