If there is so much voter fraud, why can’t Republicans find any?

Wake up, Mike. You’re better then that. - AW


-----------------

I was as suspicious of the 2020 election as could be at the outset of many accusations of voting irregularities. That concern was perpetuated by the holder of various records being so reluctant to share often requiring lengthy court fights to get access to the data to further various investigations, investigations that ultimately went against Trump.

As time went on and more cases were adjudicated my opinion changed and I no longer dispute the outcome of the election. I still think there are a number of things that should be done to bolster confidence in the elections, primarily in the area of transparency or processes, and access to records.

Anyway, I don't claim to be better than anyone, but I do respect the judicial process when it allowed to progress to a conclusion, which it did with respect to 2020.

This is why I don't like the standard moderator question, "Will you support the outcome?" Any response other than a loud and immediate "Yes" brands you as an election denier. I think the only realistic answer to the question is more nuanced, "Yes, after any and all legal challenges have been concluded."

You sound like you think all MAGA's think alike. Admittedly, we do with respect to overall Trump support but that doesn't mean we agree with every policy position. In addition to accepting the 2020 results, I also disagree with Trumps and the GOP's stance on abortion.

So getting back to my OP, when I posted:

Not nearly. As we have learned, if there is no enforcement, then for all practical purposes, the law effectively does not exist.

I actually had in mind the summer of love riots following George Floyd and the more recent vast acts of vandalism on our national monuments and the tolerance for the occupation of college campuses and flagrant antisemitism, intimidation and assault on Jewish students.
