Like in 2000 in Florida and 2004 in Ohio, the whole shebang basically came down to one state and they were able to put the fix in in that one crucial state.

This time, Biden flipped 5 states to blue-PA, MI, WI, and AZ with GA being a bonus. It is much harder to make the fix work in multiple states than in just one. They might have done it in 2 states, but not in 5.

Republicans absolutely cheated. There is no way I believe trump got 70 million votes. onecaliberal Nov 2020 #26

But if the Dems had enough margin to overcome Trump's cheating, TheRickles Nov 2020 #28
