Except you don't have to rig voting machines in dictatorships. You don't even need machines, you just need to keep track of those that vote against you and make sure they are willing to see the error of their ways and make the right choice.Yes and stealing elections through rigged voting machines or corrupt vote counters also happens. Who was it that won with 99% of the vote, Sadam Hussein? Someone was literally trying to claim such a result was legitimate.
Still doesn't mean the million maga marchers have a point though. And when you try to make it seem like the insane russia hysteria has some validity you lend them that same credibility.
The issue here is that some people are using the possibility for something being possible as a fact of it being actual. And since you can't prove the negative that such a thing didn't happen because logic doesn't work like that, you get idiots in denial denying reality and coming up with dumb or insane excuses of varying degrees of idiocy.
The only way out is to call that kinda thing out when either side does it. To be consistent about doing that.
We got a bunch of indictments from the russian collusion. We just didn't get removal because there was no way republicans would have removed him even if we had video footage of trump calling Putan. So far with the "election fraud" they are like 1 for 30 or something like that. And the one they got was for maybe 30 post marked ballots somewhere.
