re: PA is a prime example of why the GOPe barely lifted a finger to fix the voting problems.

I wonder when is the last time we have a fair election.

JFK-Nixon was a little before my time but I’ve read many felt that one sketchy.

In my own lifetime, I’d pretty much felt the outcomes all legit up until this current century started.

My personal WTF moments on maybe having my eyes opened include:

2000 - The first time I can remember Dems acting outright demonic after a loss. “Hanging chads” and all the bullshite that drug for weeks.

2012 - Mittens absolutely destroying an overmatched Obama in the first debate and then inexplicably going into a shell afterwards. Candy Crowley and Obama tag-teaming against Mittens.

2016 - The demonic, vile and unceasing venom unleashed by all corners in DC as soon as Trump was named winner. It never let up the entire 4 years.

2020 - States unprecedented suspending counts overnight only to wake up to a miraculous surge for a guy who barely campaigned. A sitting president increasing his own totals by 11 million over his previous election only to get smoked anyway by a guy who supposedly earned the most votes ever of any candidate.

So yeah, there’s probably been something foul at play for decades and decades but before 2000, it seemed like win or lose, people on both sides of the aisle accepted defeat gracefully and just tried to do better next time. At least that was my perception at the time.
