8. I've seen this story before. It's the excuse they'll use after they steal the mid-terms.

Oh, the Krapignaw fiasco energized the Republican base so they won. Everything. Overwhelmingly.

Also, Democratic voters simply didn't show up at the polls.

They used a similar story line in 2010, 2014, and 2016.

Even though my Mom passed on Election Day 2014, I can still remember the events clearly as EVERY.SINGLE.WITHOUT.EXCEPTION.REPUBLICAN.SENATORIAL.CANDIDATE.WON. Defying, all reasonable explanations and raw statistical probability. Probability says they would have lost one or two of the races. BUT.THEY.WON.ALL.NINE! I realized it was rigged and nothing has changed.

There's no fucking way that would happen in fair, open, and honest elections.
