Contesting Election Results

 WHEN I WAS a mere lad of thirty seven, in 1992, I ran for city council. My opponent, a very nice teacher lady, got about 8,800 votes, and I, poor I, but five thousand five hundred and seventy nine, roughly. I narrowly lost, sixty one percent to thirty nine percent. She was a liberal, and I even more so, I campaigned, and she even harder so.I musta put about a thousand pamphlets on car windshields before I found out it was not legal to do so in our town. Oh, well. I had a public access TV talk show at the time, of a political nature, radical left, and I kept talking her up, telling my large and loyal audience that they couldn't lose, that no matter which of us they voted for, they were sure to get a good council member. that might have been my biggest mistake, nobility. Several of my fellow local election losers suspected massive electoral fraud, and collectively filed a lawsuit with the election board. without my knowledge or permission, they included my name on the suit. I acceded, but refused to help pay the lawyer, which I thought was fair. The one irregularity I noticed was that if you added up the total number of votes for me and my opponent, and then added up the total number of votes for everybody who ran for mayor, the vote total in our council race was somewhat greater, which I thought strange. Why would anyone vote in our council contest, but not bother to even vote for a mayoral candidate? Long story short, we lost the lawsuit, which was summarily dismissed by the judge for, you guessed it, lack of evidence. I thought the lawyer was incompetent. I still think the election was fishy. On that basis it could be argued that I have no reason to complain about Donald Trump or his millions of supporters complaining about the presidential election.Trump and his Trumpettes, trumpeting fraud. I beg to differ. In fact I demand to differ. In our election, there were truly man reasons for suspicion. For one, the irregular vote count in my council race. there were others, but I forget now. All the radical candidates lost, and all the Chamber of Commerce establishment types won, under strange circumstances. but in Trump's case there aint a damned bit of evidence to support the outrageous claims.In court, in forty lawsuits, Trump's lawyers keep getting throw out of court and ridiculed by judges that were appointed by Trump. They are like, oh and forty. That alone should tell you something. If there was massive nationwide fraud, wouldn't there be some evidence of it that Trump's lawyers would have presented in court by now? Trumpers, just give it up, and try again in 2024. Enough is enough, already.
