Hey 2020 election deniers, MAGA Trump loyalists (actually
sycophants), and many (if not most) GOP-run state election conspiracy followers:
Listen and read carefully the below fact-based story.
Fact: The 2020
election and the recent 2022 midterm election were both free, fair, safe, and secure
and the results are accurate. There was little or no fraud or rigging that
would have changed any outcome.
Details
from this AP headline story:
“New
state voter fraud units finding few cases from midterms”
WASHINGTON (AP) — Mostly GOP-run
state level law enforcement units (Election Integrity
Units) created after the 2020 presidential election to
investigate voter fraud are still looking into scattered complaints more than two weeks after the 2022
midterms but have provided no indication of any systemic problems.
That’s just what election experts had expected and led
critics to suggest that the new units were more about politics than rooting out
widespread abuses. FYI: Most election-related fraud cases already are investigated
and prosecuted at the local level.
FL, GA, and VA all created special state-level
units after the 2020 election, and all have been pushed by Republican governors, their GOP AG’s,
and their GOP-controlled legislatures.
Overview from Paul Smith, senior vice president of the Campaign Legal Center says: “I am not aware of any significant detection of fraud on
Election Day, but that’s not surprising. The whole concept of voter
impersonation fraud is such a horribly exaggerated problem. It doesn’t change
the outcome of the election, it’s a felony, you risk getting put in jail, and a
person has a high possibility of getting caught. It’s a rare phenomena.”
The absence of widespread
fraud is important because the
“Big Lie” surrounding the 2020
presidential election spread by Trump, et al has penetrated the GOP
nationwide and eroded trust in our elections.
For example: In
the run-up to this year’s midterm elections, 45% of Republicans said they had little
to no confidence that votes would be counted accurately.
My 2 Cents: First of all, I note that the above 45% GOP no confidence percentage
by itself is very troublesome and concerning. It certainly shows the power of Trump’s
“Big Lie” doesn’t it?
So, Gov. DeSantis and
other Red-state run governments – how do you feel now? My hunch is you still
don’t believe anything in this or previous reporting. Seems you only trust or
believe what Trump tells you to believe and trust, right? Yeah, I thought so.
Time to wake up and as they say smell the coffee – fraud does exist most every elections, but the level and seriousness if not significant or on any scale that would have or in fact impacted or changed any election outcome – that is a historical fact.
Do
the research like from this very reputable site: The Brennan Center for Justice at NYU.
Thanks for stopping by.
