I get it, Trump a bad man etc etc look from neutral point. This election is not like Daz and isn't whiter than white. Does that mean it was rigged? no does that mean there wasn't some sort of fraud? No. Could it change the election No etc etc Here is the problem the way the officials are going about and acting is helping to fan the flames of this fire. If you want to heal, you need to get everything out in the open let the proper legal process go ahead, not play a game of political ping pong in the courts, because they don't want to touch it. Remember brexit.. swept it away and it will come back harder to bite you.
All of this will be done in time. At the moment the states are on a strict timetable to confirm and validate their vote totals and declare a winner. There is fraud all the time in elections, many of it accidental (like people voting twice because they did a postal vote but then decide to vote on the day instead), however what the authorities need to know for now is whether the scale of those errors/mistakes/deliberate fraud could over turn the result? If you're looking at reports of 30 odd fraudulent votes, there's no point worrying about them now if the winner won by 10,000 votes. Even if all those votes were wrongly included in the initial totals they can't change the result.
It has been noted in this thread, there were some issues, miscounting of votes, vote switching, those machines, for the most part there were sorted yet how on earth did that happen in the first place. Why did they stop counting at 10pm send people away and then restart counting? Why didn't they allow people to watch? In Taiwan its different story, anyone can watch and can count along.
Many of these issues have been brought up by the republicans where they were losing, and not in a "this is fraudulent, it's wrong" manner, in a "this looks weird, just sayin'" manner. It's sole intended audience is people who need a reason to believe they have been cheated in the election. On the immediate days following the election this was clear as day, with different arms of the republican party demanding that it was both unfair and absolutely necessary that votes were continued to be counted, always depending on whether Trump was winning or losing at that point.
Lets just take some of your claims:
- miscounting of votes / vote switching - nothing verified. Lots of complaints from people watching over the internet that they saw votes being altered, but every case that's been looked into has been proven to a) be clarifying a vote that was misread and b) being marked properly in front of both dem and rep monitors.
- how on earth did that happen in the first place - because humans and machines are falliable. There are checks and balances designed into the rules to ensure that those mistakes are detected and corrected. That mistakes show up isn't a problem, it's evidence that the system is working
- Why did they stop counting at 10pm - why should they count through the night if they don't have to? They don't need to confirm their result until much later. Besides, the places where this became a problem were counting like this because the republican controlled authorities had refused permission to change the rules to allow counting of postal votes before the election date.
- Why didn't they allow people to watch? - they did. Many states also streamed their counts online allowing anyone to watch from the comfort of their own home. Covid meant many states restricted numbers or to registered persons, and there were a few cases of people not being allowed in when they should have been, that was often swiftly rectified, but I'm not aware of any counts that were held without any observers.
When people start acting a bit funny, It will always raise an eye brown. Like I said either something fishy is going on or alot of people are heading to jail for lying, This is why this keeps on going around and around.
No, it keeps going around because people want it to keep going around and not following the rules and regulations that were in place at the time of the election. They don't like the result so they are looking for reasons as to why it can be discounted or changed (there are parallels here with the fraud allegations raised by the remain leaning groups after the EU referendum, however none of them attempted to get the results of areas they lost changed to wins because of "reasons").
Which most of which was never kicked out, on they merits but for procedural matter's, which again does not look good.
It only looks bad if you want them to change the result and don't understand the rules. Take the Texas wanting to change the results of four states because Texas doesn't agree with those states' election rules. The courts just said they weren't looking at it because Texas has no rights to challenge those other states' rules. Should California be allowed to overturn Texas' result because it doesn't agree with their election rules? No, it's a nonsense. As long as the rules were put in place fairly and properly, and the rules were followed then there is no case to answer.
TLDR; at the moment the only issues with fraud is if it could change the result of a state election. Nobody has any evidence that suggests this is the case. The small amount of fraud that has happened can be investigated at leisure.
