From a persistent bid to challenge the credibility of the 2020 elections, former President Donald Trump has unveiled a comprehensive 32-page dossier, drafted by his legal team but yet to be formally submitted in any court, addressing the exclusion of his candidacy from primary ballots in Maine and Colorado.
As reported by Fox News on Wednesday, January 3, 2024, the document squarely aims at Democratic officials and judges, accentuating apprehensions regarding the actions that led to his disqualification from state ballots.
Trump contends that this issue surpasses the ethical discourse surrounding the 2020 election and plunges into a crucial territory of thwarting future electoral triumphs.

He vociferously stated, “If the Republican Senate does not intervene and confront this OUTRAGE, it will recur, making it exceedingly challenging to SECURE VICTORIES in future ELECTIONS.”
Trump fervently upholds the belief that the election was “Rigged and Stolen,” posing a substantial menace to the very essence of the democratic process.
The dossier specifically zooms in on five swing states, citing occasions where Trump purportedly held substantial leads on Election Night before the tide turned in favor of his adversary, Joe Biden.
Despite the assertions within the dossier, various media outlets and court findings have not lent credence to the narrative of widespread election malpractice.
Acknowledging the intricacies involved, experts highlight that the delayed tabulation in major Democratic-leaning urban centers during the 2020 election was anticipated due to the increased influx of ballots, particularly mail-in votes amid the pandemic. Despite these explanations, Trump and his steadfast supporters persist in questioning the legitimacy of Biden’s triumph.
Senator Lindsey Graham, a close confidant of Trump, raised concerns regarding the forthcoming 2024 elections, underscoring the significance of Trump’s forward-thinking strategy to clinch a potential victory.
Nevertheless, Graham cautioned against dwelling on past electoral results, suggesting that it might hinder Trump’s prospects in future contests.
The barring of Trump’s ballot access in Maine and Colorado remains a contentious point, with publications like The New York Times and The Washington Post navigating the debate cautiously.
The Times refrained from publishing an editorial on the issue, while the Post shed light on the complexities involved, urging the Supreme Court to meticulously weigh its decision.
Amidst this legal tussle and political maneuvering, Trump has agreed to participate in an Iowa town hall interview on Fox News, indicating a calculated move to counterprogram against a CNN candidate debate.
This strategic move could potentially sway viewership ratings and bolster Trump’s ongoing efforts to rally his voter base.
Despite political analysts’ skepticism about Trump’s reliance on his base for electoral triumphs, recent polls suggest Trump leading over Biden in various surveys, challenging the anticipated narrative put forth by experts.
