was it ring lardner’s who said don’t get in the way of a belief, that your salary depends on,

the lack of chain of custody, and other evidence of a legitimate balloting was rather astounding but all the proper people certified it, (and not a few commenters here, bought it wholesale)

the fact that persons were deplatformed bankrupted some times jailed like tina peters or threatened with same like sidney powell, was the proof of the fraud

why didn’t this happen, because officials like kemp had entered into consent decrees had bought insecure balloting machinery,

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my life it’s that if there is the chance of fraud or theft in a system there WILL be fraud or theft.

@Richard Aubrey:Are they lying to me and they know there was cheating (or whatever else the issue is)? Do they know better but force themselves to “believe” on some other mental level?
Are they incapable of putting two and two together, of seeing what’s right in front of them if the logical conclusion threatens their views?
Do they prefer the cheating because they know republicans aren’t going to do it and chasing the dems’ cheating is a losing game?

It’s all of the above. All they care about is they got the outcome they wanted.

Just before the 2024 election a few of my lefty coworkers announced in a meeting they were planning to vote multiple ballots using their multiple registrations. Room got quiet, a combination of cognitive dissonance for some who were convinced such things don’t happen (but if they do are only done by bad guys) and “don’t say the quiet part loud” from others.

When Trump’s enemies, and by that for this case I mean people I know who voted against him, can deny when looking it square in the face is puzzling,
Are they lying to me and they know there was cheating (or whatever else the issue is)? Do they know better but force themselves to “believe” on some other mental level?

Couple of elections back, a woman tracked down some registered voters in an are of East Lansing, MI. Some were middle-aged women supposedly living at a fraternity house which had been closed due to Covid. Some were supposedly in an apartment complex which had been torn down years ago. Some were in homes along a street with no homes. My dem friends’ reactions were generally a shrug,
IMO, they can’t claim to not believe it. Nobody’s that stupid. Even on purpose.

A program to put these controversies to bed would be quite simple to design and not all that complicated to implement. Georgia just has to look what other states have been doing over the last century.

A simple addition problem made complicated by a company system to allow vote fraud.

Unless, and until, there are very public arrests followed by well publicized convictions based on incontrovertible evidence – in Georgia and elsewhere – coupled with substantial changes to the registration and voting processes, my calendar tells me we are diurnally closer to that civil war everyone is talking about.

It isn’t just the Right who will benefit from an undeniably accurate registration and voting process; without it the Left will always have a “stolen election” rallying point around which they can rabble-rouse.

Not that the Left will not always rabble-rouse about something – that’s their default setting because they have nothing else – but when the electoral process is sufficiently bulletproof accurate and valid and the entire process conducted in such a manner as to be absolutely, completely transparent regarding accuracy and validity it will not be possible to move beyond that issue to others of greater relevance.

That the complete electoral process, from nomination to induction, has become so valuable is an obvious fault of allowing government – at all levels – to increase in size, cost and impact to the point where control of it is increasingly important. First, fix the voting, then very substantially reduce the power of those elected by it.

I’m still waiting to see interviews with the plumbers. You know, the ones that worked on the water leak that shut down the counting “temporarily”.

Trust? Maybe if there had been some serious arrests and convictions. But investigation after investigation, on and on forever? You’re a nobody if you’re not being investigated. Seems the only purpose of investigations is to provide something to fill pundit space. I no longer even trust “elections” where my side wins. Box 4 will open soon.
