Put Up or Shut Up: Republicans on Voter Fraud
By Chris Vance
-Democracy is based on willingness to accept defeat. If political combatants refuse to concede when they lose but instead resort to violence, or claim the election was stolen when they have no proof, democracy itself is at risk. Republicans, at the behest of a little man with a fragile ego who cant accept that he lost an election, having been baselessly screaming fraud since 2020. They are getting ready to do it again this year. It has to stop.
Republicans went to court over 60 times after the 2020 election alleging fraud. They lost every time. Numerous nonpartisan investigations have found zero evidence of fraud. But still the Big Lie continues. Even Washington state Republicans absurdly claim elections they lose by hundreds of thousands of votes are somehow rigged.
American elections are not perfect; nothing built by human hands is. Every election there are going to be a very, very small number of mistakes made. But there is zero evidence ZERO indicating that any election results have been changed due to voter fraud. If you actual understand how elections are conducted, you will see how implausible voter fraud is today.
I have seen elections up close and personal. I have observed ballot counting and signature verification numerous times as a campaign staffer and a party chairman. As a King County Councilmember, I served more than once on the Canvassing Board, the ad hoc body that oversees the election in each county and certifies the results. And in 2004, as Chairman of the Washington state Republican Party, I was intimately involved in one of the closest elections in American history. More on that later.
