Trump shares poll watcher's testimony as ‘proof’ of 2020 irregularities on Christmas Day

WASHINGTON, DC: On Christmas Day, President Donald Trump took to social media to reiterate his long-standing grievances regarding the 2020 election results. The President utilized his Truth Social platform to share video testimony, which he suggests serves as evidence of significant voter fraud during the previous presidential cycle.

This latest post aligns with his ongoing narrative that the victory of Joe Biden was the result of systemic irregularities.

Trump shares evidence of alleged voter misconduct

The central piece of President Trump's Christmas message was a video featuring the testimony of a poll watcher who described witnessing suspicious patterns during the ballot-counting process. 

In the footage, the individual expressed deep skepticism over the composition of the ballots they observed, specifically noting a lack of 'down-ballot' selections. 

The poll watcher stated, "I just thought it was strange that only Biden's name was selected. No down Ballot. And I watched multiples, I don't know how many I watched and not one of them was for Trump."

"I thought that was really strange, especially being the Military," the poll watcher remarked in the video. 

The clip concluded with a direct appeal to the viewer's intuition regarding the fairness of the 2020 outcome, the lady said, "You must know in your heart that this election was fraudulent. There's no question of it, if you really are sensible." 

Trump’s sharing of this video suggests a continued effort to publicize what he views as proof of a rigged system, even years after the event.

Trump's previous claims regarding the 2020 election

Throughout his post-presidency and into his current term, Donald Trump has repeatedly asserted that he would have easily won the 2020 election if legal votes were the only ones counted. 

Trump has previously pointed to a variety of alleged issues, including 'suitcases full of ballots' in Georgia, the 'rigging' of voting machines by international actors, and the 'miraculous' disappearance of his leads in swing states like Pennsylvania and Michigan as mail-in ballots were tallied.

He has frequently described the 2020 result as a 'lie' and has argued that Democrat officials 'never believed they could win this election honestly.' 

His previous statements have also targeted the use of unsolicited mail-in ballots, which he claims lacked proper verification measures and allowed for 'tremendous corruption and fraud.' 

Trump's Truth Social activity on Christmas day

On December 25, the President's Truth Social feed was active with a mixture of holiday greetings and political commentary. 

In addition to the video about the 2020 election, Trump shared various 'Merry Christmas' messages to his followers.
