Tal Bachman: A Quick Post-Mortem--Part 2 :: SteynOnline

Tal Bachman: A Quick Post-Mortem :: SteynOnline
"...It might be objected that these are fairly superficial errors, so let me turn to something more serious.
In the two years prior to election day, Trump repeatedly announced that Democrats were going to try to rig the 2020 election against him. 
  • He said it at rallies. 
  • He said it in interviews and tweets. 
  • If we take him at his word, he knew perfectly well an attempt was coming.
And so I ask: What was Team Trump's fraud prevention plan? 
What did he actually do to reduce the chances of ballot-stuffing, voting machine manipulation, fraudulent mail-in ballots, Chinese election-tampering, etc.?
From what anyone can tell, the answer is: nothing. 
There was no fraud prevention plan.
Most conservatives continue to give Trump a pass on this on grounds it is the states, not the federal government, who run the election process. 
But the fact is, Trump and the RNC could easily have helped coordinate anti-fraud measures among Republican Party machines (and Republican governors and state legislatures) in swing states. 
Yet they didn't...It gets more damning, read all!
