Let the process play out. Recounts and inspection of ballots to verify there was no significant voter fraud is a legitimate part of the democratic process. If there was significant fraud it will be relatively easy to detect and prove. If there wasn't it will be relatively easy to detect and prove.

But nobody knows either way for certain yet. Key word being knows.
Thanks for speaking (incorrectly) for me.

I do not believe that fraud did not happen simply because CNN tells me so. I simply doubt that enough of it happened to change the results of the election because mountains of research has been done on it for decades, because I have not seen any credible evidence to make me believe that it has happened and because the court cases that have already been ruled on have been thrown out for lack of credible evidence.

Trump has legal options available to prove his claims. He either will or (more likely) won't.
Nobody spoke for you. I didn't even mention you or quote you.

You haven't done fucking research on it. You're so full of shit. You have read the same articles we have all read.

The difference being decades of research doesn't really mean shit for 2020 because this year is an anomaly due to the circumstances. The mail in voting volume from 2020 is 100s of times more than any of those years of data you have "researched".

And stop acting like you have evidence presented to you or look at court docs. You don't. You watch/read the news and form your opinion.

Now get back to work.

"the left is so positive it didn't occur (because CNN told them so).". That's you stating why other Dems and I feel the way we feel.

"because mountains of research has been done on it for decades" That's me stating that there has been research done on it that I have read, not that I have done.

As your blabbering about evidence, I really have no idea what point you were trying to make in that incoherent mess. I have read about the court cases that have been decided so far that have been thrown out for no evidence.

Learn to read.

I don't think his intention is to prove anything. It is - with the customary bad faith, cynicism and recklessness - to leave tens of millions of Americans viewing the results as illegitimate.

All I'll say is this regarding election... I don't know about fraud. Maybe some did happen, but don't think hundreds of thousands or millions did..

But my wife watched Biden's speech on Saturday night. Her first time watching the president talk in 3+ years and all she said was..

"Damn that felt presidential and I felt like he was talking to everyone and trying to bring people together, not just think of himself"

And I think that summed up this election. One person sought to bring people together, the other was focused on what was best for him and his elites.

Newton: I completely agree with your post, except I think it’s three words too long. I don’t think the last three words of your post are necessary or accurate. To quote our former coach “I don’t think he gives a flip about anyone else but himself”.

The element of the Trump disciples that I will never understand is the loyalty.

He has no loyalty to anyone but himself, and yet people are "ride or die" with him. It doesn't make any sense.

I've never felt obligated to a candidate beyond giving him/her my vote.

I wonder whether part of it is that many of the disciples aren’t loyal to anyone but themselves, either.

They like him not cuz they think he’ll be loyal, but because he normalizes the douchebaggery.

Is there an ounce of data to support his claims?

Apparently being a former brain surgeon is not evidence of intellectual prowess. Hopefully Ben Carson’s fate is better than Cain’s.

GOP Sec. of State (GA) asked to step down by GOP GA incumbent senators participating in run-offs...

This is an all-out CULT man.
