It is about the Party. The GOP didn't learn anything from the attempted steal in 2000, or they chose not to learn anything. There were times they had control over both Houses and The White House during these past 20 years, and did nothing about election reform. They knowingly let the 2020 steal go by without batting an eyelash, or even admitting fraud took place. If your own party leaders, and officials refuse to admit that fraud is an ongoing problem, and that it's only getting worse, why accept that behavior, and continue to be a member of that party? They don't respect you or me enough to even want to protect our votes, because they take us for granted. They only know us when they want something from us. The rest of the time we don't exist.
Right now the fraud has been concentrated on MAGA candidates. Wait until they switch to a general steal from every GOPer from RINO to MAGA - all. Then the GOPE will get upset.
You just now learning this? I learned it long, long ago. The GOP hold their voting base in far deeper contempt than the Democrats hold theirs.
