DOJ Admits Bill Barr Was Wrong About Massive Mail-in Ballot Fraud Example He Cited on CNN
The Department of Justice (DOJ) on Thursday admitted that the example of mail-in ballot fraud that Attorney General William Barr highlighted during a CNN interview was untrue. A DOJ spokesperson blamed Barr’s erroneous description of the facts on the attorney general being provided with an “inaccurate summary” on the case, which Barr said involved a Texas man who had manipulated 1,700 ballots.
In an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, Barr cited to the Texas case in attempt to provide evidence in support of the claim that “elections that have been held with mail have found substantial fraud and coercion.”
“For example, we indicted someone in Texas, 1,700 ballots collected, he — from people who could vote, he made them out and voted for the person he wanted to. OK?” Barr said. “That kind of thing happens with mail-in ballots and everyone knows that.”
Unfortunately for Barr, the people who actually knew what happened in that case were quick to correct the record, saying the attorney general’s description of what happened was not even remotely close to accurate.
“That’s not what happened at all,” Andy Chatham, the assistant district attorney on the case, told The Washington Post about his reaction to Barr’s claim.
