Whoa there, hold your horses:

- There's an ongoing investigation into alleged election fraud, which has not yet proven anything

- The candidate himself is not even a suspect in that investigation

- The candidate is known to have had some contacts with Somali government officials in the past, but no relation to this election is alleged by said investigation

- So far, it doesn't sound like they even have actual evidence any fraud took place (https://www.svt.se/nyheter/inrikes/senaste-nytt-om-val-2026?...)

I believe in innocent until proven guilty. Remember that political opponents might have an incentive to fabricate allegations.

Given the user you are responding to is named “try-working” and is participating heavily in this post, arguing heavily on the side of “where there’s smoke there’s fire,” I think they might in fact be one such political opponent. Or at least politically opposed to the existence of Somali migrants in Sweden.

I think their handle is more likely tied to their projects site: https://try.works/

I've had this same thought.

The four year gap just allowed a lot of malicious planning to occur. Especially the Project 2025 whitepaper.

And on the subject of election fraud: I think sending a ramble horde to kick in the doors of the capitol building, _while_ the election results were being tallied, and calling the vice-president to order an alternate set of "electors", and calling on the state of Georgia to "find" additional votes, is clearly election fraud.

Because of all this, when the current administration claims there is election fraud in the US, he knows this to be true, because he committed it...

where's the fun (dopamine) in that though? /s

There are hundreds of reports of election fraud and the number being investigated is unknown but obviously a portiong of that.

Crimes investigated are per definition alleged.

You have no insight into any investigation so your claim that Somali state contacts are not part of any investigation is false.

There's plenty of evidence of fraud, and several hundred witnesses.
