Not really - both sides have somebody that is willing to cheat. That one was caught does not mean the other isn’t also trying to cheat. Unless they can conclusively implicate the high leadership and not just a small local group of course - I doubt they can. Implicating the whole because of a few bad apples is election interference and must only be done on strong evidence which I doubt they have time to gather.
Well, you see, when every single time election fraud and election interference has been found it is only on the same side, then it tends to make people think there might be something going on in that one side.
Nope. Some things actually are extremely one-sided, independent of what biases observers might have about them. BTW, neutrality bias is also a thing.
Election rigging in the US has been almost entirely exclusive to the Republican party for the last several decades, just like voter suppression and disenfranchisement.
You can actually point to Trump’s fake electors scandal, or the J6 attempt to taint the chain of custody for the state ballot counts before they could be certified.
So what are you going to point to in the other direction? Do you have anything?
…and you better not say the Russian interference claims, because they were made by a bipartisan intelligence committee, not the Democratic party. The commitee was even led by Republicans.
This isn’t a both sides issue. Every time we find actual voter fraud occurring in the US, republicans are committing the crime. Be it election worker intimidation, submitting falsified votes, or attempting a coup with fake electors, republicans are behind it every time. GOP policies are so unpopular they need to cheat to win - this shouldn’t be surprising to anyone.
Go touch a cow. How hard is it to check a dozen fraudulent votes and work out who these votes were for. I’m willing to bet they are not for ‘both sides’
This is undoubtedly for one size. There are abuses elsewhere for the other side. Have been every election and no reason to think there won’t be in the next.
It will be important to publicize which side is implicated ASAP - and do so clearly with an authoritative voice.

It isn’t only on one side though. You are just paying attention to one side and avoiding finding abuses on your own side - most humans do this.

Easy to figure out? But that plays right into their scheme of making the other party look like they were comitting fraud. /s

The phrase is “a few bad apples spoil the bunch”.
