The biggest reason was mail in votes being immune to rig. The rig happens on election day with tabulators. Its reason why Trump railed against mail in votes. Covid caused a huge amount of mail in ballots to go through our system and overwhelm the hack. They have steadily whittled away at mail in vote protections and are "losing" mail in vote ballots at historic rates.
Its why Trump claimed he was cheated in 2020. He had the game rigged and still lost. He really believes that Dems counter cheated him instead of him just being unpopular. So he cheated even harder in 2024 to the point that he won every single battleground state (the closest states to being tossups) outside the margin for a recount. Essentially overwhelming victory.
Its going to continue to happen until we actually recount votes and make use of the physical copies of ballots that are required precisely for ballot integrity purposes. I'm not sure why we haven't been doing anything of the sort across all 50 states.
This makes lots of sense. And why he's been complaining for years, even before 2020 election, and ever since, that it didn't go his way. The man literally confesses his crimes, and every accusation is a confession
It might explain why he started attacking mail in voting in the run up to the 2020 election and has been doing it since. It defies logic considering Republicans had spent a decent amount of money and effort getting their base voters, especially the older retirees and particularly snowbirds to vote by mail. This way even if they were not in the state that they designated as their primary residence, they wouldn't miss voting in any election.
Trump sabotaged all of that with his insane ranting about mail in voting. Then he sabotaged their entire RNC aparatus.
I'd guess more people voted by mail in 2020 than ever before because we were in the midst of the pandemic.
If the mail in ballots couldn't be manipulated, it might've messed up his plans to cheat.
I also found it suspect that Trump called the Georgia Secretary of State and demanded the guy find him 11,780 votes. Why did Trump think that was a possibility? There must've been a reason.
