3. Which is why Right Wing media needs to be stopped.

Listen, I have my doubts about free and fair elections too. I do not think that it happens at the counting stage though. Republicans love them some elections fraud. They love dirty tricks and procedure that restricts the vote. They have been caught at exponentially higher rates that Democrats have historically.

Republicans without their media and their dirty tricks would be a regional party at best. Their policies really only benefit the wealthy in any consistent way, and there are not enough wealthy people to keep them in office. So, they cheat and suppress the vote. That is just fact. They blame Democrats for voter fraud all the time and it is just to try and delegitimize our victories.

This could not happen without the vast network of propaganda and lying that is Fox, the thousands of right wing stations, and the right wing internet presence.
