The Impact of False Claims on Election Integrity

Since the 2020 presidential election, false claims of widespread voter fraud have significantly impacted public perception of election integrity in the U.S. Despite over 50 lawsuits filed by former President Trump and his allies being dismissed due to lack of evidence, the narrative of a 'stolen election' persists. This rhetoric has fueled distrust in the voting process, contributing to events like the Capitol attack on January 6th and prompting changes to voting rules in several states. These claims create a climate of fear and paranoia, obscuring the fact that most Americans will vote without encountering significant issues.
