Obsessed by alleged cheating, Trump camp crisscrosses key states to call for “monitoring those who count the votes”

This is one of the obsessions of the Republican camp in the campaign for the White House: to prevent any fraud on November 5. In his rallies, Donald Trump calls on his supporters to be extremely vigilant.

The former president even last week relaunched his attacks against what he calls “cheating” And “the shenanigans of the democrats” whom he accuses – without any foundation – of having stolen the presidential election from him four years ago. For several days, representatives of his party have been crisscrossing key states to train their voters to be observers during the election, particularly in Wisconsin.

The tour “Protect The Vote” (Protect the Vote) stops in the rural town of Elkhorn. In a tin shed, straw bales serve as a stage. Judie, convinced – despite investigations that have proven otherwise – that there was fraud in 2020, wants to ensure the fairness of the next election. “I was told that 150,000 votes were illegal because voters were not even asked for their ID cards. So I came to see what I can do about it and how to help.”she confides.

On the podium, Republican elected officials are calling for the deployment of thousands of observers on November 5 to verify that only American citizens are actually voting.

“We’re going to continue to work to make sure we have eyes on the ground, all across the country, and make sure it’s easy to vote but hard to cheat. To ensure a safe and secure election, right here in Wisconsin.”

These speeches suggest that fraud is possible and perpetuate the myth that the election was stolen four years ago, something Scott is convinced of. “I am concerned because there were irregularities in 2020. So yes, we need many citizens, to monitor those who count the votes”.
With its ten electors, Wisconsin is a key state for the November 5 election and therefore promises to be watched closely.
