Phillyʼs top officials are pushing-back against Donald Trumpʼs baseless voting-fraud claims posted on social media this Nov. Its important to note that no proof was provided to support these statements
There is absolutely no factual basis whatsoever within law enforcement to support this wild allegation
The ex-president (who lost to Joe Biden about 4 years ago) wrote on Truth Social about “massive cheating“ in Philadelphia; adding a weird comment about law enforcement getting involved. However city authorities quickly shot-down these accusations
Republican city commissioner Seth Bluestein — whos office oversees elections — called Trumps post “disinformation“ and stressed that they work closely with the Republican National Convention to keep voting safe. The cityʼs election team has been super-quick to check-out any reports of problems at polling places (though none were found)
The situation fits into Trumps pattern since losing the 2020 race: he keeps making claims about voter fraud that nobody can prove. Local officials say theyʼre ready to look into any real evidence but dont expect to get any from the former presidents team
