The party that sows doubt does so intentionally because it helps them politically. In many states that are controlled by that party, they’ve passed legislation preventing the government from even opening envelopes before polls close on Election Day, much less processing the ballots or counting the votes.
- systemvoltage 4y agoThese things are not provable but hypotheses, the same thing is accused of our immigration policy that it helps to recruit voters. You can't really prove that and this level of discussion goes nowhere. No progress is made. We should stay rational and just fix the bugs. Edit: I meant the open-border policy and migrants flowing in. I am not stating my own opinion here, I am trying to say that these are the things thrown around in the debates and there is no way to prove one way or the other.

- mikeyouse 4y agoIt’s not some unprovable hypothesis, rather very plain facts. Many politicians who screech about the suspicious nature of delayed vote counting were in the majority legislatures that passed laws to ensure slow vote counting. Pretending otherwise is so silly. There is literally no other reason to craft laws in this way except to later give credence to dishonest “voter irregularity” claims. https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/analysis-opinion/why-does-it-take-so-long-count-mail-ballots-key-states-blame-legislatures https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/analysis-opinion/why-...
