Reading The Room

Most often, these days, the air is taken out of serious discussion by someone who thinks they know more than anyone else.

Its obvious to see in the Election Deniers who dominate Republican Politics.

So, is there election fraud?

Yes. There is. Google it and see. But most frauds are for single votes, at most a couple hundred like the Republican Political Machine in western North Carolina a few years back.

So how common is election fraud? It happens every election, going all the way back to the dawn of out history. Probably.

So…why am I writing about election deniers?

Modern election deniers do not admit what I outlined in the first few paragraphs. Modern deniers see fraud on a scale so large that…well, its impossible. After the Trump Loss of 2020, (please don’t forget that he lost the popular vote in 2016, as well), his supporters and just plain stupid people said thousands, even millions of fraudulent votes had been cast, thereby casting aspersions on the entire electoral process, including who actually won the election. Is there a flaw in their illogical conclusion?

No. Not to them. Thousands of poll watchers, election controllers, election workers, with city, town, and village officials presided over the election. Any single sniff of fraud that got by at least a team of watchers, was litigated in court 63 times. It staggers the mind that so many people administering the 2020 and all other elections could be hood winked so easily and effectively. How in the world?

The only real proof deniers have is that their candidate lost. But, wait. Election deniers know more than the rest of us, right? The deniers know something the rest of the world does not.

Damn. My bad. its clear now. I can read the room. We have a select few among us so much smarter than the rest of us they can see and understand things we cannot. How stupid could I be? I’ll start paying more attention to them and hope to become like them, eventually.
