Forget about election night. This time it could be election month. Or months.
Was there fraud in the 2020 election? Zoom meeting with election expert John Fund
Tuesday, November 10, 2020
It was the crime of the century, but it was the perfect crime.
Update to Strategic View
It will likely be impossible for detect and prosecute widespread vote-fraud in time to change the results. The Covid emergency enabled election laws to be changed wholesale, with little consideration for assuring integrity or even control. Allegations of various kinds of fraud, including voting by non-residents, too-lax mail-in ballot verification and acceptance after statutory deadlines, denial of poll-watching access and online vote tabulation hacking are credible. But a chaotic process is the perfect way to confuse crime and incompetence. It’s not clear a sufficient number of fraudulent votes could be rigorously determined to a court’s satisfaction. To spare the country a Constitutional crisis, courts will foreshorten the window for investigation so that statutory deadlines in early December are not missed. Focus now is on Georgia, where a GOP legislature, governor, attorney general and secretary of state will have to safeguard the two run-offs that will determine control of the Senate.
