Summary

Donald Trump has sued pollster J. Ann Selzer and The Des Moines Register over a pre-election poll showing Kamala Harris leading in Iowa by three points, claiming it created a “false narrative of inevitability.”

Trump, who won the state by 13 points, alleges election interference but provides no evidence of wrongdoing.

Legal experts expect the case to fail, citing First Amendment protections. Critics argue the lawsuit is intended to burden media outlets financially.

Selzer has retired, and Gannett, the newspaper’s parent company, has defended the poll’s methodology as sound.

    Reminder to everyone that you, YES YOU, can claim the 2024 election was stolen to your maga peers using the same rhetoric they used in 2020.

    I heard there was bamboo fiber in the ballots

    The voting machines were hacked

    Took too long to count to NOT be fraud

    Boom, now they understand exactly how they sounded the last 4 years. They hate it, and I’ve made at least 3 people throw tantrums midday.
