>Ultimately it has to be determined whether the election was or was not fraudulent.
That seems to be the problem. We can't seem to say anything that might challenge it. Here's 425 bills in 49 states proving conclusively that the republicans believe it was fraudulent, but literally nobody saying anything

Oh no, we went the other direction. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republican_efforts_to_restrict_voting_following_the_2020_presidential_election https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republican_efforts_to_restrict...
So very clearly the republicans believe the election was fraudulent. What is the democrat response? Assert the republicans are attacking democracy. Which is absolutely not the case.
Lets just hypothetical this? Lets say the republicans fail to fix the fraudulent election? Lets say 425 bills are failed and nothing changes. Do you believe the republicans just accept their fate? No, that'll be civil war for sure.

Georgia has passed significant changes. Biden calls it racially discriminatory but I fail to see how that's the case. DOJ is suing and I guess will prove how its racist but I dont see how that works. Georgian republicans very clearly believe the election was fraudulent and the cheating party is calling them racists without any legitimatcy to the claim. Its not like the bill says black people cant vote.
What's the alternative? It certainly means democracy falls if this didn't become law. What's very interesting and I cant wait to see in 2023. Will georgia flip back?
