Trump won by more than the margin of fraud.
As does the number of illegal voting in California alone
It has been my privilege to work with many people of extremely high intelligence, including some when they were children. I saw this phenomenon often—people of very high intelligence say something that seems readily apparent to them (who can make a very rapid mental conclusion from a vastly larger set of data points than the average person), and the average folks around them go crazy, denounce them, call them all kinds of names and try to banish or destroy them.
Whether it's the nerd kids in the science club or debate team or the PhDs in research labs, the tensions between the genius people and the middle managers holding the reins of organizational power are often a saga of wasted opportunity so that the mediocre could feel better about themselves.
Catherine Drinker Bowen's 1974 biography of Benjamin Franklin, The Most Dangerous Man in America, described this phenomenon, how Franklin's multi-faceted practical genius (rarely equalled even today) was loathed by popinjays eager to defeat his seemingly simple but stunningly accurate wisdom in complex situations.
But as our wise Founders James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, George Washington and others observed, intellect ungrounded by morality is a great danger. It's been wonderful to see the Christian community coming around Trump to support, encourage and teach him.
I didn't post this article to bewail the election, which Trump won by superior strategy, great personal sacrifice, extremely arduous campaigning and a compelling message. I posted it because it points up how necessary it is to correct this situation that has become glaringly corrupt, and that Trump has appointed a person with past success in this arena to lead the work. Try to keep up.
Good point! Tip of the iceberg...
Each of your four paragraphs, carefully read and digested one by one, hits the proverbial nail smack-dab on the head.

That is a great compromise suggestion! The only downside is that Michigan would have then have sharia law in a number of jurisdictions, but it's an idea worth a deep analysis.
I’m truly delighted you love Doc Martin!!! Such a character, brilliantly played. The actor Martin Clunes is not like that at all in real life.
So, you're comfortable with this degree of shoddy, reckless or easily manipulated bookkeeping, now that we have between 11 and 40 million illegals in the country? (No one really knows how many of them, either.) Yet if the IRS thinks you owe many more dollars than your trusted accountant said, you would just send them the money, no questions asked?
Wow!
Thanks for your thoughtful post #58. You identified a lot of key aspects to this problem. I do believe there is already a network in place to mobilize fraudulent voting — the left has been working on this at least since Dubya’s first election, funded in no small part by Soros, Ayers and the Chicago politimob.
Speaking of data analysis, did you see the chart at the link in publius911’s post 54?
You are correct. Due to the assault over the past 60 years on the religion that was once the founding moral backbone of the nation, we can no longer count on people doing the right thing; hence now there is a clear need for a Federal corrective action.
Bless you, girl.
Pass a law that voter fraud results in loss of all federal benefits (SS, Medicare, Medicaid, Welfare, SNAP, and if an immigrant immediately deported).
That will solve multiple problems.
Well put, and very correct.
The local college back in 2008 had a group of students who boasting about voting in FL, and then voting back in their old state.
What Albion said.
It's election fraud. I don't know how many voted twice, and neither do you.
It's election fraud. Please stop minimizing it.
Obviously, the most basic way to begin is to purge the voter rolls at least once every four years and I am aware many states will not do so and in others, the courts have prohibited the practice.
Trump was projected to lose the popular vote and he did. The polls were correct. Since Trump lost many of the blue states in landslide proportions, such as California, the likelihood he lost a state because of vote fraud is perhaps limited to NH, but it did not change the outcome of the election.
Even if California had 1 million illegally cast votes, Trump still would have lost California in a landslide.
And it works both ways, too. I recall in Iowa, a woman was arrested for voting for Trump twice. No one posts about that one, since it does not fit their own biased narratives.
