These idiots trying to find voter fraud make no sense

If Detroit Michigan is known to be heavily Democrat, why would Democrats need to have voter fraud to win there? Wouldn't it pretty much be a given that a Democrat would win there anyway?

You would think if there was voter fraud (which there isn't) it would have taken place somewhere where a Democrat was bound to lose.

What am I missing here? And why don't these idiots just allow our democracy to work? This Trump shit has to stop!

And every vote in that area counts towards the state total, so the corrupt Dems are adding votes where they have the power to pull it off.

Also ... black people.

Make sense?

They don't seem to question the fact republicans that could do the same where they have the advantage. Which brings up another thing that really pisses me off: the way republicans just assume voter fraud is always something the other side does...never themselves.

The only cases of voter fraud found so far have been committed by rethugs.

And the lt governor of TX refuses to pay up on his pledge.

... we have won the senate, added in the house, taken some state legislatures, and won every dog catcher race around the country if we were cheating?

They lack logic.

Process doesn't have to make sense to them as long as they get to the goal they want.

NPR reported this morning that the Trump team plans to appeal the PA case to SCOTUS.

They are counting on their new plant to assist with their tin-pot dictatorship steal of the election.

They've never had to deal with that many Black votes, since they suppressed so many before the elections. They've spent years working on that project. The Democrats have worked hard to sign as many Blacks and other groups up to beat the suppression and the numbers this time shocked the Repukes. Standing in line for hours on end also surprised them. So, now, the only way they can fight back is to accuse the Democrats of fraudulent counting. Remember, they always accuse the Democrats of what their party would love to get by with. Honest work at recruiting isn't on their agenda...fraud is.

At the same time, you have all these people calling in with suspicions that there might have been something pulled off...like the dead people voting. That is bound to have happened when you have thousands dying just from COVID, but that isn't intentional fraud.

Add to that the conspiracy theories they've been pushing on Qanon and Oann, or whatever that media source is. Repukes are good at conspiracy theories and Trump loves them.
