I just want to mention one other point on this election fairness topic.

In life there are times when things matter, but where the perception matters more than the actual thing.

This is one of those times.

You can have fair votes all day long, but if the votes are not perceived to be fair, actual fairness is irrelevant.

I'm going to tell you that even though most Trump supporters have acquiesced, most perceive the election not to have been fair. Some for the wrong reasons, but it doesn't matter: Perception is truth in this instance.

Election officials have a responsibility to deliver fair elections but also the appearance of fairness. You cannot have truly fair elections without the perception. And they failed -- nothing about these elections appeared to be fair. IMO, because it was not fair, but I understand as partisans you cannot afford allow your mind to take you there. You would have to admit Biden was wrongly elected, and that is insanely hard for people to do.

So, that's where we'll likely stay until the proof is undeniable.
