Getting far away from the original point here but I'll address it. The statement was reported in full - technically correct but my claim references the summarisation of his remarks that is made frequently, even to this date, which omit

Amusingly it looks like Twitter's report system contradicts the hiding by saying there's nothing wrong with the tweet: https://twitter.com/WhiteHouse/status/1266452015493906435 President Trump has also c

What is the number of fraudulent votes required to make it a serious threat? Hundreds? Thousands? How would you know a priori if it is a serious threat without the final tally? Gore v Bush 2000 had a very close total in Florida. Would it no

Is it not sufficient to discuss the potential for abuse in such a scenario? Does one necessarily need evidence of prior abuse to voice their concern about a potentially broken system? For instance, in this case the ballots are being automat

Without getting into the weeds of the discussion, is it really dangerous to suggest that there may be potential for election fraud through mail-in ballots? Is it simply assumed that this is some kind of hack-proof process? Strange to find t
