A group of prominent conservatives released a new report Thursday outlining their investigation into the 2020 election and have concluded former President Trump's claims of a stolen election are unfounded. 

The report, "LOST NOT STOLEN: The Conservative Case that Trump Lost and Biden Won the 2020 Presidential Election," was put together by three former federal judges and eight conservative leaders who investigated Trump's claims. 

Over the course of a year, the group looked at all 64 cases of the Trump campaign's fraudulent claims in six key states and concluded that there were no substantial instances of fraud that would have changed the election results. The report goes state by state and claim by claim, taking time to investigate each legal case. 

Fears of further damage to the electoral process drove the report, as allegations of fraud continue. Investigators said they fear that Trump supporters' unwillingness to see the election as lost could come back to haunt them if they flip the majority in the House and Senate this cycle. 

"I think there is a lack of recognition that that goes both ways and that, should Republicans take over, you're opening the door for Democrats to say the same thing, … ," Benjamin Ginsberg, an election attorney who has worked in Republican politics for decades, told FOX News. 

Ginsberg, along with former senators John Danforth and Gordon H. Smith and longtime Republican congressional chief of staff David Hoppe, as well as former Solicitor General Ted Olson and former federal appeals court judges Michael Luttig, Michael McConnell and Thomas Griffith concluded that there were no substantial claims of fraud to change the election.

The report acknowledges that changes in voting due to the COVID-19 pandemic could have created opportunity for more fraud but found that was not the case.

I can go on Wordle and it knows the words I played earlier in the day. I paid American Express over the phone yesterday. We have the technology so that everyone can vote securely and privately, and confirm their vote was counted accurately.

If we’re not using that technology, it’s because they don’t want an honest, secure election. Both parties.

So, anyone can read it for themselves. As everyone should, before forming an opinion about it. That's just how logic and reason work.

Or believe what you want. Maybe it's too late. Maybe, no one is left in society at large who cares to think independently, and everyone just regurgitates what they hear/read on their website/blog/podcast of choice. On the right and the left.

May God help us all if that's the case. If there's ever a sign we are indeed in the "end times" it's that: uncritical obedience to one's favorite, an obedience based on feelings not reason. It's how the Devil works. It's his favorite trick: "Nah, YOU aren't wrong, everyone else who disagrees with you is; no reason to even consider you could be wrong"....old as the Garden...
