If Trump voters are really upset about it, states can audit the vote and show that fraud was a very small percentage, and didn't change any outcomes. (Both sides commit fraud, so they tend to cancel each other out.)
When I see Trump talk, I wonder if he really believes what he says or if he knowingly and willfully lies.
What this man has done in four years has put a great damage to the democratic culture in the US, and he badly harmed the reputation of the US around the world, especially when it comes to old allies in Europe.
Edit: If Trump was not a narcisstic egomanianc („I WON THIS ELECTION BY A LOT“?!? Wtf?!), he would have stepped up in dignity, conceded his loss, congratulated Biden and wished him well. The US is confronted with many challenges in the midst of a huge pandemic, the nation is divided, and all he has to say is he won by a lot (in big letters)?!? This is it?
He will literally say anything it takes, truthful or not, to win the current argument.
Anybody familiar with the church has encountered this sort of "playing both sides of the fence" before.
In both cases, the Holy Man has all the answers, and it sounds like they know what they are talking about-- even if their answers are contradictory.
Questioning that leads to circular logic you can't unravel, and in the end you give up and accept that they know better than you. Institutionalized gaslighting, in both cases.
Trump formed a committee to find voter fraud and for years it failed. It silently disbanded. The heritage foundation has researched voter fraud too, and it has found little to no evidence.
If that doesn't satisfy them, what will? You're basically saying we have to convince a group of people that fucking unicorns and dragons don't exist.
People could have more faith in the process without more legal cases like Florida 2000 (which kept Gore out of the White House despite him winning the vote in Florida), the Brooks Brothers Riot[0] and its 2020 replicas, the 2019 Georgia governors race (where the Republican candidate was also the secretary of state responsible for counting the votes; needless to say, there were 'irregularities.'), pervasive efforts to prevent demographics that historically do not vote Republican from voting[1], manipulation of the postal service to disenfranchise likely Biden voters[2], the continuing myth of 'voter fraud' that the GOP spreads[3] to justify disenfranchisement, and the constant drumbeat of 'it's rigged if I don't win' emerging from Trump's Twitter account and replicated by Facebook and other right-wing media outlets.
There's no clear way to restore faith in the electoral process without removing disdain for democracy from the Republican Party's DNA.

The preponderance of partisan, Republican, judges on the supreme court is very much part of the problem.
Take a step back, take a deep breath, and remember that issues are more complicated than "my team good, your team bad."
Or perhaps we shouldn't investigate foreign election interference?
The DoJ very much found signs of Russian election interference. They just couldn't prove that the Trump campaign actively conspired with Russia.
The 'Russia hoax' produced multiple criminal charges, both of Russians for interfering in the 2016 election, and of several Americans for obstructing the DoJ's attempts to investigate the possibility of people in the Trump orbit conspiring with the Russian government.
It has been factually established that Russia interfered with the 2016 election. The only question -- which cannot be answered because people in the Trump orbit lied to investigators and concealed evidence -- is whether the Trump campaign actively conspired with Russian entities beyond Trump openly asking for their help to access H. Clinton's 'emails.'
Take a step back, take a deep breath, and remember that some issues are a lot clearer than intentionally obfuscatory Republican narratives make them out to be.
If the process results in electing white supremacist like Trump, shouldn't that cause people to "lose faith in the process?"
Biden's historic turnout and election is proof the US doesn't want fascism. If that doesn't restore faith in the process, I don't know what would...
They need to believe. So they follow those that help them do so.
But I am in favor of investigating all (legitimate) allegations of fraud, not just the ones that DJT wants to investigate. And counting all ballots.
Of course. Which is why it's really only worth mentioning in the context of fraud actually changing anything significant.
Not sure why either side has anything to do with fraud in this election (I got that undertone from the post).
As always extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
