Finding Fraud Part I
IT IS WELL DOCUMENTED and known that American elections are fair and free, essentially fraud free. If there is any silver lining to the great election lie and scandal of 2020, it is this: elections have been and are being so scrupulously monitored and recounted that even though actual fraud was vanishingly rare beforehand, it is most definitely nonexistent now. And yet, on lives the great Trump election lie of 2020, in the hearts and presumably minds of the millions of defeated but undeterrred Trump faithful. The damage has been done, damage to American democracy, where there may ever again be an electon with results beyond question. The recent midterms, like the presidential election of 2020, were a great disappointment to Republicans, who are probably still wondering where the great "red wave" went. In Houston, Texas, Harris County, one of the nation's largest population centers, Democrats, who donimate Houston as they do most large cities, won big, too big, in the hearts, minds of gun shy Republicans. Noadays, any election lost by any Republican for any office anywhere in the country is suspect; it may have been stolen! Governor Greg Abbott, as good an election denier as anyone, formally launched a "criminal investigation" into the Houston election results. The process will probably take a fair amount of time; good luck waiting. Truly, the Governor is making a mountain out of a molehole. Why a "criminal" investigation? Nobody has shown any evidence of any criminal activity. Wouldn't a simple recount have been sufficient? Probably so, but a simple recount would have been far less dramatic, without any nefarious implications concerning the possibility of massive, widespread fraud, the sort of fruad Republicams love to talk about but for which they never seem to have any evidence. States in which Republicans control state government, places like, for instance, Texas, have already implemented a variety of measures intended t make it more difficult to vote, the stated intention being to eliminate all possibility of fraud. But that doesn't seem to be enough. Welcome to the new era in Amerian politics where every election is questioned, and every election promises to become an extended legal battle. Its sad, but true. Tragically, its all unnecessary, precipitated by the twisted, depraved hunger for power of one very immoral man.
