A new revelation sheds light on the lucrative business that emerged to support former President Donald Trump’s unfounded claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election.
Software engineer Ken Block, who was engaged in the effort, disclosed to Business Insider that he was paid a staggering $750,000 to conduct research aimed at validating the existence of mass voter fraud in critical swing states.
Disproving Voter Fraud Claims
Despite the substantial payment, Block’s findings contradicted the narrative Trump’s team sought to establish. In an upcoming book titled Disproven, Block details his experiences, revealing that he disproved some of the voter fraud claims within minutes.
An investigation revealed incidents where inaccurate interpretations were made due to inadequate data, such as when voters with the same name were mistakenly marked as casting duplicate votes and when information about mail-in votes was incorrectly classified.
While Block maintained that he was not pressured to misrepresent his findings, Trump’s team was unreceptive when presented with evidence that refuted the claims of widespread fraud.

Trump Team’s Quiet Reaction
In one case, the conference call Block was on was abruptly cut off after he confirmed that a claim in a Pennsylvania complaint filed by the Trump team was false. Block noted in an opinion piece for AZ Central that his thorough investigation revealed less than 200 improperly submitted duplicate mail-in ballots in all of the swing states put together.
Block criticized Trump’s approach, stating, “Former President Trump has turned losing with grace into losing with disgrace.” Block accused Trump of prioritizing baseless accusations over leadership qualities, contributing to a narrative that undermines the democratic process.
As the revelations come to light, representatives for Trump have not yet responded to requests for comment from Business Insider. Notably, Trump faces legal challenges in Georgia related to his attempts to overturn election results in the state.
Block’s book, Disproven, is set to be released on Tuesday, promising a detailed account of his experiences and shedding further light on the controversial efforts to validate claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election.
