The “making sure it is fair” part came well before the election when the voting methods and safeguards were put in place. The threat to Democracy came in the run-up with false assertions about methods of voting and after the voting with repeated attacks on a fair process with accusations of fraud that had no basis in fact (to the point that the legal teams didn’t actually plead fraud in court, only in press conferences and social media).
Only Biden? Republicans have blocked numerous election security bills over the years. Like I have no issue examining everyone’s behavior but I don’t like selectively doing so. Trump claimed millions of illegal voters almost lost him the election 4 years ago, he formed a commission on voter fraud and disbanded it a year later when the commissions didn’t find evidence of such fraud. Somehow voter fraud is both enormous and obvious, and impossible to find.
Well since Trump is now claiming the election was stolen… maybe it would have stopped that? They could have at least released evidence they had on wide spread voter fraud, instead of … not.
That makes perfect sense. Thank you - your wish is my command.
Commissions as a normal part of their process release reports detailing their findings. Evidence is presented to media all the time, this ‘its only in court’ is nonsense. It’s accuracy and relevance are determined in court. You can’t have it both ways here, if evidence is in court then nothing Rudy has said is evidence either and you can’t make any claims whatsoever about voter fraud.
What’s a particularly egregious and clear-cut case I could start with?
You weren’t very clear about what you were responding to. There was an election commission in 2017 that was supposedly to determine the extent of voter fraud in the 2016 election. It was disbanded having found no evidence of significant voter fraud as Trump had claimed. I was asked why we should have spent more resources there, and I was pointing out since Trump is again claiming voter fraud, perhaps disbanding the voter fraud commission was a bit hasty.
Because we diagree with his policies and consider some of them harmful to the United States.
What do you mean by “come together?”
I thought this when I saw Democrat supporters refuse to accept Trump in 2016, and I’m thinking it again now I see Republican supporters say the same thing. (For what it’s worth, I also think this in UK elections, whoever wins!). I just wish the losing side could lose graciously, and civilly!I don’t think that’s why Joseph Biden won the election. I think he won the election because people couldn’t get past Pres. Trump’s personality. They weren’t voting for Joseph Biden and his policies, they were voting AGAINST Donald Trump and his Tweets.
Many world leaders did handle it differently, and in many cases with much more success. We have placed going weeks without a cases and responding to single digit cases effectively, while we rack up hundreds of thousands more cases all the time.
