Well, I don't know about fraud.

But it doesn't matter.

In the US, for purposes of presidential elections, fraud can only be prosecuted for two months following election day, after which, if it hasn't been, you just got away with it.

A sort of "effective statute of limitations". You get the president you had on Jan 20.

I see why it is this way, actually -- you cannot have the presidential election going on for years after the president takes office. That wouldn't make sense.

But that limited period to bring claims was before we had all this cheating going on. Private individuals bringing 100s of millions of dollars to bear on lowly election officials, almost all of whom claim to be impartial, and I'd hazard a guess they're mostly Democrats.

At any rate, we're stuck with this crazy for a few more years. It'll be interesting to see what unfolds.
