So here's what I desperately want a Trumpist to tell me: if the Democrats actually fixed the election by manufacturing Biden votes and throwing out Trump votes, why were they so incompetent as to let the results fall within the recount margin? If they could manufacture hundreds of thousands of votes at a moment's notice, why didn't they just give Biden a commanding lead in all these borderline states?

I know what the answer is: "the election was rigged" isn't evidence-based, it's an unfalsifiable religious tenet for them. But I want to see them try to explain it.

@noelle I am not a trumpist, nor do I think the election was rigged in any coordinated or massive way. But I can probably answer your question anyway.

Its a style of argument I hear in other topics, and while I agree with your conclusion I think this is a weak point to arrive at that conclusion. In short, it is difficult to execute any sort of fraduelent votes. The more votes you manufacture the harder it is to accomplish. So its reasonable to expect that their maximum level of effort can only achieve a small difference in margin and not a sizable lead, simply due to the limited number of people involved and limited man power.

Consider that we do have legal record of some voting fraud in the past to use as an example. There are many cases we can call on where a person manufactured anywhere from tens to hundreds of votes but didnt have the means to manufacture more than that. One could ask the same question there "If you could produce 100 fraudulent votes why couldn't you produce 10,000!" Resources are limited and just because you can do something at one scale at a fixed amount of resources doesnt imply you can do it at any scale you wish with those same resources.

Hope that helps answer your question.
