I get misunderstood. My opposition to the "stop the steal" rhetoric was that the evidence was never provided. There are several terms that can be applied when allegations are made without proof, but "unsubstantiated" is one of the kinder ones.
I was open to seeing evidence then and I am open to it now. Seeing none to date, I have to reject the allegation as something between unproven and totally false.
But if fraud that changes the outcome of an election is alleged, we have all kinds of legal and constitutional ways to redress it. Canvassing ballots, challenging questionable ballots, recounts, and lawsuits. Trump took advantage of all of these things and when all challenges were resolved, the legal authorities in the states where the allegations were directed certified the vote, and the appropriate electors were assigned to go and vote their state's will in the electoral college. All of that is what our constitution provides, it was exercised, and it delivered a result.
I believe the Dems cheat in every election in a variety of ways and now they can use powerful social media platforms to be their allies in suppressing their opponents messaging, controlling the public discourse, and influencing what undecided voters see and hear to shape their perceptions toward Dems.
But when every ballot can be looked at, it's really hard, pretty much impossible, to get enough illegitimate votes counted that amount to tens of thousands of votes, without it being detected and obvious.
If fraud occurred that changed the outcome of the election, it would have to be done through the voting machines changing the votes for one candidate to the other candidate. Sydney Powell, Rudy, and several right wing media folks alleged this, promised there was proof, never delivered it, and now are being sued by Dominion. Lol.
If that had happened, I would expect that the Trump campaign would have found thousands of voters who voted for Trump, but were counted as Biden votes. Lacking them, I have to assume they don't exist. And this would have been caught during the recanvassing.
For these reasons and more, I'm not buying. On a very basic level of reasoning, comparing 16 and 20, I believe in Trump's ability to attract 12 million new votes for him and 20 million new votes against him. That would seem to be the most logical explanation. FWIW
