One thing to keep in mind. Reporters snd TV hosts keep repeating that there is no evidence of “widespread” vote or “substantial” vote fraud. This is better that accepting Trumps lies. But it’s wrong snd dangerous. There is in fact no evidence of ANY fraud.
2/ Certainly there will be isolated instances of someone somewhere who did something wrong. The only case so far in Pennsylvania is one where a Trump supporter tried to vote in the name of his dead mother. But this is meaningless and well meaning journalists are muddying ...
3/ the water by saying no “widespread fraud”. That suggests that there has been fraud or evidence of fraud but it’s not widespread, not enough to effect the outcome of the election. Again, false.
4/ Voter fraud is quite rare in the United States. This is a fact backed up by years of evidence, numerous investigations which have tried to find it and failed. What does exist is virtually always isolated and inconsequential.
5/ There will likely be a few isolated cases like the Republicans in Pennsylvania but this election appears to have been remarkably clean and smooth even by the standards of US elections.
6/ For those of you who are new to this many of us have been reporting this beat for years, decades. All the weird hypotheticals have been run through a million times. This is all made up, all lies.
