Disproven: A Conversation about Election Fraud with Trump Campaign Hired Ken Block

The 2020 election placed conversations about the integrity of our democratic voting procedures into every home across America. During the November 3rd returns a clear picture began to be broadcast to the nation that Donald Trump was taking a decisive lead in early returns. Many went to bed assuming that the election would be called by the time they woke up on November 4th. In the overnight hours news media began showing vote totals adding up for the presidential challenger, Joe Biden. Immediately claims of election tampering and fraud began pouring in.

In the immediate aftermath the Trump campaign team went looking for the evidence of massive voter fraud. By Wednesday afternoon as the shock gripped the President and the nation, Alex Cannon picked up the phone and called Ken Block. Alex was a lawyer for the Trump campaign. Ken was an expert in voter data, a tech entrepreneur, two-time candidate for Governor, and the founder of the centrist political party, who remained active in Rhode Island. After careful consideration of Mr. Cannon’s request to work to find voter fraud evidence, Ken agreed to work for the campaign to research.

The deadlines were tight, with most states certifying the election by the first week of December. In Ken Block’s new book, “Disproven”, he documents the email requests and daily challenges to get to the bottom of the fraud claims to help court cases. Each chapter of his book is a study of how the story of fraud came to be, what the data states, and a conclusion of whether the claim was legitimate for the courts.

In the end, Ken concludes that he could not prove voter fraud with any certifiable evidence that would have changed the election outcome. However, he uncovers and presents major issues in the systems used to record the will of the nation. He joins America Emboldened to discuss his findings, and what he would propose could begin to reform our elections in the future.
