Summary

Donald Trump and allies, including Elon Musk, are pushing baseless claims of election fraud, portraying Democrats as intent on “stealing” the election.

Trump has accused Democrats of cheating without evidence, repeating tactics from 2020 to undermine trust in the electoral process. Musk, who owns the social media platform X and has supported Trump financially, has amplified these narratives to millions, leading to concern among election experts.

Experts warn that this misinformation could spur violence, increase distrust in voting, and endanger election workers. The spread of these claims threatens long-term harm to democratic institutions by normalizing election-related conspiracy theories.
