CNN hosted a town hall with former President Donald Trump on Wednesday night in New Hampshire, where he took questions from New Hampshire Republicans and undeclared voters who plan to vote in the 2024 GOP presidential primary about a wide range of issues. However, Trump used the platform to make many false and unsubstantiated claims about the 2020 election, violence on January 6, 2021, the economy, and his handling of records after leaving the White House.

The most prominent of these claims was Trump's insistence that the 2020 election was "rigged." This is not only a false claim but also one that has been repeatedly debunked. Trump lost the 2020 election to Biden fair and square, 306 to 232 in the Electoral College. Subscribe for more content like this.
Biden earned more than 7 million more votes than Trump did. Trump's own campaign and senior officials in his administration found no evidence for his claims of widespread fraud. Yet, he continues to repeat the lie, fueling mistrust in the American electoral system.

Trump also made claims about voter ID laws, saying "We should have voter ID." However, it is misleading at best for Trump to claim that voter ID doesn't currently exist in US elections. In fact, most states require some form of identification before casting ballots. The remaining states that don't require ID have other methods to prevent fraud, like signature checks.
