In the months leading up to 2020, Trump polled below future president Joe Biden in almost all public opinion surveys. Knowing that he was likely to lose, Trump and his minions concocted a false theory long before a single ballot had been cast to say that mailed ballots are fraudulent.
As the election drew closer, Trump allies even wrote speeches proclaiming victory and demanding that mail ballots not be counted. They knew that mail ballots are delayed in many states.
