Simple, they miscalculated the amount of vote fraud they would need.
Hopefully, the Trump admin makes cleaning up the rigged election system a priority.
Sigh.....
Look I’ve been telling folks this since before the election.. knock it off with the fraud nonsense.... Is there fraud in Philly? Yep, but it hasn’t been what’s cost R’s PA since 1988.. its CRAPPY CANDIDATES who could not play here.... just that simple...
Did fraud happen? sure, it happens every election... There was fraud when Kerry got 3M votes, Fraud when Obama got 3.3M votes, Fraud when Obama got 3M votes and Fraud when Hillary got 2.9M votes.... I am all for cleaning up Fraud, but its not what caused R’s to lose here... Dems can’t manufacture 300k of fraud.. sorry folks, they cant, and that’s what R’s have lost by consistently... They lose by those margins because they have put up folks who DON’T PLAY HERE!
The reality is the realignment of the working class in the upper midwest has been LONG overdue... but it could not and would not happen until Republicans gave them a reason to... and as long as they were embracing globalist policies like open borders and “free trade” the realignment would not happen... folks would just disengage rather than change parties.... R’s weren’t going to reject the globalist policies because their money men would not let them... so D’s kept winning PA.
Now, I am all for exposing the fraud in the system, but folks are smoking some very good stuff if they think D’s are finding 300k+ of fraud, they aren’t!
Fraud in PA is probably somewhere in the multiple 10s of thousands... 50kish most likely on the highest most aggressive figures... Even in those notorious 2012 results where 50some districts in Philly all went Obama without a single Romney vote... all those districts combined only added up to 20,000 total votes, and Romney would not have gotten anything more than 10% of those on the most kind estimates....
I am all for cleaning it up, but need to stop blaming fraud.... Fact is PA hasn’t been close in a long long time, and the reason has been the stand the party has had and the candidates it has run... Same with most of the rest of the upper mid west. Trump has shown the way.. hopefully future republicans won’t be stupid and learnfrom it.... because the Midwest should be as solidly republican as the south in just a few cycles sans MN and IL if the republicans don’t do anything stupid.
