Ron Johnson Alleges Democrats Will Cheat in Upcoming Election

U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., said Wednesday that he thinks Democrats will cheat in the November election, but wasn’t more specific in his allegations.

“Democrats oppose all efforts to secure elections. In other words, they want to make it easy to cheat. Which means they want to cheat,” Johnson wrote on X, the social platform formerly known as Twitter.

Democrats oppose all efforts to secure elections.

In other words, they want to make it easy to cheat.

Which means they want to cheat.

No surprise cheating is being exposed.

Question is, how much cheating will they get away with? https://t.co/zSbmajepLy

Johnson said that “no surprise cheating is being exposed” and asked: “How much cheating will they get away with?”

The senator didn’t detail any substance to his accusations. He was retweeting a message by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump that alleged ballot and voter registration problems in York and Lancaster counties in Pennsylvania. Like Wisconsin, the Keystone State remains one of a handful of battleground states the campaigns are vying for in the November election.

Multiple court rulings, and in Wisconsin, a statewide investigation found no credible evidence related to any widespread fraud in the 2020 presidential election. The issue, however, remains a rallying cry among some GOP supporters.

Johnson, a three-term senator and renown as staunch Trump ally, has made similar allegations about his partisan opponents  in the past, including during an interview on “The Earl Ingram Show” last week. He likewise said he thought Democrats would cheat in the election.

In the same interview, Johnson also hedged on whether he or Trump would accept the outcome if Democrat Kamala Harris wins the election.

“I sure hope so,” Johnson said last week. “Unfortunately, you know, here in the state of Wisconsin that we have a governor who vetoed the types of bills that would restore confidence in our election system. So, you’re asking me a hypothetical question that I really can’t answer because I don’t know how many different ways Democrats are gonna want to cheat here.”
