The Times Called Officials in Every State: No Evidence of Voter Fraud

Source: NYT

The president and his allies have baselessly claimed that rampant voter fraud stole victory from him. Officials contacted by The Times said that there were no irregularities that affected the outcome.

PHILADELPHIA -- Election officials in dozens of states representing both political parties said that there was no evidence that fraud or other irregularities played a role in the outcome of the presidential race, amounting to a forceful rebuke of President Trump's portrait of a fraudulent election.

But top election officials across the country said in interviews and statements that the process had been a remarkable success despite record turnout and the complications of a dangerous pandemic.

“There’s a great human capacity for inventing things that aren’t true about elections,” said Frank LaRose, a Republican who serves as Ohio’s secretary of state. “The conspiracy theories and rumors and all those things run rampant. For some reason, elections breed that type of mythology.”

Good to have proof there is NO FRAUD.

Thank you NYT for making all these calls. We can sleep easier tonight!

Thankfully a couple of things happened to overcome it. First, there was sufficient daylight shed on DeJoy's stunt ahead of time to ensure that most mail-in ballots arrived on time. Unfortunately the Postal Service still needs to be put back together. While a few of the sorting machines DeJoy had dictated be destroyed managed to be put back in service, many didn't.

Secondly, we had a large enough turnout to overcome GOPer efforts of voter suppression.

Remember when Hillary got 3 million more votes than he did?

He claimed they were made by illegal aliens.

The guy's insane.

Look...

A few years ago we said we couldn't wait for 2020.

When 2020 got here, we said we couldn't wait for November 3rd.

Now that Nov 3rd's in the rear view mirror, we're waiting for Jan 20th 2021.

Be patient and listen to Joe - - we'll get through this together!!

Love you all - - hang in there!
