15. Maybe "We Can Not Trust the Machine Counts" is a frame we can
all live with.

And who's responsible for that? The Republicans. 35 million votes
were counted on unverifiable machines installed after the Republicans
derailed federal legislation in the House and the Senate that would
have outlawed them. They also sabotaged the Election Assistance
Commission through inadequate funding and inadequate appropriations.
With a budget of just one million, it could afford only a staff of
seven--not enough to do its job of setting standards for the new
voting machines installed under the Help America Vote Act.

When the Republicans went to so much trouble and took such great
political risks to see that the election COULD be stolen, how can we
trust that it was not stolen?

Proof is beside the point. Lack of trust is the point.
