There's a lot of talk about Republicans focusing on voter fraud. I think that a lot of the talk about voter fraud is wildly overheated. I'm also noticing that the same media decrying such overheated talk are rabidly repeating that voter suppression is a major issue. It is not.
We are going to see record voting this year. More votes than prior presidential elections by leaps and bounds. Standing in line to vote and then voting is not voter suppression. Driving to a drop-off box and voting is not voter suppression.
Courts ruling that executive branch officials cannot unilaterally rewrite election law (Minnesota) or that state courts cannot unilaterally override statute simply because of covid (Wisconsin) is not voter suppression.
In other words, whoever wins the election, Biden or Trump, will be legitimately elected, barring extraordinary circumstances. Those extraordinary circumstances have simply not been proved in advance. The evidence isn't there.
The media are correct to critique Republicans who argue that if Trump loses, it's because of voter fraud. The simultaneous willingness of the media to promote a narrative that "if Trump won, votes were suppressed" is disgusting.
