“3 in 10 Americans falsely believe the election was riddled with fraud”

BUT, another 6 in 10 Americans KNOW the election was fraudulent.

It depends on how one defines “riddled”. The Rats knew that they only had to cheat by a few thousand votes...perhaps 1% of the votes cast...in three or four states. And...viola!...they found three candidates which had filthy,Trump hating Rat Governors (PA,MI,WI) and one with a Swamp Creature RINO Governor (GA).

“...amateur affidavits aren’t credible evidence...”

Definition of affidavit - a written statement confirmed by oath or affirmation, for use as evidence in court.

but a fake dossier originating with the Clinton campaign is credible enough to throw the country into a tizzy for 3 years; fake charges of “sexual misconduct” are credible enough to smear a Supreme Court nominee; “anonymous’ sources are credible enough to smear someone for days, weeks, months or even years; quotes taken out of context are credible enough of repeat over and over again for years.

All of the above was used by the WaPo and all the other outlets for the last 5 years, and now they are saying “amateur affidavits” aren’t credible. Notice that none of the stuff that the WaPo found credible was confirmed by oath or affirmation.

It’s maddening that there’s no way to leave a comment or to contact the writer of this story at the WP. They should also run a poll on how many leftists still believe that Trump colluded with Russia to win the election. It was a hoax and a lie, and one that the WP fully participated in.

There is no credible evidence of any significant fraud in the 2020 presidential election.

Note the careful weasel words bolded above. There is no "credible" (to whom? Who decided this?) evidence of any "significant" fraud - (what does "significant" mean? And who decided that?)

A more honest author would have admitted that there is considerable evidence of a good deal of election fraud, even more evidence of a "significant" cover-up of which this article is one piece, and conclusive evidence that the media never did, and are never going to, investigate the matter.

numbers are polled as

70-80% of Republicans

40-50% Independents

30-40% of Democrats.

Feel the election was fraudulent and stolen

that averages out to just under 50% of the American pubic.

President Grifter Darkwinter and Congress do not have the consent of the governed.

I have a prediction: only about 65 million people will vote for Biden in 2024. Of course, his opponent will only get about 62 million so biden will win.

And no one will find anything strange in that massive reduction in votes compared to the number of votes for each candidate in 2020.

"The Daily Gaslight"

This one's from a simpleton whose degree in philosophy enables him to explain Dominion computer systems and software to us mouth-breathing Trump supporters who have actual computer degrees.

Even the Wisconsin Supreme Court agreed about 210,000 votes from mostly Democrat counties (Dane and Milwaukee) were illegal.

Do you have a link to that story?

“Definition of affidavit - a written statement confirmed by oath or affirmation, for use as evidence in court.”

In court, the affidavit and person making such is open to cross examination.

A sworn affidavit, in of itself, is not proof. At least until it stands up to cross examination.

I believe 79 million voted for Trump.
I would say more like 6 in 10 believe or know this election was stolen. We reviewed the evidence and are not idiots like democrats think we are.
Biden supporters mostly are created and fake.

If you think Joe Biden legitimately got over ten million more votes than Barak Obama did you must be kidding.

I know there was a lie about a water main break so they could kick out the observers. I saw the lie broadcast live on election night. They said they were stopping counting for the night. They didn’t. They pulled out boxes of hidden ballots and ran the same piles through the machines multiple times. I saw the videos. I don’t give crap about the lying rewrites. I saw what happened and I saw our media, courts and lifetime politicians ignore it and then tell me I didn’t see what I saw. They can kiss my ass. This election was fraudulent.
