Former President Donald Trump, in a social media post on Sunday, cited a Tucker Carlson interview with a guest who made the ludicrous claim that 20% of mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania were fraudulent in the 2020 election.
During the 2020 election, Trump and his allies falsely claimed that fraudulent mail-in ballots helped change the result of the election in key swing states, including Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, and Arizona.
In an April interview with Carlson, Heartland Institute’s Justin Haskins tried to bolster Trump’s false claims of election fraud by arguing that one in five voters admitted to fraudulent voting during the 2020 election.

“An interview by Tucker Carlson of an election expert indicates that 20% of the Mail-In Ballots in Pennsylvania are fraudulent,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Sunday. “Here we go again!”
Trump then demanded the attorney general and the FBI investigate Carlson’s voter fraud allegations and called the RNC to “activate now.”
He added, “Where is the U.S. Attorney General and FBI to INVESTIGATE? Where is the Pennsylvania Republican Party? We will WIN Pennsylvania by a lot, unless the Dems are allowed to CHEAT. THE RNC MUST ACTIVATE, NOW!!!”
