What about supposed details of some of the alleged grand schemes of voter fraud?
Former Trump adviser Peter Navarro has compiled a number of these stolen election claims. Reporters have published rebuttals and counterarguments to the initial Navarro report. This narrative is hard to neutralize in part because it’s so voluminous.
The “firehose of falsehood”—the intentional deluge of made-up clickbait meant to sow distrust and disorient people—has produced so many claims.
The Navarro report, for example, alleges a laundry list of outright voter fraud, which would constitute huge crimes if true. However, these allegations appear imaginary. Here’s an example: in his report, Navarro alleges, “destruction of legally cast real ballots” in Arizona. He cites one legal brief filed by Trump conspiracy theorist Sidney Powell in Arizona.
This case was dismissed on Dec. 9, 2020 (before the publication of the Navarro report). The judge wrote of the brief that its, “allegations are sorely wanting of relevant or reliable evidence” and “[p]laintiffs failed to provide the Court with factual support for their extraordinary claims." This fate has been routine for these types of grand allegations.
