Elections: Play Dirty to Win?
2020 US presidential election stolen? It's a matter of definition. It depends on what the meaning of "stolen" is. One thing can be said for sure: "Republicans were had in the 2020 elections." How? As follows:
1. Successful FBI/CIA/DOJ effort to cooperate with social media and corporate media with the aim of suppressing Hunter laptop revelation. By the way, fascism is defined as the intertwining cooperation of big government and big business. It is so amusing that leftists cry out about the risk of DJT introducing a fascist state when they are already running one themselves!
2. Various known ballot harvesting actions by Dems in states where this is illegal. Georgia, for one.
3. Revised, illegal, voting rules enacted by some states to enable vote by mail citing coronavirus emergency. State law requires legislature approval for change in voting procedures.
4. $350 million "Zuckerbucks" targeted to get out the Dem vote in mid-Western swing districts.
Republicans have limited their attempts to get fair voting to arguing, unsuccessfully, for paper ballots (a la France) and pushing ineffectively for unassailable voter ID. Democrats have resisted that approach while working, effectively, aggressively to manage the vote in favor of Democrats by efforts such as those cited above.
2020 fair elections? Certainly not. "Rigged," the title of Molly Hemingway's book, may be a better way to characterize the elections rather than "stolen." Either way, excepting that Republicans succeed in getting paper ballots and voter ID, they will certainly be disadvantaged in future elections... unless they play the game the election game as the Democrats do (see above). Does that advance confidence in US voting system? Probably not, but it might be the only way for Republicans to win at the national level in the short term.
