Houston, we have a major problem.

When we have a political party that said to stop counting votes they are no longer a political party that is interested in Democracy. Biden winning is not going to to fix that at all. Houston, we have a major problem.

We really need to codify things that have been considered norms.

2. I'm more concerned what they will do in the next election

Will they purge even more voters from the rolls and then come up with some other whack way to register? What will they do with mail-in and absentee ballots?

They're always pushing for ways for one-party rule.

So tens of thousands of teens who turn eighteen between November 3 and the January date would be blocked from voting.

5. I'm even more concerned we're not looking at the data in front of us. Trump got nearly 90% turnout

... in red areas and damn near base of 80% of the votes in those areas to get the election this close.

I'm less concerned about purging vs voter adding, the numbers for Trump look too good to be true

In your face Propaganda. We need to analyze the worst of it and where it comes from and how it spreads. Then see what can be done about it.
