The public by and large doesn’t understand election administration processes in the U.S. The mechanics of counting, tallying, canvassing, certifying, voter roll management, etc.

Propaganda like what Trump and his sycophants are pushing takes root in environments like this. It’s not that the public is not aware of every technical of election administration. It’s that many are incurious about what they are ignorant of when the news requires some humility.
