I think I’ve grown numb to all of the various angles from which there have been attempts to malign the election results.
Is that “figure out if something was amiss” or “figure out if something might be amiss”? Let’s continue and see:It wouldn’t be that difficult to figure out if something was amiss here.
OK, so it was the second. That still leaves open the question of whether it is easy to figure out if anything is amiss".Look at the voting turnout here in 2008, 2010, 2012, …, 2018. If we see something like 25% to 50% in those elections but 95% in this one or some similar set of numbers, I’d suggest there is at least smoke there worth investigating further.
I don’t oppose investigations that do not impede the orderly transition to a new administration. But that is exactly what these denials are doing. The cost is high to the nation. We should have more than conspiracy theories before we decide to incur those costs. Many analysts say that the one month delay after the 2000 election while everyone was counting hanging chads led to an intelligence failure that missed the 9/11 planning. This year we have national security issues too, plus a pandemic to manage. Every day that goes by “investigating” is costing lives.If I’m wrong about this one, then I’m wrong. But let’s have some numbers.
But you don’t even want the slightest shred of an investigation to take place. What are you so afraid of?
Ah, if only it were that simple!As I said, if I’m wrong, then I’m wrong. I’m fine with being wrong here.
This was why I read the article with incredulity. Why is that not obvious to her?Basically, this brilliant “data analysis” shows that many voters were found clustered in places where many people live.
Yes, it is. That’s why the Pennsylvania lawsuits are so much tilting at windmills.Just read that in the local news. I believe Pennsylvania’s deadline is today as well?
Al Gore deserved his 37 days. I voted against him, but I never begrudged him that time. There were doubts and he was allowed to exercise his objections which were heard all the way up to the Supreme Court. A courtesy you don’t want Trump to have.I don’t oppose investigations that do not impede the orderly transition to a new administration. But that is exactly what these denials are doing.
