This thread is from back when Genesect was reporting news via RSS integrations. For the latest on the subject, this Wikipedia article on 2020 election disputes and outcomes goes into much more detail: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attempts_to_overturn_the_2020_United_States_presidential_election
There are some pretty obvious bad actions in there. No matter where you land politically, we need to be able to trust our elections and peacefully transfer power. These election interference charges were dropped after the 2024 election, as the plurality of US citizens re-elected President Trump.
From an NPR article on from November 11, 2024, on dismissing the charges:
Monday's filing is in line with longstanding Justice Department policy that says a sitting president cannot be indicted or tried on criminal charges because it would violate the Constitution and interfere with the working of the executive branch.
A sitting President can only be held liable if they are impeached and removed from office first, which involves a simple majority (>50%) in the house (218 votes out of 435) and 2/3 of the senate (67 votes out of 100). This is unlikely to happen, even with a large voter turnout.
These kinds of election questions are ones that will be relevant again soon, with the midterms coming up. If you're a US citizen and are going to be 18 or older by November 3, 2026, learn how to register to vote here: https://vote.gov/guide-to-voting/preparing-age-18-and-under
