People Have To Believe In Fair Elections, 3511

Good Tuesday morning, I’m still reporting on the coup.
The country is in more danger now than at any time since 1865 when 11 states had seceded from the Union and were fighting a war over their right to do so. Today, we are in danger of losing our form of government once again because it depends not only on free and fair elections, but in the belief of the people of both parties that the elections are free and fair.
Right now, we don’t have that because millions of Republicans – and even a significant fraction of Democrats - believe the election was manipulated over the Internet.
The future of the country is now in the hands of the Supreme Court which has agreed to hear three 2020 election cases. Donald Trump has alleged widespread fraud and has amassed sufficient evidence to convince millions of Americans he is right that the election was stolen.
So far, the lower courts have almost universally agreed that once a vote was counted in the 2020 election it is by definition a valid vote. This has not been the attitude of the courts in the past. Election challenges are common and are heard by courts all over the country.
