I see that Congressman-Elect/Hitler Enthusiast Cawthorn is objecting to the results of the election that put him in congress

1. “A list of thousands” only has 1,071 examples...

2. By “recent,” he means dating back more than 40 years...

That list is from the right-wing a Heritage Foundation, and includes a fair amount of iffy examples https://www.heritage.org/voterfraud/#choose-a-state

For instance, it lists... 13 examples of impersonation fraud. Just 13! Over 40+ years. That’s the type of fraud that they claim is so rampant that things like voter ID laws are necessary. It isn’t rampant, obviously.

The current list has 1,308 examples. Many of those weren’t actually voter fraud. And a lot of them were for city council races or primaries and whatnot, which one might figure would have less scrutiny than presidential general elections.

Even if those examples all happened *this year* (they didn’t) and all happened in the presidential election (they didn’t) and all favored one specific candidate (they didn’t)... out of 158,240,239 votes cast in the election... that would represent just a 0.000827% rate of fraud.

Unless your definition of “common” is anything that happens more than 0.000827% of the time, then no, it is not “common.”

I think the real takeaway from all of this nonsense is that if Republicans controlled both the House and Senate at some point in the future that it’s entirely possible that they’ll simply vote to reject the EC votes if Dems win a presidential election.

That’s where their party seems to be these days. They’re an anti-democratic fascist coalition. That’s who they are with or without Trump.
