...by Swiftboat liars, "Dubya served" liars, "Saddam attacked us" liars, and far too many voters who didn't have enough brain cells to evaluate the evidence. I've talked to some of them; they thought a man with two Purple Hearts and other medals was a riskier proposition than a man who didn't even show up. They voted for a man whose only success in "real" life - after many failures - was in trading on his father's name to lobby for a sports arena.
I agree with Manjoo that the case for an erroneous election result in Ohio is far from ironclad. I also agree with other readers who have said, essentially, that Republicans certainly TRIED to steal the election.
We need to fully investigate and address attempted fraud wherever it occurred. Success or failure in turning an election is irrelevant. If they failed, that only reaffirms that the right-wingers are both dishonest AND incompetent.
