43. we've always said that to overcome vote rigging, we must show up in huge numbers

We did! and whatever Karl had in place at zero hour is 2100 plus 20 or whenever the big secret switch was timed to throw the election didn't hqppen because they just didn't make it close enough to pass.

Karl still thought he was in charge of the big switch, he has been for years, and of course he's the one man who can say who won with authority. So he kept doing that as if the Repubs were still winning. This is their standard cover- your- loser- ass behavior. They're ALWAYS the winners, no matter what.

I'm being metaphorical. There probably isn't a big secret switch, but "something" as you describe it.
