I just think the dems painted themselves in a corner by arguing there is no way someone could ever rig the general. The left was not built on the foundation of, "we trust the government."

Even the continued reluctance to implement some sort of election security reform is misfounded. Sure, voter suppression is a thing and we can't let our fear cause us to misstep but at the same time just because you haven't found election fraud doesn't mean it does not exist. The point of the fraud would be to go undetected. If they aren't caught, well damn, looks like it's working.

How would someone even go about investigating election fraud? You can't petition every state. No one would trust a private entity to fund it. If you even suggest that the machines are rigged the manufacturer will sue the shit out of you.

It's just another reason the DNC is a sunk cost. These absolute positions they hold are actually gaping vulnerabilities.
