Don’t think Republicans took away the same lessons as everyone else yesterday. Theirs:

- if you shout about voter fraud enough, many will believe it’s a legit problem

- you can damage Dems with these bogus accusations

- next time nominate complete hacks as state canvassers

Republicans want even casual observers to come away with thinking the 2020 election was scandalous, mismanaged and even fraudulent. Ask yourself if they got that message into the bloodstream and what it means for confidence in future elections and voting rights.

Will this become a casual question for politicians: “As we all know, the 2020 election had plenty of problems, so what would you do to secure our elections in the future?”

You know the answer.
