Towards building confidence in our elections if nothing else.
Our elections needed no "confidence building" until Trump lied about them. If anything, the investigations prompted by Trump's false charges
demonstrated with evidence upon evidence the integrity of our state administered elections.
Consider this from George Will's column in The Washington Post this morning:
"Hours after the FBI’s Georgia stunt, Trump
posted some conspiracy theories, including — speaking of the exotic — this: China coordinated the use of Italian military satellites to cause U.S. voting machines to flip Trump votes to Biden.
Someone should read to him “
Lost, Not Stolen,” a 2022 report by eight conservatives (two former Republican senators, three former federal appellate judges, a former Republican solicitor general, and two Republican election law specialists). They examined all 187 counts in the 64 court challenges filed in multiple states by Trump and his supporters.
Twenty cases were dismissed before hearings on their merits, 14 were voluntarily dismissed by Trump and his supporters before hearings. Of the 30 that reached hearings on the merits, Trump’s side prevailed in only one, Pennsylvania, involving far too few votes to change the state’s result. Trump’s batting average? .016. In Arizona, the most exhaustively scrutinized state, a private firm
selected by Trump’s advocates confirmed Trump’s loss, finding 99 additional Biden votes and 261 fewer Trump votes."
