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.

    On top of the fact that every accusation is an admission with those ass hats, though that won’t CONVINCE them of course
