So you rely on a leftist phony PSA with Debra Messing and quotes from David French to make a point. And, exactly why are any of Trump's court battles and complaints dangerous. People who can't think for themselves will be led astray by either Republicans or democrats. Those people are mostly useless and mostly democrat That's a fact. And, the more quotes from David French and the rest of the Dispatch crew, the less credible you will be. If you want to be a never-Trump website, even at this point, you will soon have the audience you desire.

I think you’re making my point for me.

What is this danger you speak of?

The danger is overturning an election using legal subterfuge and political arm twisting. The fact that it cannot work doesn’t make trying any less bad.

All I hear is legitimate concerns mixed in with a bit hyperbole from both sides of the question. I do not see the danger that has the never-Trumps hysterical and the democrats and media spewing talking points.

My point is that Republicans are supporting an effort they know is doomed to fail. The issues with the elections deserve attention but there is simply no conspiracy to rig the election for Biden. The theories on Dominion and vote changing advanced by Trump and his supporters are simply false.

At this point I can see why it is doomed to fail. A month ago there were questions raised about the legitimacy of many thousands of votes especially in Pennsylvania and Georgia. In PA the question pertained to voting deadlines and voting law changes by unconstitutional methods and could involve a hug number of votes. PA officials even disregarded an order from Justice Alito to keep certain mail-in records separated.

In GA, 12,000 votes would be hardly a blip in the voting totals from metro Atlanta. I believe a few talented grifters (especially if they were voting officials or clerks) could come up with thousands of mail-in ballots to submit illegally. All it would have taken to alleviate serious concerns would be a signature audit in a dozen counties. Our Secretary of State chose not to do that.

So, locked out of the courts by gutless judges running out the clock, concerned and involved individuals have no choice but to complain loudly and even unpleasantly. It did not have to be this way if the courts and election official had given the matter attention consistent with the importance of a presidential election.

By the way, I never gave the Dominion conspiracy much consideration. It is possible but it would be risky and Dominion IT personnel would have to be involved in each and every targeted precinct.
