President Donald Trump falsely claimed on Wednesday that there were more votes than people in Detroit.
“In Detroit, there are MUCH MORE VOTES THAN HUMANS. Nothing can be done to cure the giant scam. I win Michigan!” Trump tweeted and later claimed that the number of votes in Michigan was greater than the number of people who voted, although it is not clear what the president was talking about.
There was no evidence of widespread fraud and NBC News projected that Joe Biden would be the winner of Michigan.
Trump’s claim about Detroit is demonstrably false. There are 670,000 people living in Detroit, according to the most recent estimate by the U.S. Census Bureau, and the city says there are 250,138 ballots.
Both of his tweets about Detroit and Michigan were branded misleading by Twitter.
The state’s largest province, Wayne, which includes Detroit, unanimously certified its election results after an initial deadlock in the party next door. State fans plan to meet next week to confirm the results of the state.
The tweets come amid a broader effort by the president and his allies to discredit the 2020 election results.
On Wednesday, the campaign announced that it would spend $ 3 million to pay for a partial storytelling effort in Wisconsin, without proving that there was widespread voter fraud and illegal election administration.
In Pennsylvania, a federal judge on Wednesday said he was canceling a hearing scheduled for Thursday, indicating he would likely dismiss the president’s case, which former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani said Tuesday as a lawyer in the federal court bring back. time in decades.
In general, the president and his allies have yet to prove a single case of voter fraud in court. So far, at least 16 charges have been dismissed, dismissed, settled or withdrawn – half in the past five days.
Judges in Michigan in particular have found fault with Trump and his allies’ testimony in similar cases.
Earlier this month, a Michigan judge declared allegations of widespread fraud alleged by a nonprofit organization to be ‘mere speculation’.
A second judge dismisses the Trump campaign’s claims as criticism and criticizes the lawsuit for lack of evidence; the campaign offered an affidavit from a voter claiming what another voter had heard, something the court called ‘hearsay within hearsay’, and a post-it note, which the court said was “vague” ‘and’ was also hearsay ‘.
