It’s outrageous that once again, Democrats and their allies attempted to manipulate the political landscape to their advantage. President elect Donald Trump is taking a stand by launching a lawsuit against pollster Ann Selzer, accusing her of rigging her Iowa poll to skew the 2024 election results. This blatant attempt at election interference cannot go unchecked.
Trump said, “In my opinion, it was fraud, and it was election interference. You know, she’s got me right always.”
He added, “She’s a very good pollster. She knows what she was doing.”

Politico reports:
Trump announced his plans to sue during his Mar-a-Lago press conference on Monday. “I’m not doing this because I want to. I’m doing this because I feel I have an obligation to,” he said.
Also named in Trump’s lawsuit is the Des Moines Register, which published Selzer’s poll, and its parent company, Gannett.
“We have acknowledged that the Selzer/Des Moines Register pre-election poll did not reflect the ultimate margin of President Trump’s Election Day victory in Iowa by releasing the poll’s full demographics, crosstabs, weighted and unweighted data, as well as a technical explanation from pollster Ann Selzer,” Des Moines Register spokesperson Lark-Marie Anton said in a statement. “We stand by our reporting on the matter and believe this lawsuit is without merit.”
When asked for comment, Gannett sent the Register’s statement. Selzer announced two weeks after the election that she would be retiring from election polling.
“Would I have liked to make this announcement after a final poll aligned with Election Day results? Of course,” Selzer wrote in an op-ed for the Register, addressing her final poll. “It’s ironic that it’s just the opposite. ”
Furthermore, Trump is also suing 60 Minutes for their disgraceful editing of Kamala Harris’ answers. It’s clear that the mainstream media is in cahoots with the Democrats, doing everything they can to protect their own and undermine Republicans.
