CNN's Daniel Dale Corrects Trump's False Claims About Pennsylvania Ballots

Trump's False Claims

On November 10, 2020, President Donald Trump made a number of false claims about the presidential election in Pennsylvania. He claimed that there were "illegal votes" and that the election was "rigged" against him. He also claimed that he had won the state by a "lot."

Dale's Corrections

CNN's Daniel Dale quickly corrected Trump's false claims. He pointed out that there is no evidence of widespread voter fraud in Pennsylvania. He also noted that Trump lost the state by over 80,000 votes.

Why Trump's Claims Are False

There are several reasons why Trump's claims about Pennsylvania are false. First, there is no evidence of widespread voter fraud. A study by the Brennan Center for Justice found that there were only 31 credible instances of voter fraud out of over 250 million votes cast in the 2016 election. Second, Trump lost the state by a significant margin. He received 48.8% of the vote, while Biden received 50.0%. Third, there is no evidence that the election was "rigged" against Trump. The election was conducted fairly and there is no evidence of any irregularities.

The Importance of Fact-Checking

It is important to fact-check claims made by politicians, especially during an election. False claims can mislead voters and undermine the integrity of the electoral process.

Conclusion

CNN's Daniel Dale has done an important service by correcting Trump's false claims about the Pennsylvania election. His work helps to ensure that voters have the information they need to make informed decisions about the candidates and the issues.
