Tuesday evening, after excoriating the bipartisan pandemic relief bill passed by Congress, President Trump posted a roughly 10-minute video summary of his favored, and unsupported, assertions of massive electoral fraud in the November 3rd election.

WLVR’s Brad Klein speaks with regular WLVR guest, Muhlenberg College Political Science professor Christopher Borick about the message that is at the center of many of those claims; that the results of the election changed after the polls closed and millions of mail-in and other ballots were tabulated.

This is factually correct, but well known and discussed for weeks if not months before the election. Including by Professor Borick on WLVR. The predicted phenomenon was so well known that it even acquired its own name, the blue shift.
