This is true - in desperation they burned up a lot of their best "single use" tactics in 2020.
Too many conservatives were still naive in 2020 and thought there was no possible way some of those single-use tactics would ever be attempted. After all, "Old Bea down at the county office" was a nice lady and an honest Democrat and would never do anything like that. Right? Right...?
One scenario I imagine repeated itself a thousand times in 2020:
The masterminds of the steal knew that the voter registrations were full of illegitimate names because they had deliberately blocked efforts to clean them up and purge them. They knew that these illegitimate names would receive mail in ballots because, using Covid as a pretext, they had sent them to EVERYONE, not just those who had actually requested them.
Because they had done this, the masterminds of the steal knew that the post offices would be flooded with all the mail-in ballots returned as undeliverable.
They knew these undeliverable ballots would be a gold mine for counterfeiting ballots because, since they did not represent actual voters who would vote in person, there would be no actual voter coming forward to blow the whistle.
So, when post office officials asked election officials what they were supposed to do with all these hundreds of thousands of mail-in ballots returned as undeliverable, they probably didn’t think much of it when election officials offered to take them off their hands.
These collected ballots wound up at NGO clearing houses, and were packed up and distributed to drop boxes by paid mules, or trucked directly to precinct counting houses.. and only a few people in the chain knew what really happened to these ballots at the NGO clearing houses.
What really happened at the NGO clearing houses was that they were completed for Biden - but only a few people needed to be involved in the actual counterfeiting.
The vast majority of postal workers, truckers, even the paid mules - had no idea they were trafficking in or enabling the counterfeiting of ballots.
This scenario and other similar scenarios unfolded thousands of times in 2020 with 99% of the people participating oblivious of the counterfeiting operation they were part of.
In the months following tje 2020 steal, none of these oblivious people faced any legal consequences - but you can be sure a lot of them sweated it out as they heard the many allegations and realized what they had been duped into doing.
In 2024, no one will be oblivious and it will be much harder to recruit useful idiots.
