Indeed. The DemocRATS can’t cheat if it isn’t close.

You’re assuming a LEGIT election. I don’t think that is what Soros is saying. There is nothing in the Constitution nor in federal law saying Electors have to vote with their own party, and only 27 states have state laws requiring such. The majority of Electors are actually free to vote in any manner they choose, regardless of popular vote. They vote along party lines now only as a matter of custom, not law.

If enough Electors can be bribed, thus Soros’ “paid Electorate”, then the popular vote can be effectively nullified. Trump could win the popular vote be a wide margin, but still lose a fixed Electoral Vote. The Dems know it would cause in immediate uproar among the “little people”, but would eventually be accepted and forgotten. It really isn’t much of a risk in their point of view.
