I don't have a lot of time, so how this post turns out may not be as pretty as my usual offerings. But bullshit by lefties requires some clarification...not that doing so will end the bullshit, but at least I'll feel I've done more to counter it.
With this clown show of a hearing put on by the execrable and lying Nancy Pelosi, we can't help but recall the many and varied allegations of election fraud and irregularity which led to the presidency being stolen from a beneficial to the nation effective president in favor of a total failure who in fifty years of service in Congress hasn't accomplished a damned thing but to enrich himself. Setting aside the fools who would chose not to vote for Trump in 2020, the totally moronic assholes who actually believed Joe Biden to be an improvement is an indictment on the nation as a whole. How could we have come to a place where so many actually believed that to be true? There was never any evidence the guy was intelligent, honest, capable or in any way worthy of one's vote for anything, say nothing of being worthy of the presidency. And his performance from the jump and everything since has been a litany of proofs of the incredible stupidity of any who thought he'd make things better than they were, which was vastly better than they were prior to Jan 2017 and so far beyond what this dunce of a dumbass has done to our nation. And keep in mind, I'm speaking only of those who thought he was going to make things better, not those who may have voted for him out of hatred for Trump. That's an irrational issue for another time, as I can't get over how stupid those people were.
Anyway, this isn't really about that, either. This is about election fraud and what I mean when I use the term. Thus, no one should believe themselves welcome to bring around their own definitions. What follows is a description of what it means in the context of the 2020 elections.
The previous post dealt a bit with the lame attempts to pretend there was actual arguing in court to determine the merit of a given claim of fraud. There was very little of it, and most of it resulted in rulings in Trump's or the GOP's favor. What remained were cases not actually adjudicated and while I'm supposed to take seriously attempts to present evidence to that effect, it has been woefully absent any reference to specific claims and how they may have been deemed without merit. As I've said, it is a trial or hearing situation wherein one proves a case or has it proven without merit, not in the attempt to have an allegation heard. In the previous post, I provided a link to a John Lott piece which provided an example of what the GOP and Trump campaign was up against in getting their claims heard and adjudicated. It accounted for a considerable number of claims.
But here's the thing: When we talk about election fraud, particularly and specifically regarding the 2020 debacle (a debacle due to how it turned out and what it meant for the United States), it's more than just the typical Democrat stable of dead people voting. And it doesn't require a nationwide organization of Dem scumbags fanning out to vote twice or under fraudulent names. Those are just two of the many ways the election was stolen.
No. There was no need for such organizing. All that was needed was the fact that so many stupid people in so many different areas of life were personally committed to seeing Trump lose. That is, not seeing Biden win, but seeing Trump lose. That is, the derangement of Trump-haters of all parties, of all walks of American life acted on their own individual selves in service to that goal...sometimes like lone wolves and other times in concert with others. So in addition to all the perennial voter fraud favorites for which the Dem Party is so historically notorious, we had brand new methods of perverting the electoral process to favor one party (the jackass party) over the other (Trump World). Let's count the ways:
The Covid-19 situation provided an excellent opportunity for Democrats. Despite Trump's many great efforts to address it as time went on....inhibiting travel to/from China, working with industry to retool their factories to churn out more needed medical equipment and PPEs, "Operation Warp Speed", moving hospital ships and setting up additional medical facilities only to see most of it go unused, encouraging the investigating of prophylactic treatments, etc., Dems exploited the situation in a number of ways...the first of which was to pretend Trump wasn't getting things done on behalf of the American people struggling with the many unknowns of the illness. This portrayal of Trump "incompetence" was repeated constantly by Dem politicians, leftists in media as well as the ignorant, hateful and TDS sufferers among the leftist voters. Add this to the many false accusations against Trump leveled at him since he first threw his hat into the presidential campaign ring, and those who were being conditioned to reject Trump by such falsehoods were now fed even more of it.
As the election season drew close enough for voting to begin, various states ignored the election laws of their respective states on the pretense voting in person was a clear and present danger due to Covid. After suppressing information regarding the truly at risk, as well as the means to protect one's self from infection, this played well among the electorate, and mail-in became widespread. Voters were assured that this form of voting would be safe and secure, despite the fact fraud is far more likely and harder to detect. (It is said that in the European Union, 63% have put a ban on mailing in ballots except
for citizens living overseas. Another 22% have imposed a ban even for
those overseas. And most of those that allow mail-in ballots require
some form of photo ID to get one.) Ballot harvesting became common place and unsecured drop-boxes appeared in many locations, which ultimately were stuffed by Dems.
Then there's the leftist media, particularly of the Big Tech social variety, who in the most partisan manner possible, blocked stories and information beneficial to the Trump campaign, while at the same time blocking anything which was unfavorable for Dems, specifically Biden. The most notable among these is the case of the Hunter Biden laptop. It is said that had this information not be squelched so that so many people were unaware of it, as many as 17% of Biden voters would not have voted for Old Joe had they know of it. Even if that 17% simply chosen not to vote at all, it would have been more than enough to result in a Trump win. And since Dan loves experts, I present Dr. Robert Epstein:
https://www.israelunwired.com/hillary-clinton-supporter-testifies-about-massive-big-tech-election-meddling/
Epstein's testimony warns of just how manipulative the social media honchos are and that for them to be more aggressive with their methods than they were in the 2018 midterms is not even a question of "if", but "how badly". His estimates, even if half, would've made, and thus likely made a significant difference in the outcome of the 2020 election.
We now have a number of sources which detail how the 2020 election was stolen from Trump on behalf of Trump-haters across the United States of America, such as Mollie Hemingways' Rigged: How the Media, Big Tech and the Democrats Seized Our Elections, Dinesh D'Souza's 2000 Mules and of course, the New York Times' own shenanigans as described here:

https://steadfastclash.com/the-latest/new-york-times-writer-brags-about-destroying-thousands-of-trump-ballots/
As can be seen by this limited list of examples, there was various means by which this election was stolen from Trump. And really, this just scratches the surface. Morons and liars insist the election was pure and honest. Those words should never be used in any discussion regarding how this election went down.
