13. Yes, therein lays the heart of the problem: knowing and proving are not the same thing.
We all "know" that the election(s) were stolen, but it has not been "proven" inasmuch as nobody has been held accountable, no election result has been changed. Until then we can "know" all we like. I am afraid that if we went to having elections with all recountable paper ballots that there would be some who would never accept a Democratic defeat without calling the election stolen. If the election if fair I can accept the result that sometimes voters prefer the other candidate. It's not that I am looking forward to a Democrat losing, it is just that I am looking forward to the day when we can accept such a loss as being legitimate.
