Trump, Vance, and Johnson push the absurdity that no evidence of voter fraud is the evidence.

The Fraud on Voting in America
Trump, Vance, and Johnson push the absurdity that no evidence of voter fraud is the evidence.

(Medium) As anyone paying even the slightest bit of attention well knows, not one iota of evidence exists that the 2020 election was “rigged,” as Donald Trump endlessly insists.

Trump’s lifelong egomaxxing — to make up for whatever he never received in childhood, beyond millions of dollars and a father’s admonishments to “be a killer” — simply cannot accept any idea that he has lost in a contest of any kind.

....(snip)....

So, how could this man with one of the most fragile egos in history ever accept that, as an incumbent, he lost the 2020 election to Joe Biden by more than 7 million votes? Rather than concede his loss, he would burn down our democracy. It would be no more to him than having his caddie toss one of his poorly struck golf balls onto the green.

Indeed, overwhelming evidence on the record shows that it was the Trump team that connived to steal the 2020 election, from enlisting the support of Russian operatives (yes, Russia, Russia, Russia!), to voter suppression in urban and college areas, to fraudulently creating fake electors to cast votes in the Electoral College, to sending an armed mob to the Capitol to rampage and stop the count.

....(snip)....

The other reason for the endless lying about election fraud is that, like all the dictators he gushes over, Trump must keep peddling unreality to citizens so they will give up on believing anything, except in him. ...................(more)

that he was correct that the 11,870 "missing" votes have been found, thanks to the FBI.

Always wondered how, in his phone call to Raffensberger, t-rump could say how he needed those votes "because I won the state." If he had indeed won the state, then why did he need the 11,870 votes?

There's no evidence because there was a massive cover-up, and a cover-up proves that it was an inside job, QED.
