    I mean, literally the first one I looked into, the 17k votes in Arizona. Here's the fact check:

    There is no evidence that thousands of duplicate ballots were discovered in Maricopa County. There are no credible news reports about such a finding and a 2021 Republican-backed audit of the election found no evidence of fraud.

    The same audit found there were 17,126 duplicate images of ballot envelopes – not actual ballots. The post appears to be conflating those two.

      Ok, also looked at the 1200 election fraud convictions. It looks like:

      In 2012 there were 63.

      In 2016 there were 65.

      In 2020 there were 18.

      That is from the Heritage Foundation's own database that sums all 1200 election fraud convictions over the years.

        Ok Zuckbucks, the WSJ found it was not about fraud and that it "did not affect the 2020 election", and the FEC (split with members of both parties) unanimously found no wrong doing.

          That's what is tried and convicted. How many do you think are never caught, let alone tried?

          That's one question. The other question is what level of fraud are you comfortable with?

            I'm comfortable knowing that there always has been, and always will be, some negligible level of fraud by voters on both sides.

            I am glad to see 2020 was the most secure and audited election EVAH and audits actually found Biden had more votes when re-counted and found more fraud activity by Trump voters than Biden voters.

            Did I want Biden to win? No. But it is far more alarming that the loser created this massive election distrust fake narrative and refusal to accept the reality that he lost a "most popular" contest. That is much more of a threat to our country than a few attempts at double voting.

                  Quite the strawman (or should I say, straw-men) to chase, LOL.

                  No one wants fraud, obviously. My point is it will always happen to some negligible degree, by both sides... but the bigger danger is a President who makes up a narrative because he lost, and now years later people are still trying to make claims that have been debunked BY republican audits!

                    Yeah, but the follow-up to the last election more closely resembled somebody having a public melt-down over his wife cheating with every player in the Dallas Cowboys when what she actually did was say 'That Bobby Ewing is quite good-looking'.

                    I was only joking

                      Here's the issue that you keep missing...Trump isn't making anything up. He believes he was cheated. He vigorously pursued every legal and political avenue he could to be reelected. But at the end of the day, even believing he was rooked, we had a mostly peaceful transfer of power. You can argue that if you wish.

                      You want to keep that cheat argument from going anywhere? You run the fairest elections on the planet. Yet, some fight actively against things like voter ID, same day registration or noncitizens voting.

                      We can do better. We must do better.

                      Or one day, there will be a reckoning.

                        The doctor's analogy above is quite fitting. I chuckled.

                        Yes Trump vigorously pursued every legal and political avenue he could to be reelected keep Biden from being sworn in. When he realized it was too late, mostly because his false election fraud narratives helped inspire a storming of the Capitol, he didn't even attend the inauguration. What class.

                        Yes we can do better, in fact we ARE doing better. There is less fraud now than ever before. The only reckoning will be built on falsehoods, similar to Jan 6.

                        Too bad Trump didn't just say "Oh well, I lost and you'll see what you get with Sleepy Joe. I'll see you again in 4 years." and honestly... he'd probably win in 2024. But after his antics, all I can imagine is he's lost voters and gained none. We'll see, I've been wrong before!

                              That would actually tend to suggest there was a fair amount of uncaught/unprosecuted fraud in 2020.

                                    I’m sorry I hold the president to a slightly higher standard of attendance when it’s his office he’s transitioning to the next person. It’s a sacred tradition. Would’ve gone a long way had he attended after what he incited.

                                      He was not the first. John Adams was.

                                      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                                        Yeah I know, the two Adams (200 years ago) and the disgraced Andrew Johnson. Good argument for Trump to skip.
