The flaw within the Trump election fraud declare has at all times been the common sense drawback that if the presidential ends in these states are invalid, then all the ends in the 5 swing states are additionally not legitimate, and people members shouldn’t be seated.
Simply as it’s not possible to be slightly bit pregnant, it is usually not possible for an election to be slightly bit illegitimate.
