The US house majority leader shared their voter fraud theory and it took a reporter just five words to totally debunk it

Magas are suddenly VERY concerned about voter fraud. The issue you heard absolutely nothing about during the the last Presidential election, or even the last time Senate and House seats were up for grabs, has now become the number one issue plaguing America right now.

There seems to be one constant at the center of every Maga voter fraud accusation: their guy didn’t win.

Donald Trump can hardly let a day pass without bringing up the 2020 election he lost.

Now US House Majority Leader Steve Scalise is calling out literally any election where his side loses. His claim: ballots submitted legally and on-time are taking too long to count.

Here’s his word salad answer when pressed for proof of why this is fraudulent:

RAJU: The president keep saying the California election was rigged. What evidence have you seen to show there has been widespread fraud?

SCALISE: You had wide changes after election night in the results

RAJU: They’re just counting the ballots

SCALISE: Look, whether you can… pic.twitter.com/2wRl2ScOK2

To summarize: counting all the ballots is now bad.

To summarize further, time to hand over to the good people of Twitter…

Policy disagreements about legal election procedures and preference for in-person voting on Election Day DOES NOT EQUAL FRAUD AND RIGGED ELECTIONS. https://t.co/3NmhrPtshQ

People like Scalise are just straight-up lying to undermine confidence in our voting system with zero evidence.

Skepticism only exists because of their endless bullshit.
They’re repeating the exact same lies that fueled the January 6th attack on the Capitol.

Constantly spreading baseless election fraud lies every time a republican loses undermines the integrity of elections more than counting votes does.

Election misinformation is a primary tactic used by fascists and authoritarian movements to destabilize democracies. https://t.co/SoppVVWxgh

How? Explain to me why votes that were cast on time shouldn’t be counted. Go on.

Accurately counting the vote undermines the fairness of the vote. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. https://t.co/Ga4i2Xq6ix
