Chuck Todd just cut off Sen. Johnson who was raising media bias by saying "I have had enough of this." Johnson was arguing for the creation of a Commission to look at the election which Todd is rejected as entirely unnecessary despite millions who view the election as rigged.
...Todd dismissed a review of the election as akin to holding a hearing on the "moon landing." After an election with an unprecedented reliance on new systems and overwhelming mail in voting, it is hard to see the principled opposition to such a commission.
...The challenge to the electoral votes will fail as did the prior Democratic challenges. However, there is value to having an commission to look at this election and the underlying allegations. I usually oppose such commissions but this is one time where there is a clear value.
...With tens of millions unsure about the election, a comprehensive review and report could help address these questions before the next election. The alternative is to leave these questions to linger and fester in the coming years.
...I do not see the value of a commission doing an audit in ten days however. The value is a deep dive into the allegations for the next election. These are comprehensive issues that should be fully analyzed and addressed. That would likely take a couple years.
...We do not need a commission to determine who was elected in my view. There is no evidence to overturn this election. We need a commission to offer voters a single, comprehensive, and conclusive review of these allegations for the election.
