1/4 “This is delusional,” said Mark Braden, ex RNC chief counsel. “I’m a professional Republican so it’s not easy for me to have to deal with...this. Look, voter fraud occurs. I’ve seen it. ... But you have to be realistic about the size and scope of it.” http://go.osu.edu/emb 
2/4 “The Venezuelans didn’t screw around with the voting machines,” Braden said. “That’s 100% total nonsense. I don’t know what’s going on here. It’s very dangerous that we’re undermining the system. Democracy isn’t a God-given right. It’s a fragile process."
3/4 Braden: "The two most important things are that the person with the most lawful votes wins, and that the people who voted for the losing side also believe their candidate lost. This is undermining that idea and it’s a dangerous thing.”
4/4 Braden was an especially constructive adviser to the American Law Institute's Principles of Law: Election Administration project, which had strong bipartisan representation among experienced recount attorneys: http://go.osu.edu/ali  His words were always wise then. Also now.
