So we're recording on Thursday, September 30th at 241 p.m. and classes beginning again.

So what are we going to talk about today?

All right, well, let's go back to the 2020 presidential election, all right?

Okay.

One more time.

Now, there were good reasons, if you think back then,

to worry about whether we're going to be able to pull off

a legitimate Democratic election for president, right?

So let's go through a couple of those concerns.

Number one, Trump and his allies kept stating without any evidence at all that the election was going to be

fraudulent that they were going to be ballot boxes stuffed that they were going to

be ineligible or dead voters voting that voting machines are going to be

tampered with all kinds of

stuff like that and even months before election day remember Trump kept saying

things like the only way we're going to lose this election is if the election is

rigged right now these claims of lose this election as if the election is rigged.

Now, these claims of election fraud never really died down.

And in fact, they've kind of gotten more insistent.

So that means that literally millions of Americans believe falsely that there's something wrong with the election of President Biden.

So second, Trump and his allies tried a pressure campaign in some of the states by doing things like trying to prevent

secretaries of state from certifying the results.

D. certify the election.
