If they've stolen elections before........... [View all]

why would they stop now? That's a basic question that nobody's answered to my satisfaction. And in fact, since they HAVE gotten away with it pretty much every time it's been proven by a proponderance of evidence to have happened, wouldn't this encourage them to try it more often now?

So, why stop now? Obviously nobody's in a position of authority is going to call them on it.
