Even if these irregularities were proven to be fraudulent, coordinated and orchestrated, would they have made any difference to the electoral college results?
None of the big swings in metropolitan areas brought any extra Electoral College votes for Biden. But he still came out ahead.
This has echoes of the UK Labour Party under First Past the Post, piling up massive swings and majorities in big cities, and relying heavily on the postal vote with immigrants, but still losing to the Tories over and over again.
The UK Electoral Reform Society commented,
“In a democracy, the location of your voters shouldn’t be more important than their number. Sadly, under first past the post style systems like the Electoral College, the democratic will of the people, clearly expressed, can be overruled by the arbitrary geographic rules of ‘winner’ takes all.”
The Tories complain about the leftists using fraud, but as long as they’re winning with OR without the fraud, there’s no reason to fix the problem.
I wonder if there’s an element of similar thinking in the US political system. Even if they did acknowledge widespread fraud, there’s no guarantee the fraud did affect the result, and it’s not in the Democrats’ interest to prove that Trump only lost because of fraud.
If they could prove he’d have lost anyway, the pressure would be on reforming the Electoral College and that’d be a bigger problem for the Democrats.
