Voter fraud isn’t the problem

Are enhanced Voter ID rules all that necessary? Election fraud has seldom been a problem until Trump lost in 2020, and he howled like a stuck pig. He cries foul because he can’t comprehend that the country is full of people who don’t like him, even in conservative Georgia. All of this is thrust on us by scheming Republicans who want limited government and fewer regulations, as long as they can invent new rules and tighten procedures for everyone else. No election fraud has been found in Georgia, but somehow voting reforms are deemed necessary. It’s perfectly routine for the FBI to raid the Fulton County election offices, isn’t it?

Why don’t MAGA and Fox News Corp get all worked up over the theft going on at the White House every day? Trump and his family have enriched themselves by $4 billion, yet not a word of protest do we hear from the right. The law and order, church-going Republicans overlook all the larceny. It’s Joe Biden’s fault after all.
