Summary
Donald Trump has sued pollster J. Ann Selzer and The Des Moines Register over a pre-election poll showing Kamala Harris leading in Iowa by three points, claiming it created a “false narrative of inevitability.”
Trump, who won the state by 13 points, alleges election interference but provides no evidence of wrongdoing.
Legal experts expect the case to fail, citing First Amendment protections. Critics argue the lawsuit is intended to burden media outlets financially.
Selzer has retired, and Gannett, the newspaper’s parent company, has defended the poll’s methodology as sound.
The DmR is such a weird target. It may be in a blue city but it panders to the red state. It spends most of its time sucking off the far right policies of iowa politicians and normalizing the tiny dicked, serial sex pest’s insane behavior.
He’s only choosing the DmR because Selzer is one of the most famous pollsters with one of the most accurate track records in the history of political prediction- and very widely regarded as such. He needs to make an example out of any resistance there might be to his upcoming reign, as well as use this as proof that the previous election was “manipulated” as justification for future election “”“reforms”“”.
