Disproving the Lie

THE MOST BLATANT LIE ever told was Trump's big election lie. Nothing has ever been more obvious than its falsehood. He and his followers are to be commended on the effectiveness of their deliberate self delusional brainwashing. Weeks before the election, Trump told his daughter Ivanka about his election theft plan. On election night, the moment he famously lied, its falsehood was instantly obvious. For some strange reason Democrats and people of reason have been trying to think of ways to convince the Trump mob that the election was not stolen from them. Nothing has worked. Nothing ever will work. That has been obvious for a very long time. For years, observers have been pointing out to the election deniers that there is not a shred of evidence supporting Trump's election lie. They continue to do so to this day, ineffectively. Any run of the mill Trump supporter, when challenged, can instantly spew forth one conspiracy theory after another, one sensational example of voter fraud after another...all, of course, fabricated. In every swing state, the votes were counted three times, by Republicans, and each time, Biden won, you try to tell them. Again, no impact. It becomes pointelss to even try. However, people keep trying. Trump and the Republicans engaged people to search out and find election fraud in the 2020 eelction. One of them was Ken Block, a data specialist Trump hired in November 2020 to dig deep and either find or fabricate proof, or even evidence, of election fraud. He spent months indeed digging deep,assessing an avalanche of fraud claims, going through records at local precincts, studying every aspect of the momentous election. The entire experience he wrote about in a newly released book with a title longer than the election controvery itself: "Disproven: My Unbiased Search For Voter Fraud For the Trump Campaign,the Data That Shows Why He Lost, and How We Can Improve Our Elections."...The Title says it all, summarizes the book. Step by step, Block show exactly how the election took place, what happened, and that Trump lost, just exactly as officially noted. This book is as persuasive as all the state vote recounts and court trials, sixty of them affirming the election results, lost by Trump. But, unfortunately, that isn't the point. None of it matters. Facts and proof and reason will never persuade Trump's election deniers to abandon their election lie,and come clean. They're too deeply invested, dug in too deep. During his work Ken Block came to realize that the American election system does indeed need reform, an overhaul of sorts. There are simply far too many unnecessary inefficiencies, errors, honest mistakes,and actual instances of fraud to tolerate, when fixes are easily achievable. Block lays out exactly what's wrong and how to fix it, which is this important book's, main value. Election deniers will try to use this reality to claim that election fraud and a stolen election was not only possible, but factual. But they won't be able to, because Block clearly shows that all these flaws in the election system, while very real, could not possibly have had more than a tiny, insignificant impact on the actual election. That won't matter to them either.
