There was plenty of dodginess in 2020, not the least of which was States executive branches unilaterally making changes to their electoral process rather than going through the Constitutional mandated legislative branch.
Many of those changes have since been thrown out by State level supreme courts for being unconstitutional: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/01/28/pennsylvania-mail-voting-courts/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/01/28/pennsylva...
But judges don’t have time machines so that doesn’t change the outcome of anything.
Anyone that can say that there is zero shenanigans in Philadelphia’s electoral process with a straight face should consider becoming a professional poker player.

That's a ruling by a single state court that's going to be immediately appealed, and it's of a law passed by the republican-held legislative branch.
- lostcolony 5y agoUh, your own link - "The state’s Republican-controlled legislature passed the law establishing no-excuse mail-in voting for all voters in 2019 with bipartisan support". That's not the executive branch unilaterally anything. But, perhaps I should clarify then, rather than the abstract "dodginess", I'll instead say "uncertainty as to whether votes were cast legally, and counted correctly".
