2016 wasn’t really fair. Our pink nazi rulers just got careless, over confident and they made the mistake of believing their own lies.
When the Dems stole the election in 1960 it was electorally close and they got away with it. The election of 2012 was also stolen and they tried to steal 2016 but underestimated Trumps popularity. From now on they will steal any close election.
I think you are right. Someone goofed and flipped the “override to win” switch the wrong way.
