There are two interesting POVs in this comments section:
1. Elections are the voters’ will. The voters’ will is being undermined.
2. Elections are votes + campaigning and there are laws around both. The campaigning laws may have been violated.
I find myself more in the second camp but I’ll acknowledge two challenges it has:
1. The mere act of questioning the result destroys faith in government.
2.The new government gets influence over the investigation as to whether it broke laws while campaigning
- zo1 2y agoIt's very hard to have honest and logical discussions about this. Both sides are biased here, and both sides think the other is undermining their will and interests. And sane adults that see some of this "meta detail" and call it out (like what you did), are not listened to. Even if they wanted to listen to sane and logical points like that, it would be a detriment to both sides to listen to it - so they don't because they know the other side probably won't.
