After a lifetime of hearing that voter fraud is real, it seems to me that this is the perfect opportunity to find out if that’s true - or not. Even if the margin is too big to turn around the election, it’s worth a full and deep dive to learn whether or not there is cheating.
In Philly, for example, did 5 dead people vote? 50? 500? 5000?? We should all want to find out, not just for Pres. Trump’s sake, but for all future elections, national and local. The media should see this as a perfect test case to dig into something - and inform the public.
In places where ballots were mailed to everyone for the first time, how did it work out? How many ballots were sent to bad addresses? To people who moved? To apartments with new residents? Did signatures match? Did people vote in two states?
These are all valid questions, separate and apart from this year’s race. There is nothing wrong with running this to ground.

Want to see a bad poll and know how they did it? This NYT poll slashed the number of Rs surveyed. In 2016, Ds were 36% of the electorate and Rs 33%. This poll has Ds at 39% and Rs just 28%. Liberals in 2016 made up 26% of the voters; in this poll, liberals are 35%.
When you oversample Ds and liberals, of course you get a big lead for Biden. How on earth did this poll get approved and into print without these facts being noticed or reported? @jmartNYT@alexburnsNYT@ByMattStevens

I left my room at the Colony Resort to get into my car in the motorcade. The motorcade was scheduled to leave the hotel at 8:30 for a 20-minute drive to the Emma E. Booker Elementary School.
September 11, 2001 6:25pm eastern: Air Force One touches down at the Sarasota Bradenton Airport in FL. We had just come from an education event in Jacksonville, FL. POTUS and staff were staying at the Colony Beach Resort.
Harris a fake, empty-suit. She accused Biden of being a segregationalist, but then agrees to run with him. Either she faked her allegation against Biden, or she's faking now.
She faked her position in favor of Medicare for all, until it became upopular. Then she opposed it.
She produced a fake, edited video about what Brett Kavanaugh said about birth-control. She got caught faking Brett's statements.
She once acted tough on crime, but that too was fake. During her race for the presidency, she agreed with a speaker who said the police "serve the rich and then they just harass and take up space in poor communities."
Every once in a while, long-hold views of the Democrats and Republicans genuinely shift. So it is with which party represents the rich. It used to be the Rs. It’s increasingly becoming the Ds, as shown by the D attempt to restore the SALT deduction. wsj.com/articles/the-l…
Ds want rich people to get an unlimited deduction for all their state and local taxes paid, in addition to raising how much they can deduct for mortgages on expensive homes. Rs capped it at $10k in 2017.
Lower-income, blue-collar Americans are increasingly becoming Rs. Wealthy, college-educated people are increasingly becoming Ds.
12 states will attempt new voting procedures in 2020. All are risking doing harm to the integrity of the election if things go wrong, as they did in the June NY primary, where the surge in mail voting led to 25% of the ballots being rejected in one race. The normal rate is 1%.
CA, DC, VT and NV will for the first time mail actual ballots to all voters. It took WA years to do this right. These 4 states are rushing to get it done. It is fraught with risk, especially if an election is close and ballot harvesting is allowed.
No state previously mailed absentee ballot applications to all voters in a general election. This year, DE, IL, MD, MA, MI, WI, IA, and OH will try it. It’s what NY tried in the June primary, overwhelming an unprepared system. These 8 states should NOT do this.
