He was committing the same error the far left is making when accusing him of things and the lawfare. Everything is being thrown at him so they come off as lunatics and just hoping for something to stick. The majority of citizen do not take it seriously and it doesn't move the needle, except in making the left look looney as DJT was desperate to find any sort of election fraud.

I think there were definitely things that impacted the election results, as we learn of with the manipulations of Twitter, Facebook, and suppressing the Hunter laptop story (which 10% of Biden voters admitted would have changed their votes if they knew the laptop was indeed legit). But that is the past. The country needs to learn from it, and fix it in  the future.

I agree voter ID laws need to tighten up, and I question the motives of those who do not want increased security at the ballot box.

Well, in all honesty. I think both parties thrive for election rules that favor them. In general, dems want a high turnout and maybe are willing to change in some security concerns to achieve that goal (I personally think it's about that and not about easing actual fraud, but well what do I know). Republicans want lower turnouts, and so they oppose mail-in or insist on things like voting on a workday or having too few polling locations in certain areas so that people have to wait in line for hours. And both parties do plenty of gerrymandering. It's all a huge mess and I find it difficult to solely blame one party.

Nothing is an excuse to claim widespread fraud and actually having won in a landslide though.
