I adopted a wait and see attitude, something that you didn't do over the bullshit whip story. I still think national elections should be conducted under one set of rules presided over by an Electoral Commission as in the UK. We are going to bring in ID checks and restrict the use of postal ballots as they are too contentious and open to corruption. My personal view is if you can't drag your arse down to a polling station every four years then why care? There are exceptions of course, like the armed forces, the disabled and infirm.

^ This is not a response to my comment about the lying nut jobs. Our election system was made for us, not other countries of the world. Furthermore, we've had mail-in voting for years. Military members, citizens living and working out of the country, students attending college outside their home states and even as a regular method for some states. It's never been a serious concern until trump started lying about it.
trump brought cheating rumors into the zeitgeist way back in 2016, when he claimed the process would be illegitimate if he lost the election. He's doubled down on it ever since. trump started with that single lie and built on it with cherry-picking, rumor, innuendo and outright lying. Now his toadies repeat all this unthinkingly and when asked to explain, they fall back on the same old circular arguments. It's why people like me hold him and the nut jobs in contempt.
I don't know why you can't see the arrogance of trump or any candidate stating in advance that if they don't win an election, it's crooked. That's dictator logic.

Many on the Left were railing about Trump before he was even inaugurated. I've freely admitted that Trump has many personality flaws. However look how the Left attacked him and just made up shit about him. The Russian witch-hunt being the most obvious example.
As for your election system, it's patently not fit for purpose in my humble opinion. National elections should have one set of rules nationally, thàt's clear enough to any outsider. indeed I don't think any other democratic country operates in such a haphazard way. Why should states have any say over the running of elections and the rules they are conducted by, surely that must make sense?

People railed about trump because he was a completely unqualified grifter and obvious liar who only cared about the title, not the job. You bring up the Russia investigation as a reason to excuse trump's behaviour but overlook the numerous attacks trump himself made on anybody who didn't kowtow to him. Are you ever going to acknowledge that the Big Steal is the Big Lie? trump was not defrauded of the presidency, period. trump has put this country through so much turmoil, hatred and division that it'll take decades to fix things.
Again, I don't know why you can't see the arrogance of trump or any candidate stating in advance that if they don't win an election, it's crooked. That's dictator logic.

They've gone to the end of the road and it appears that result was for Biden albeit there are many unresolved issues that are deeply disturbíng. There ought to be an independent enquiry into the conduct of elections, as the present state of affairs is clearly not fit for purpose.
I have deep disgust at the way a low life thief was used by the Dems to gain votes, the spectacle of P. Lousy et al on bended knee at a TV memorial service presided over by race hustler Al Sharpton was truly vomit inducing. Add to that to the trumped up show trials by the Dems and which they all want forget about now, but will not be forgotten.
