Report: “No evidence” of postal worker’s voter fraud claims cited by Trump – By Rebecca Falconer (Axios) / Mar 17 2021
There is “no evidence” to support a Pennsylvania U.S. Postal Service worker’s claims highlighted by leading Republicans of mail-in ballot fraud, the inspector general has found, per the Washington Post.
Why it matters: Letter carrier Richard Hopkins’ baseless claims that ineligible mail-in ballots were being illegally backdated formed part of unsuccessful efforts by former President Trump and his allies to delegitimize President Biden’s election Pa. win.
- The Trump campaign alerted Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) to Hopkins’ unfounded allegations in November. Graham then wrote a letter demanding a federal investigation into the state’s election results, WashPost notes.
