    That is exactly the sort of fallacious reasoning that results in the perpetuation of conspiracy theories.

    Part of the problem with the election lie conspiracy theory was that they rolled it out months prior to the election and even with the head start, spent 2+ months trying to find the actual widespread fraud that they made up

    Why do you think Trump encouraged supporters to vote twice, he was trying to create real fraud to support his lies

    It is also why some crimes go on forever with no one going to jail. If you don't look you'll never find anything.

    They have one thing in common: they entail formulating an explanatory hypothesis. The error arises when the hypothesis depends on many implausible assumptions, and then when alternative, simpler explanations are rejected - the original hypothesis becomes clung to on faith, and becomes incorrigible. New data is analyzed with strong confirmation bias: if the evidence is consistent with the hypothesis, its importance is exaggerated. If inconsistent, it is rationalized (often by enlarging the scope of the hypothesis), or by minimizing its significance.

    More 2+2 =35. The more power government disposes of the more reason there is to Cheat and people don't generally try to hide things if there is nothing to hide.

    So there can only be one? Seriously, the commission wasn't stonewalled, it was a failure from the start, can you guess why?
    But hey, don't let one failure stop you, look at trickle down, it's been failing for 50 years and the right sticks to it like glue.
    Have your party investigate the hell out of the made up voter fraud.See what you find.
    I suspect no one on the right will be satisfied with what is found.

    Yep, conspiracy theory thru and thru.
    Sad sad thing to have to cling to to avoid admitting a loss that is legit.

    It was indeed stonewalled to do its job it required information from the several states almost of which refused to supply the information. No information no investigation.

    The election fraud lie actually started way back in 2017. But really ramped up all summer long. trump new he would lose and planted the excuse months ahead of time.

    That was because of the information they demanded, voter rolls, which NO President should have!
    It was a failure from the start.

    How many times your going to use that fake story. Another conspiracy theory on your part.

    You can bet your last $$$$ the far RW news agencies been looking and looking and looking for any cocamaime story to show there was election fraud. Even those organizations haven't come up with anything.

    No affidavits from any observers stated they were prevented from observing. You need to stop making **** up, especially when it’s so easily disproven.
