(2,660 posts)Because I think the Republicans did. They have been placing their true believers in local and state positions for years so they can work their "magic". And as we can see, all it takes is a few precincts in a few states....
A lot of us seem to be waiting around for somebody to "do something" about stuff like this, but that obviously isn't going to happen any time soon.
However, local and state politics is something WE ALL can have a direct impact on and do something about.
We need grassroots action to start cleaning out the vermin and fixing the system.

(2,297 posts)RNC put together a candidate neutral ground game strategy. Which Trump disavowed when he insulted nearly everyone that held power in the final weeks. The GOP (Paul Ryan) actually asked the RNC to screw Trump and focus completely on down ticket races. Which permitted down ticket Republicans to disavow Trump, which they immediately did. In October, the GOP essentially conceded the Presidential election to Clinton.

(2,660 posts)but in the end the GOP true believers came through and did the dirty work at the local and state levels.
Just like Bush vs. Gore in 2000.
After all of the voter ID nonsense by the GOP, it is obvious that the vote and vote counting in this country is in shambles and in desperate need of reform and regulation.
We can and should acknowledge that we now have the high ground on this and act accordingly.

(3,300 posts)Its no secret that Republicans are good at projecting. That is, accusing the other side of particular sleazy tactics, when in fact the GOP are the ones actually partaking in that action. So when Trump declared the election is rigged if he loses, he actually knew it was being rigged. Rigged in his favor. And I dont mean voter suppression.
A true fact.... he was saying he was being rigged, it was the other way around we where being rigged ....we knew better from day one......it was on us.....
