During the 2024 campaign, President-elect Donald Trump claimed without evidence that Democratic "cheating" and voter fraud were occurring. When he was declared the winner early Wednesday morning, those claims abruptly ended. Tuesday afternoon, as votes were being cast, Trump claimed on social media there was "massive cheating" in Philadelphia.

As votes were tallied and it became clear that Trump was on his way to victory, the deluge of posts questioning the integrity of the election fell to a trickle.
