A federal judge in Pennsylvania told the Trump campaign and the Republican Party that they must produce evidence they have of vote-by-mail fraud in the state by Friday.
The judge's order, in a high-profile case about vote-by-mail in the battleground state, essentially forces the Trump campaign to try to back up President Donald Trump's false claims about massive voter fraud in postal voting.
"The Court finds that instances of voter fraud are relevant to the claims and defenses in this case," District Judge J. Nicholas Ranjan wrote on Thursday, telling Republicans that they need to provide evidence of fraud to the Democratic Party and the Sierra Club, which are part of the lawsuit.
The Democrats had asked for information and documents that would show steps the Republicans took to study the possibility of fraud, especially related to the use of dropboxes, ballot collection and mailed-in ballots in the primary elections.

OK, Republicans, time to put your money where your mouth is. Show proof of voter fraud.

(11,996 posts)1. So did they? That was 3 days ago. Or is it this Friday?
The Trump campaign and Republicans had refused to do so. But with Thursday's court order, they must answer questions from the Democratic groups and turn over records of communications -- or say they have none. The Trump campaign has until Friday to respond, the judge said.

and one of his flunkies, on one of the sunday morning shows said they had provided proof and then spouted off a few examples, none of which were mail in voting.

They have no proof because there isn't any systematic fraud. The few anecdotal instances I've read always seem to be Republican perpetrators.
I wish every state would challenge the Trump campaign to show proof of their assertion. They are insulting the every state and their voters when these bald faced lies are made in public.
