Trump allies were desperate to 'conjure up' voter fraud -- but they couldn't find any

In 2011 Texas adopted the most restrictive voter id law that was in effect. This law was initially blocked by the DOJ under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act until that partisan hack CJ Roberts gutted Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act on the grounds that there was no longer any voter suppression. The general counsel of the Texas Democratic Party, Chad Dunn, filed suit and got the Texas act gutted. In that case, Greg Abbott was the Attorney General of Texas and he could not provide any evidence of the type of voter fraud that the voter id/voter suppression law would cover.

The same thing happened to the TFG attorneys for the 2020 election

On Thursday's edition of CNN's "The Situation Room," former federal prosecutor Elie Honig tore into former President Donald Trump's associates for doing everything in their power to hunt for voter fraud, despite the fact that there wasn't any and they appeared to know there wasn't any.

This came after the release of a transcript from Christina Bobb, a Trump attorney, who revealed a damning conversation Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) had with her.

"According to this new transcript from a Trump lawyer, Senator Lindsey Graham ... said 'Just give me five dead voters,'" said anchor Wolf Blitzer. "That's a direct quote. How desperate were Trump's allies to find anything to back up their false claims of voter fraud?"

"Well, Wolf, one thing that jumps out to me from these transcripts is they knew they had nothing," said Honig. "Whether it's Lindsey Graham, Donald Trump Jr., these transcripts show us that in the hours and days after the votes were actually cast in November, they realized they had lost, they realized their only hope was to conjure up these claims of voter fraud, and they just couldn't find any."

There was no voter fraud which is why TFG lost 63 out of 64 lawsuits
