Donald Trump Claims Voting in the United States Is Corrupt in Rant
What happened
Donald Trump made a claim on Truth Social that voting in the United States is corrupt, pointing to Brazil's presidential election as evidence. Trump stated that 125 million people voted in Brazil and results were known shortly after polls closed. He contrasted this with the United States, where results in some cities and states may take weeks to calculate. This comes after Trump told Republicans to vote by mail, a method he has previously called inherently corrupt.
Why it matters
The claim may be significant as it relates to public trust in the electoral process. The differing election systems in the United States and Brazil may be relevant to Trump's argument. The claim is made in the context of an upcoming US election.
Key facts
- Voting in Brazil uses a national system of electronic voting machines.
- The United States does not use the same system, with counties running counts under state law.
- Mail ballots in some states are accepted and verified for days after Election Day.
- Trump has previously called mail-in ballots inherently corrupt.
- Trump has voted by mail himself in the past.
