You know, talk of election fraud was well before Trump, right?
Yes, and it completely misses the point.
Most of us knew she was just being a sore loser, just like Trump.
The problem arises when followers believe their idol’s rhetoric over reality.
For example, let’s pretend there was a groundswell of support for Hillary following 2016 because a lie circulated among her most ardent supporters that the election had been rigged against her all along.
Now, in 2022, after years of buying into and spreading the lie that 2016 was an inside job, what tools do we actually have to combat the resulting entrenched narrative?
What set of election rules need to be changed to fix her followers belief that there was a conspiracy at work against them?
Again, I ask…what expert would they believe?
Although I see a wealth of potential benefits to increasing the transparency of our electoral process, I don’t think it fixes this problem.
