Ginsberg is expected to testify that there is no evidence of widespread fraud in the 2020 election, despite allegations by former President Donald Trump and his supporters. He will also talk about the failed lawsuits filed by Trump’s team.
Ginsberg is considered a leading Republican expert on electoral fraud and played a critical role in the Florida census when then-candidate George W. Bush defeated then-Vice President Al Gore.
Even before the election, in an essay in September 2020, Ginsberg spoke of the weakness of the former president’s claim and criticized the allegations as lack of evidence and “unstable.”
The commission did not release information about who testified on Monday and declined to comment.
Another witness on Monday will be Chris Stewworth, a former Fox political editor. Fox fired Stirewalt in January 2021 after a right-wing reaction to the Arizona network’s call for then-candidate Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election.
Stewart wrote in an article in the Los Angeles Times after his dismissal that the refusal to believe the election results among many Trump supporters was “a tragic consequence of the information malnutrition that affects the nation so much.”
Monday morning’s hearing will focus on how Trump has called into question the election process, knowing that his allies’ claims will not change the outcome, said last week’s deputy chairman Liz Cheney, a Wyoming Republican.
The commission will seek to show how “Trump is making a huge effort to spread false and fraudulent information,” even though “Trump and his advisers knew he actually lost the election.”
