Despite official investigations concluding no widespread fraud affected the 2020 presidential election,Ticktin continues to promote claims of foreign interference,citing voting machines from Dominion Voting systems and Smartmatic,and alleging links to countries like Venezuela,China,and Iran. Smartmatic has denied any ties to Dominion and dismissed false election-fraud claims as part of ongoing political conspiracy theories. Ticktin insists forthcoming evidence will prove foreign meddling, although courts have previously ruled against allegations linking Dominion to Venezuela. Trump has denied intentions to declare a national emergency but has been encouraged by allies to consider the move, and could use the National Emergencies Act to respond to election concerns. Instead, Trump is pursuing other legislative efforts, such as the proposed Save America Act, to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/breaking-amy-coney-barrett-and-john-roberts-side-with-liberal-justices-on-key-election-integrity-case\/\" title=\"Breaking: Amy Coney Barrett and John Roberts Side with Liberal Justices on Key ...

Despite the lack of evidence, Ticktin remains a prominent voice among those contesting the legitimacy of the 2020 election results.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Peter Ticktin, a Florida attorney and longtime friend of President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4628626\/trump-pushes-save-america-act-holdouts-supreme-court-loss\/\">Donald Trump<\/a>, has urged the president to declare an election emergency ahead of the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/2026-election\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"11675\">midterm elections<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following Trump\u2019s <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/2020-elections\/\">2020 presidential election loss<\/a>, Ticktin has maintained that foreign interference influenced the election, pointing to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/update-corrupted-software-that-stole-6000-votes-from-trump-in-michigan-county-shut-down-for-two-hours-in-red-counties-in-georgia-on-election-day\/\" title=\"Update: Corrupted Software that Stole 6,000 Votes From ... in Michigan County -- Shut Down for TWO HOURS in Red Counties in Georgia on ...
