On election night, at 1 am President Trump was way ahead. The betting markets had his implied probability of victory at (80-90%). Than they stopped counting ballots and a couple hours later the numbers got screwed up. Is it that hard to believe that they panicked, stopped counting ballots and started manufacturing ballots to catch up? Perhaps I'm wrong but at the minimum this warrants an impartial investigation. Why is this belief crazy? Are people really trying to suggest we should never challenge or investigate election results? What's to top people from cheating then? I'm being distanced by essentially everyone I know for expressing these beliefs.

I usually ask people what if they’re wrong and would they bet their life on their conclusion. Did they honestly try hard enough to figure this out that they’d bet their life on it? I mean ask them if they know what the consequences might be if voters are no longer needed and the country is ruled by a permanent oligarchy.
Eventually people will rethink this when blatant abuses affect them personally, and it will happen eventually because every empire collapses eventually. It’s just a matter of how much longer it will take.
