Trump Administration Building Disinformation Campaign Rather Than Actual Legal Cases on Elections

What was said

"It's not clear that any of them will ever materialize to the point where a court will actually get involved. I suspect part of what we're going to see is going to be a disinformation campaign that is waged based on find, you know, quote unquote findings or reports that are released by various parts of the federal government that will be used as a predicate to make false claims of fraud in 2026 and and then again in 2028."

Mark Elias argues the Trump administration has shifted strategy away from bringing actual election fraud cases in court, after repeatedly losing such cases, toward using federal investigations to generate reports and disinformation. Multiple ongoing investigations across Florida, Fulton County, and California appear designed to create a rhetorical foundation for fraud claims without ever facing judicial scrutiny.
