there was, as Charlie Pierce would say, some "ratfkng" going on in the election process (who was allowed to vote - what votes counted, etc.....) and the person "deciding" those issues was the opponent - the person who 'won' the election!
Not a surprise that a RepuQ would claim that the one who was 'screwed over' is in the wrong for having 'issues' regarding the election!

Yes, this IS a classic case of 'false equivalency' and they are such shameless whores for it!
