    Trump was very careful to make baseless accusations without proof and make things as ridiculous as possible.

    His actions severely hurt the efforts in some states to remove election machines and replace them with hand counted ballots such as Virginia did.

    Notice he did nothing constructive in his sabotage; he could have easily promoted more transparent vote counts. Instead he attacked mail in ballots, which are very reliably counted.

    I was very much invested in promoting hand counted ballots during that time, so I saw the effects. It was very sad.

    I’m not sure if you are aware, but most of the discrepancies were absolutely harming democratic races in senate, house and presidential general elections; and in the gop primaries.

    Which is why I said, if progressives were able to see this as an issue, the gop would have never won control of the presidency or congress the last 10 years or more.

    But it’s not much a discussion in politics

      Honestly, like I said earlier, these conspiracy theories don’t match up to basic common sense.

      Now you’re arguing that trump is actually in on this conspiracy but is sneaky enough to have never mentioned it etc.

      It just gets mind boggling silly at this point.
