Claims of voter fraud and election rigging have long been used by conservatives to justify voting restrictions and suppress voter turnout, particularly targeting Black communities and immigrant populations. Historian Alexander Keyssar notes that these accusations have historically lacked evidence and served to disempower marginalized groups, especially during Jim Crow and the Civil Rights era. Modern political strategies, including efforts to discredit mail-in voting and implement voter ID laws, have been rooted in this long-standing tradition of using false fraud claims to influence electoral outcomes. Donald Trump amplified and perpetuated this narrative, building on decades of conservative efforts to undermine voting rights.
