Five takeaways from Trump’s big elections speech

President Trump delivered an address to the nation on Thursday evening in which he sought to paint the state of U.S. election security as indefensible. 

Numerous commentators noted that, even if one took Trump’s Thursday’s claims at face value, they did not back up the most dramatic concept often pushed by him and his most committed supporters — that direct fraud had “flipped” votes away from him, or that tranches of fake votes had been cast for Biden.

To his critics, it’s just another step on the road by which Trump tries to cast doubt on past elections he lost —  or future ones his party might lose.
