   2000 election might have been stolen via supreme court depending on how you interpret it, I honestly can't remember the minute details anymore. All I remember was the argument that the state was changing its election laws during the election which is probably usually bad but probably more sensitive to the actual thing being changed not just a change happening

     @Moon The supreme court stopped the recount because Democratic Party controlled counties were using more lax rules to count ballots that would have been disqualified in red counties.
     Machismo repeated this.

     @Rocket @Moon I can't believe there's no federal one set of rules for this shit. So basically all elections are up for "grab" by changing laws as much as possible every damn time and at the whim of the local judge who leans one way or another. So if anything happens they can go "lmao no" regardless of anything

     @coolboymew @Moon According to the US constitution, "time and manner" of elections are supposed to be determined by state legislatures. What we have today is a mess of state officials making rules, courts interfering and making their own rules, and even huge county by county variances in how elections are run. And anyone who questions it is an election denier.
     
     The Democratic Party has gotten very good at manipulating elections. Even if you believe the 2020 election was on the up and up, the Democrats have stolen a Senate seat and a governorship. At minimum. Using the same exact playbook as the 2000 Gore campaign. After a huge amount of negative press, courts aren't willing to stop them anymore.
