39. Votes were cast in '20 in accordance with the law. Repubs hated the results so they lie as a defense

Ballots were counted in accordance with the law and only the usual, incredibly insignificant amount of fraud occurred, almost entirely committed by Republicans.

Legitimate voters cast valid votes that were counted properly and produced results that pissed off 45 and led to his sore loser lies about fraud and a lack of election integrity. He repeated his lies frequently due to his desperation and his cultists across the land adopted and believed those lies which has caused this crisis we now face.

We need HR1 and HR4 more than ever - along with additional changes at the state, federal and constitutional level - to ensure all Americans 18 years of age or older can vote and have those votes counted correctly.
