After investigating the fake Russian collusion hoax for three years...

 Democrats mad as hell that allegations of election fraud will be looked into?

Certainly we can all look back and make our own determination as to how useful the Russian Collusion investigation (and Special Counsel) actually were. After all, there was never "any" evidence provided by "anyone" at "anytime" that "any" of the rumors were actually true. But as it stood, there was a large segment of the population that would have never been satisfied had there not been any investigation. 

For those of us who were smart enough from the start to know it was a hoax (smarter than a 5th grader), the idea that it went on for literally years was frustrating and in many ways the most corrupt use of law enforcement and intelligence in the history of our country. But at the very least, it provide some "closure" for a vast majority of the country (at least for those who knew it was a hoax and for those who had an open mind).

Moreover, the allegations of election tampering in places like Wisconsin were actually gone over with a fine tooth comb, only to come to the conclusion that there was not any evidence of machine tampering when compared to actual ballots, and that the vote counts were accurate. Recounts and other election interference allegations were also looked into in the wake of the 2016 Trump win.

So while it probably will not make any difference to the results of the 2020 election, I believe fully that the integrity of this election (and future elections) will be determined by whether or not these allegations of fraud are investigated. If we just cover it up and move on (which we didn't do in 2016) then we do the entire county a disservice. Why was it so important to investigate under every nook and cranny when Trump won, but now the same people demand how important it is to just "move on" when it appears he has lost?

To be clear, even if the allegations of fraud are found to be 100% true, there is still little reason to believe it would affect the final output. But if there were poll workers counting illegal ballots or supervisors telling workers to count illegal ballots, then there should be criminal referrals (because this would be tampering and an election crime). If poll workers were actually stamping dates on ballots that were past the point of being counted, then those poll workers (and anyone who directed it) should be prosecuted. If GOP poll watchers were illegally prevented from watching poll workers, then whoever is responsible for that should face those legal consequences. For too long we have "looked the other way" or just brushed it aside with a "boys will be boys" sort of "big city Democrats will be big city Democrats" argument. 

I think most of the country is fed up with this sort of shenanigans, and I would expect that even honest Democrats would be against any sort of cheating and would want people prosecuted for it (even if they were Democrats who were favoring Democratic ballots). 

Moreover, if there were ballots sent to dead people and those dead people voted, then we need to figure out who received those ballots and who is responsible and they should be prosecuted for election fraud. Same with allegations of double voting, and other individual voting crimes that seem to go unpunished every year. The fact that these individual election crimes may not change the end result, doesn't make them any less of a crime... in the same manner that just because you didn't put a bank out of business when you robbed it, doesn't make bank robbing any less of a crime.

Make no mistake: every illegal vote counted disenfranchises one legal voter. For anyone who is not in favor of disenfranchising voters all need to stand together and demand that we remove any illegal activities from our election process or at the very least investigate until we can put it all to bed. 

If you are against that, then you are against Democracy.
