The man hired by Donald Trump to dig into election fraud allegations is turning the tables on the ex-president. Ken Block, head of Simpatico Software Systems, didn’t mince words in an op-ed for USA Today, slamming Trump for peddling a “lie” that Block’s own research thoroughly debunked, and revealing that his exhaustive research found zilch to support Trump’s claims, and the campaign was explicitly told there’s no evidence to flip any election outcome.
Block slammed Trump’s reliance on a “steady diet of lies and innuendo” to drown out the truth. He pointed to the hard data from voter records, showing zero signs of widespread fraud based on data mining and fraud analytics.
“I am the expert who was hired by the Trump campaign. The findings of my company’s in-depth analysis are detailed in the depositions taken by the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol,” he wrote. “The transcripts show that the campaign found no evidence of voter fraud sufficient to change the outcome of any election. That message was communicated directly to White House chief of staff Mark Meadows
Block lambasted Trump’s reliance on a “steady diet of lies and innuendo” to drown out the actual facts. He dropped the bomb that voter data showed no signs of large-scale fraud and that claims made by others were straight-up false.
“The cries that the election was lost or stolen due to voter fraud continue with no sign of stopping. The constant drumbeat hardens people’s hearts and minds to the truth about the 2020 election. Emails and documents show that the voter data available to the campaign contained no evidence of large-scale voter fraud based on data mining and fraud analytics. More important, claims of voter fraud made by others were verified as false, including proof of why those claims were disproven,” Block continued.
All this juicy info has been handed over to special counsel Jack Smith and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who are busy throwing indictments at Trump and his crew for trying to mess with the election.
Block went further, underscoring the detectability, quantifiability, and verifiability of voter fraud—pointing out the glaring absence of evidence that meets these criteria. His contract demanded rock-solid evidence, and all he found was a sprinkle of bipartisan fraud, with Republicans and Democrats pulling the same stunt.
“What these claims don’t take into account is that voter fraud is detectable, quantifiable and verifiable. I have yet to see anyone offer up ‘evidence’ of voter fraud from the 2020 election that provides these three things,” he wrote. “My company’s contract with the campaign obligated us to deliver evidence of voter fraud that could be defended in a court of law. The small amount of voter fraud I found was bipartisan, with about as many Republicans casting duplicate votes as Democrats.”
Block acknowledged the allure of sticking to a single issue, but he threw shade at Trump for dragging the election infrastructure and legal system into a baseless web of false claims.
