Y'know what? I suspect there WAS fraud in this election.

92. They probably cheated, but not with the machines

Republicans prefer low tech cheating. Typically voter suppression. The definitive work on this is "What happened in Ohio" by John Conyers. As I understand it, Georgia machines produced a paper ballot, with both human readable and machine readable results. Now they could have programmed the machine to produce a bar code that did not match the human readable portion, but they just had a hand recount, where they were supposed to count the human readable portion.

I suspect they interfered with the mail in ballots. If the ballot was for a Democratic district, it either wasn't sent, got discarded on the way back or was rejected for some small flaw.

In NJ, if the signature doesn't match, the ballot is discarded, so it's up to the political agenda of the person comparing the signatures. Unless, AI is used to adjudicate the signatures, without bias, it is an opportunity to cheat. So in NJ, if you don't have a Republican sounding name or you don't live in a Republican district, you need to appear in person so if they challenge your signature, you can just show your id. Don't know if Georgia requires signature match.

So, I think the Republicans cheated, just as they have since and including Lincoln, they just didn't cheat enough.
