By trump claiming the election was a fraud, he is really saying...

[duforsure]

... Our Democracy is a fraud, and your vote should be decided by him instead using others to accomplish it for him in a courtroom.

1. He may not be lying... He probably knows how badly the Russians

Hacked it

Why he thinks he won it again.

2. I suspect that Russians DID hack into the vote tabulating systems...

... and underestimated the total vote count. Otherwise, they would have replicated the WI, MI, and PA paper-thin margins of victory for Trump in 2016. They likely introduced some kind of programming commands to flip a certain number of votes, but underestimated the TOTAL votes, including the huge turnout for Dems. The pre-election polls were heavily favoring Biden, but nearly uniformally decreased that margin on election day itself. But it wasn't enough to flip for Trump.

Just a wild, unverified guess...

5. yeah...they already had the goods

no expiration date. It will be interesting to see which states they actually want a recount in. Be nice if every state had an independent audit of the vote.

3. I seriously doubt that, especially on a national level.

That's like us denying truth in the media too.

The CNN exit poll included absentee and early voters too, and the popular vote margin will likely come close to matching it like it did for Hillary Clinton last time.

Conspiracy ideas aren't going to help us.

There's just a LOT of white evangelical voters who keep voting for Republicans in this country, voting at a higher rate than other groups and overwhelmingly for the bad guys.

4. Not how hacking works. It's always focused and local

If you wanted to investigate you would start with the easily hackable ES&S machines in Miami-Dade and the Rio Grande Valley in Texas. Remember, Trump's cover story this time was strength among latinos...
