While we are flashing back to 2016, how many votes separated Clinton from Trump in key states? How long before Clinton conceded the election? What happened when a few Congressmen tried to contest the electoral results?
This is a bad look right now. The sitting POTUS is giving traction to conspiracy theories about the election. With all of your concerns about the previous administration, what did they do when faced with similar issues?
No, they just shifted into "Resist" and "Impeach" and "Collusion".
The damage done by the House (and the Senate in many ways) over the past 4 years will have long lasting ramifications.
I wonder, without Covid, without the massive amounts of mail in voting, would the conspiracies still have people out there pushing them like they do? States like PA and Michigan didn't help themselves when they allowed massive amounts of votes get posted in the middle of the night when everyone went to bed. The optics alone are horrible. But I remember back before the election many predicting that we would go to be on election night with Trump leading, only to wake up and discovering Biden leading.
