But between the years I've lived and the history I've read, I do not know of any presidential election that corruption even at a fraction of what happened in 2020. But I will go a step beyond that and say the level of corruption was far bigger than most voters know even today because of the absolute refusal of the media to report on it. For that, I'd refer you to Mr. Berliner's piece from the last couple weeks. One thing that is important to remember -- returning to the casino count room analogy (because it is a good one). If there are inadequate controls, the extent of the cheating (corruption) is unknown. Definitionally. Since, it is the existence of adequate controls that puts the public on notice the cheating or corruption is occurring. If you do not have adequate controls the cheating likely will go undiscovered. As a CPA I called a physician's office who was a new client multiple times requesting copies of the savings account bank statement. It was a small account, not a big deal, but our office's practice was to reconcile all bank accounts monthly. She had refused to provide those statements, saying she would then not doing it. It went on for a few months, before I went directly to the doctor and said, "I must have these bank statements and I'm not getting them." Long story short, the woman who was the manager was subsequently perp-walked out of the practice a few weeks later, having been found to have taken some $80,000 over the course of a few years. The reason this happened is because the previous CPAs had not been reconciling all accounts routinely. They simply were in the dark. If you don't have some reason to suspect wrongdoing, no one is going to know it happened. Because the people who do this stuff are as good as their job as you are at yours. They are ruthless, smooth, and efficient. And when you have been had, you aren't going to just know it without actually paying attention. I pay attention. I get the idea you don't.
