Introduction to Doubt

The recent midterm elections in the United States were a significant event, with all 435 seats in the House of Representatives and a third of the Senate up for grabs, along with numerous gubernatorial and local races. The elections, held on November 3, 2023, resulted in a crushing defeat for the Republican Party, with Democrats sweeping both chambers of Congress. Former President Donald Trump has revived his claims of election fraud, questioning the cleanliness of the elections on his Truth Social platform.

Trump: "Does anybody really believe that this 'Election' was honest. How could the Polls be so wrong??? Some early voting 'dumps' were so large that it was impossible to win, no matter how many people went to vote. It’s all about the machines, which are far more important than the voter!
