Here's what I want to know. Why were we not aware of all of this frickery with the machines till after the election? Trump's team should have known these machines were bunk to begin with, and been leading a unified front to put a stop to them 3 or 4 years ago.

Republican senator Ben Sasse says he'll take no part in Trump-backed plan to object to Electoral College vote and says in private 'not one' GOP member believes election was 'fraudulent'

'When we talk in private, I haven't heard a single Congressional Republican allege that the election results were fraudulent - not one,' Sasse wrote in a long Facebook post Wednesday night. 'Instead, I hear them talk about their worries about how they will "look" to President Trump's most ardent supporters.'

Sasse, who's been one of the few Republican Trump critics on Capitol Hill, laid out the Trump campaign's court cases in each state and then explained why some reported instances of fraud or disparities would not flip the results.

'I started with the courts for a reason. From where I sit, the single-most telling fact is that there a giant gulf between what President Trump and his allies say in public – for example, on social media, or at press conferences outside Philadelphia landscaping companies and adult bookstores – and what President Trump’s lawyers actually say in courts of law,' Sasse wrote.

Sasse points out that while there's no legal penalty for misleading the public, there is one for deceiving judges.

'[T]he president’s lawyers know that – and thus they have repeated almost none of the claims of grand voter fraud that the campaign spokespeople are screaming at their most zealous supporters,' Sasse said.

'So, here’s the heart of this whole thing: this isn’t really a legal strategy – it’s a fundraising strategy,' he added.
