2018 was their dry run for this election. It was blatantly obvious in so many races where the Democrat had a miraculous comeback to beat the Republican. Kysten Sinema, the John James 1st race, etc. It was always the same. 'Found' ballots and creative counting. They were testing it out. It was obvious then and nothing was done and they were emboldened. Couple that with their absolute hatred of Trump and they just got reckless.
Id bet it's been in light use for a long time, but Trump really pushed them over the edge.
They needed the house, so used it in 2018 generously, then REALLY needed it in 2020. They made it too obvious.
