You should not have to guess. In a process where a basement dwelling potatobrain supposedly garnered 12M more votes than Barack Obama who was packing arenas, generating massive interest, and energy, questions SHOULD be asked and should be ANSWERED. Instead, there was obstruction, deflection, denial of fact, obfuscation, and duplicity.

Barr, recognizing the FBI had participated in election obstruction (suppressing the Hunter Laptop for a year, then passive lying about it being a Russian plant) in behalf of Biden, realized there was zero opportunity for a full, effective investigation. So he went into self-survival mode. He went through the motions in response to Trump's request for investigation, said he found nothing, then quit early.

SCOTUS had opportunity to transparently address concerns in TX v PA, but in its most negligent moment since Dred Scott, it dodged the case with the incredulous claim that Texas had no standing.

In Wisconsin, the courts heard cases proving unconstitutional actions to disproportionately boost turnout in Dane and Milwaukee Counties. Before the election, they acknowledged facts of the accusation, but said as the GOP had not lost, it could show no harm, therefore it had no standing. After the election, the courts said "What? You want us to overturn an election?' Estimates are the county actions generated 150-200K unconstitutional votes.

In GA, multiple cases were inappropriately rejected by courts under the auspices of "No Standing." Eventually, after 3+ years, those findings were reversed. But at that point, there was no remedy.

Now we're finding through independent investigations that various parties allegedly lied, and those lies were the basis for shutting down still more investigations.

All of the above do nothing to allay vast concerns about a crooked election amongst the populace. Which brings us to the following considerations:
• A Democracy can survive crooked elections if the population does not believe its elections are crooked.
• A Democracy cannot survive if the population believes its elections are crooked ... even if they aren't.
