Martin the heart of the issue as I see it is that Trump has been crying voter fraud for a very long time

In 2016\17 the commission he set up to look for the millions of fraudulent votes he claimed were cast against him fizzled out with nothing of substance

Since then he has continously railed against voter fraud, and asserted the only way he was going to lose was if there was a massive fraud against him

Early in the morning of November 4 he addressed the nation and claimed a win...and said the only way he was losing was going to be if millions of fraudulent votes against him suddenly appeared

In recent days, no allegation of voter fraud has been accepted by the courts where lawsuits were filed...in fact cases were thrown out quickly and in some cases simply withdrawn

This was a follow up on last weeks claim that "starting Monday we will be launching court cases and we have lots of proof of fraud"...which has gone nowhere. No surprise as no one has uncovered any evidence and every state has chimed in saying their elections were fair and nor subject to fraud

As far as I understand, the Georgia recount is mandated because it was so close...not because of fraud allegations.

So they have now backed off fraud allegations in law courts (while maintaining their allegations in the court of public opinion) and are attacking the mail in ballot system. This is how they want to turn over the election results. Simply eliminate those mail in ballots that mostly voted against him....not in any state he won where there are mail in ballots mind you, just in those states that turned against him.

While the allegations of fraud were being pursued, I can see and supported holding back a concession.

But the tactic of trying to nullify millions of votes in states that did not support him is not the hallmark of someone who believes in democracy or a party that believes they are subject to the will of the people

You can argue process and "enlightenment" all you want at this point. But apart from the mandated recount in Georgia you won't get that. Not in Penna or elsewhere wherever they may get mandated or requested recounts . Fraud lawsuits are not what they are after anymore because they have no proof and the courts have thrown out their claims where they were launched.

They are now claiming the election procedures in Penna were unconstitutional.That is their strategy.

Like it or not, that is now the side you are on.

Furthermore, The RNC and Trump are raising monies now for the legal challenge fund, they say, but Reuters highlighted the fine print which says it goes into a Trump Pac and the national RNC first, then any donation amount of (I think it was) $8.000 goes to this fund. Big lie in the bold print offset by weasel words in the fine print that eliminate their use of funds pledge.

In closing, I am all for fair and due process, but when it is based on lies and attempts to disenfranchise voters, it cannot be tolerated.

I know I'm not going to convince you, but after this is all over, the allegations will linger and the USA will continue to be divided and many will not trust the system anymore.

History will show us what unfolds...but whatever happens, this is a seminal moment for the USA.

May God be with you all.
