Isn't it strange that all the noise about election fraud suddenly stopped? In the months leading up to the election, election deniers were all over the news. Thousands of self-appointed election observers were at the ready, proudly displaying their III Percenter tattoos. Armed gangs of right-wingers were "guarding" ballot boxes to prevent "cheating".
And what did they see? They saw a smooth, efficient election take place right under their noses. They didn't find discarded ballots. There were no boxes of fake ballots from China. No busloads of paid voters. No telltale bamboo shavings.
And now? Silence. What do they now think of all the election fraud hype they were pumped full of before the election by the likes of Steve Bannon. Are they even thinking about the fact that they were played like a violin, yet again.

@shuttersparks you'd think there would have been, given every SoS election denier lost. Most of Trump's anointed lost. Trump lost
And maybe they're happy about that, except how to actually get rid of Trump is gonna be painful
@shuttersparks I think what silenced them is that most of the loudest election fraud advocates lost pretty badly.
Their overall intent is that anyone who doesn't vote for them shouldn't be allowed to vote, and claiming election fraud is their way to achieve that goal. I don't think they've given up that goal.
