In reply to the discussion: I'm surprised at how little discussion there is questioning the results. [View all]garybeck
(10,040 posts)11. the question is what does "thoroughly check" mean
seriously, if this going anywhere we need the stars to align
we need a whistleblower
we need some super high tech people who are organized, like Anonymous
we need some people in the media who are willing to risk their careers
we need some Secretaries of State in swing states that went for Trump
and a whole lot more

I am fairly certain that a version of this scenario has occurred with certain members of congress.

Yep, and now we have to deal with a senile-adjacent, bloviating fool delivering mental weave for 4 years.

We were deriding/mocking/ridiculing way before the investigations/court cases were completed

And they went through 60 court cases. The AP called this election that first night.

They can be filed as soon as they can be prepared. And R's will deride/mock/ridicule us just like we did them. nt

Yes it is imo, it's not normal to tell your voters. They don't have to vote because you already have the votes since whe

We lost. No recount, court case, protest, etc., is going to change that. We have mid-terms coming.

It's not about sulking. Do you really think Trump would allow fair mid terms if they succeeded

Except he didn't flip 2024. If Harris, Biden, etc., believe results were correct, I'll continue to move on. We lost.

Based on what direct evidence? No, a report from twenty years ago nor Lichtmans non scientific keys qualify.

Didn't say they were. The OP asked why isn't there more discussion when the site is riddled with threads about it.

No. It's questioning our democratic process with little to no evidence. Just like Trump did.

Sounds like you're saying is Trump's complaints after 2020 should have been taken more seriously and given more credence

Just because there are likely ongoing election investigations that can't yet be revealed, nevermind reported.
