Alleged Voter Fraud and Other Election Issues

Before the 2020 election, President Trump raised concerns about the potential for mass mail-in ballots and fraud to undermine a free and fair process. On such grounds, he declined to commit ahead of time to accepting the outcome of the election. In response, Democrats and Left-wing media outlets roundly alleged he was merely setting the stage for a coup, in which he would refuse to leave the White House after an inevitable loss in a legitimate election.

So, Trump and his supporters say the Left was planning to steal the election, and they are saying the same thing about him. In the present heavily polarized political context, it is difficult to evaluate the veracity of these conflicting claims. So what evidence, if any, is there for election fraud? If such fraud took place, was there enough of it to influence the outcome of the election--particularly in the battleground states that were called for Biden?

The conservative Heritage Foundation has compiled an election fraud database detailing proven instances of recent voter fraud. There are other more recent accusations of election fraud, as well, many of which are still under investigation and may not be resolved until after the electoral college meets in December. Here's a compilation of anomalies, claims to election fraud, and supporting documentation.

Additionally, I plan to add any cases that come across my path to the list below. Please add any instances and supporting documents that you judge to be credible and haven't already been included. Criticism and additional sources are welcome on any case.

Candidate Charged With Voter Fraud

"The Denton County Sheriff's Office arrested Zul Mirza Mohamed, a candidate for mayor in Carrollton, Texas, on Tuesday and charged him with 25 counts of unlawful possession of a ballot without the request of the voter and 84 counts of fraudulent use of a mail ballot application."

The Ilhan Omar Campaign in Minnesota

"Squad" member and U.S. Democratic Representative from Minnesota, Ilhan Omar's campaign workers allegedly went around paying elderly community members to sign absentee ballots. Then the campaign workers allegedly took ballots in unsealed envelopes and filled them out to vote for Ilhan Omar and other Democrats. There is purported video evidence supporting these allegations.

That sounds a lot like cash for votes/bribery/fraud, but the NYT published an article asserting:

“Accusing Ilhan Omar of voter fraud was a ‘coordinated disinformation campaign’” and “None of the material in the video actually proved voter fraud.”

Then the NYT rehashed the false accusation that Trump refuses to condemn white supremacists and dismissed his criticism of Omar's alleged voter fraud as xenophobia.
