Election integrity has remained a flashpoint in American politics since the 2020 election, when Trump challenged the results after losing to former President Joe Biden. Trump and his allies alleged widespread voter fraud and election irregularities in multiple battleground states.
Courts, state election officials, and multiple investigations have found no proof of fraud on a scale that would have altered the election’s outcome, though Republicans have continued to push for tighter voting laws and election security measures in response to concerns about the voting process. In a highly anticipated address to the nation last Thursday, Trump alleged the “deep state” suppressed Chinese attempts to meddle in the 2020 election.

“It is really dangerous for us to lose faith in elections,” co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin said. “States administer elections. They’re still done at the state level.

“There’s no real evidence of election fraud,” Hostin said. “It’s like, it’s 0.003%. It just doesn’t exist. It’s a non-issue. And you’re right, it’s not something that’s ever come up before.”
