If a cashier is caught stealing, you don't assume it's his first time. And you'd be wise to at least investigate whether his comrades have also been stealing. You'd be a complete idiot to assume that it was a single in

This is evidence of fraud. You're asserting without any evidence (as I predicted) that these are isolated incidents. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. We may never know the exact amount of fraud that occurred because th

1% in only six states. Much less than a million. They don't need to cheat in places like New York, and it wouldn't help them in places like Mississippi. 20,000 here, 40,000 there, and enough EC votes flip.
