Show me actual evidence that there was enough fraud to swing the results in even one state — or even *close* to swinging the results — and I'll take this seriously.

That's all I ask.
Just to clarify:
• Not having as many observers as you want as votes are counted is not fraud.
• Unsubstantiated and unquantified accusations are not proof of fraud. Neither are debunked ones.
Oh, yes, I meant to add that sworn affidavits that don't actually show any fraud are also not germane to my point.
This reliance on "affidavits" is funny. I can swear under oath that I believe that an alien stole my cat. That doesn't mean an alien stole my cat.
"There is nobody here who engages in fantasies," Giuliani says right after saying that Venezuelan politicians changed the results the U.S. election.
Then he revisits this nonsensical conspiracy theory. washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/…

Ah, McEnany — a government employee — is still hyping this Post-it note which *two weeks ago* a judge dismissed as hearsay.
And lo, he hath brought receipts. michigan.gov/documents/ag/2… ImageImage
It's not just that it's nonsense, it's *proven* nonsense. Meaning essentially all of it.

Guys, believe it or not, it just got more insane.
The vote for President Trump was 'so overwhelming' that it 'broke the algortihm' that had been programmed, we are told by ... Michael Flynn's attorney. This was a function of 'communist money.'

Totally bonkers and nonsensical.

As I was typing this, Soros was looped in.
If your goal is to present a believable case for how the election results are suspect, you should not have Sidney Powell offering up theories that would make Alex Jones be like "maybe dial it back".

For the next two minutes, if you reply to this with the name of a state I will tell you if it has too many, too few or just the right number of counties.

So, 1) there's a lengthy public comment period...
That appears to have been the order of events.

One out of every 11 coronavirus cases confirmed at any point this year has been confirmed in the last week. washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/…
I'm going to keep reiterating this graphic over and over and over until it's not constantly displaying new peaks in daily new cases. washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/…
Yeah, it is a real mystery why anyone would prefer a system of developing immunity which doesn’t pose a significant risk of health problems or death to one that does.

Biden didn't "take the lead" and saying he "took the lead" bolsters Trump's false claims about something sketchy happening. washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/…
Here's how the "lead" in Pennsylvania looks depending if you count from best-to-worst counties for Trump or best-to-worst for Biden. It's all artificial! Both land in the same place. washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/… Image
How polished a professional am I? In a hit for a TV program in India, I gave up my default example of relaying football scores as an analogy for counting votes and used cricket instead.
