The Left’s Recent Pattern of Questioning and Challenging Election Results
The political Left has a consistent history of questioning and challenging election results for more than two decades.
- Congressional Democrats have formally challenged the results of EVERY Republican presidential victory for the past 23 years.
- They objected to certifying the electoral votes for the presidential elections in 2000, 2004, and 2016.
- They claimed irregularities and issues in various states were significant enough to warrant a more thorough investigation prior to declaring a winner.
- They said there were ample grounds to challenge the electors from Ohio as being unlawfully appointed because of violations of state law, voting machine irregularities, and denial of access to election observers in the election process.
While painting the conservative Right as ‘election deniers,’ the Left regularly denies the validity of election results, as history clearly shows.
- Hillary Clinton: “You can run the best campaign, you can even become the nominee, and you can HAVE THE ELECTION STOLEN FROM YOU.”
- Rep. Nancy Pelosi: “Our election was hijacked. There is no question. Congress has a duty to protect our democracy and follow the facts.”
- Then-Sen. Kamala Harris: “We brought in folks who before our eyes hacked election machines.”
- Former President Barack Obama: “That's why we need paper trails on these new electronic machines so that you actually have something that you can hang on to after you punch that letter, make sure that it hasn't been hacked into.”
- Sen. Amy Klobuchar: “I'm very concerned that you could have a hack that finally went through.”
- Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee: “Researchers have repeatedly demonstrated that ballot recording machines and other voting systems are susceptible to tampering.”
- Sen. Bernie Sanders: “I agree with tens of millions of Americans who are very worried that when they cast the ballot on an electronic voting machine, that there is no paper trail to record that vote.
- Stacey Abrams: “We received more than 50,000 phone calls of people who were denied the right to vote. I am complicit if I say that that system is fair.”
