Hi, Frank, Ive not read your writings lately. Could not pass up your headline today. I have had some of the same thoughts about how to feel about not being able to tolerate people I love and care about. Your article is as the previous commenter said, complete, accurate and non biased. Im going to repost hoping to amplify it. It is so real, so what we are feeling right now and we need to know we are all in this together. I do everything I know to do to stop this train before it kills our country. Many days it feels hopeless. Your words strengthen my anger which is the most protective emotion we have. Your words inspire me to get up off the floor and keep pushing even if I don't know if my actions will make any difference. Sometimes it feels that way. Keep up the fight, Frank. We need you.

Your post is exhaustively complete, and it doesn’t exaggerate an iota. The group called MAGA is so destructive to all goodness and reason, that it is close to impossible to describe. You’ve done it well though, and yeah, fuck ‘em. What else can be done? We can only hope for them to come to their senses.

I think you do unnecessarily.

Note: The Biden admin imprisoned an awful lot of people for voter fraud crimes from that 2020 election with which you said there was no problem. And they were all Democrats.

unlikely if they hadn't done big bad things.

As I noted in the article, Rudy Giuliani who claimed election clerks had used "fake ballots" lost his defamation case, Fox News who claimed Dominion Systems had "flipped votes" lost their defamation case, Newsmax was found in court to have made "false defamatory statements" about Dominion and lost their case and Dinesh D'Souza from "2000 Mules" who claimed people had used false "mail in ballots" lost his case. The "Ballot Audit" in Arizona confirmed that Joe Biden had won that election. Further, Trump lawyers Kenneth Chesebro, Sidney Powell and Jenna Ellis were all convicted of conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election in Trump's favor.

There were no credible cases of voter fraud brought to trial that could have changed the outcome of the election, but that doesn't mean there wasn't any fraud at all. As of 2022, Newsweek did an analysis of voter fraud cases related to the 2020 election. They found one case involving a Democrat, but the majority of cases involved Republicans.

"These included three Florida residents alleged to have cast multiple ballots and a Pennsylvania man who admitted he had registered his dead mother.

In October 2021, a Republican supporter from Nevada who claimed that someone else voted using his dead wife's name was himself charged with voter fraud, after prosecutors said he had submitted the fraudulent ballot.

These well-publicized cases have drawn plenty of attention, but Dash Dobrofsky is wrong to claim Democratic party supporters are entirely fault-free when it comes to voter fraud.

Admittedly, the numbers here are very low. Newsweek has found one known case of a Biden voter charged with voter fraud; Kelvin Bolton, a prisoner in North Florida, said he voted for the U.S. president following a series of prisoner outreach efforts of the Alachua County Supervisor of Elections."
