The interesting thing is, even among those who supported Trump, most of them admit that the election was fair and run well. Well over two-thirds of Americans continue to express confidence in elections. And that's the bad news for the far right. Hence the idea, advanced by republicans that state legislatures have the power to void presidential elections in their states and to appoint their own electors in spite of the will of the voters.

People are leaving the Trump ship but it's working and will work here people we must use technology to counter all this false ballots. Rudy Gulianni has effect but still he's actions won't stop Trump from returning it will be either Donald Trump or his Donald Trump jr. but be assured that a future will happen and if we continue our voice heard it will happen because no voice will be let down and the silent majority is greater before and America has not lost very soon Putin will leave office. We must fight and keep fighting we because our future is still bright and Trump has not given andnoterh has God on America.

Yes, the states appoint electors according to the states rules, other states have no say in how that is done. If Nevada allows dead people to vote by mail, then Texas does not get to interfere in that procedure.

The data show that Donald Trump had the dead voter bloc pretty much to himself. But it wasn't remotely enough to throw the election for him.

There's always that kind of thing, but it just never works very well. Voter suppression and Gerrymandering are much more effective ways of cheating. But often they aren't enough, either.

It's almost as if lying to get one's way was business as usual among Republicans (just look at George Santos, although he's also an idiot), and that no one should be surprised when it's exposed. At least I'm not, anymore.

Not when it's hard for anyone other than the two dominant parties to run in all 50 states. So I don't consider it fair when it comes to who can run. This would severely limit our options. It always seems like I'm voting for the lesser of two evils.
