There is no faith in elections from Republicans these days. Join the club. Lefties have felt that way forever.
Is there voter fraud? Of course. 327 million people live here, so there must be some. You can come up with plenty of anecdotes. But even if you somehow assume 1,000,000 fraudulent votes are cast and even if you make the dubious assumption that all of those 1 million votes were cast to aid democrats, it would not amount to more than 1% of the vote. Therefore, no one has shown that voter fraud is significant enough to be anything other than an excuse to enact voter ID laws that aim to exclude minorities with "surgical precision" as in for example NC ( https://www.ca4.uscourts.gov/Opinion...d/161468.P.pdf ).
On the other hand, here are the reasons lefties don't trust elections. In my view Trump and future republicans cannot win illegitimately unless...
- there is no pivotal or significant voter ID laws that are likely intentionally discriminatory (for example, like the NC law that was struck down in 2017 and again in 2020),
- there is equally distributed and easy access to polling stations with working equipment and adequate staffing (I don't want to see 4 hour lines in the middle of nowhere for an urban district)
- there is no pivotal or significant gerrymandering,
- there is no pivotal or significant discarding of mail in ballots with underwhelming justification (such as failure to place in a privacy envelope),
- Trump wins because it is the TRUE WILL OF THE PEOPLE, not because he knew how to work the system, and not because he used his power to maintain power,
If all of these things could be true, I would begrudgingly accept elections as legit. I say "begrudgingly", because I still believe it is a travesty of justice that a president can win with a minority of votes, like in 2016.
If any insignificant or non-pivotal combination of these problems occur and amount to a significant difference, all bets are off too.
Of course who knows what other nutty crap this President will pull? For example, they have apparently been discussing having Republican governors override the vote and instead assign their own slate of electors in order to get Trump elected. So I reserve judgment for that, and similar shenanigans.
