(19,900 posts)I wonder about the people convinced by this silliness, do they think that President Biden and VP Harris were just too dumb to realize the election was stolen?
Or did they know about it, and choose to do nothing?

(3,943 posts)I don't think "President Biden and VP Harris were just too dumb to realize the election was stolen," I think there was nothing they could have done.
But of course the Republicans are winning because of their various voter suppression tactics. Occasionally, they even admit it. My guess is that before long Trump will be bragging about it. He has already hinted at it a few times.

That is beyond silly.

(15,399 posts)Likewise, disenfranchisement is also.
If the ballots or voting machines weren't actually tampered with, and a voter doesn't have an official record asking why s/he was stricken off voter rolls or turned away at the polls, it's really hard to prove the potential voter didn't actually care to turn in a ballot or stand in line to vote, and had just blown off the requirement to vote on time altogether.
That's what the GOP is counting on when they pull massive registration scrubs or polling site closures/moves in targeted districts at the last legal minute, or call in anonymous bomb threats.
They couldn't do anything about it. What do you think they could have done?
I don't know if they looked at the evidence or not. Probably not.
By constantly talking about rigged elections the Republicans successfully maneuvered us into a weak position. They got us to vigorously defend the integrity of the elections, while they proceeded to rig elections every way they could.
The pattern should be so clear by now. Whenever Trump or his sycophants make wild accusations, they are actually revealing what they are doing. It is a clever trick and it keeps working.
Think. Again.

(22,456 posts)They didn't know about but not because they were "too dumb".
And...
They knew about it and had no choice but to do nothing.
