The share of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents who believe that President Joe Biden’s 2020 election win was not legitimate has ticked back up, according to a new CNN poll fielded throughout July.

Trump used 2004 as a starting point for Jan 6th, then added a riot. In order to stop the counting, you need a house and senate member to object to a particular vote (I’m actually in the house district of the guy who objected in 2020, and campaigned for his opponent).

From what I remember, Ohio polling was constantly showing a Bush loss and the CEO of Diebold was running around saying “No, those are our machines, Bush will win”, and then Bush did.
