I believe all sides agree it was a book keeping error, and did not move the needle on anyone voting for or against DJT.
It is a momentary label his opponents get to slap on him for the election, which was the point of everything, along with keeping him from being able to campaign.
The nation sees it. The news day should be overflowing with the TDS crowd reveling in the guilty verdicts.
This is a pretty naive take. The polling we have seen shows that, yes, 75-80% of voters will not change their positions on Trump based on this. However, in a race this close, that 20-25% on the margins will make a difference. Will they be swayed? Uncertain at this point. We will see what comes out in the next few weeks. Right now the right wing media and the Trump campaign are playing defense by making the claims that are the basis for what you say here. It's their job to say these things, so I don't begrudge them, but it also isn't necessarily reality.
