Looking Back on the 2020 Election, the Most Secure in U.S. History
It's been over 425 days since the 2020 presidential election, the most secure, transparent, and verified election in U.S. history. And despite well-funded efforts to try to delegitimize the election, over a year later, nobody has produced - or been able to manufacture - any evidence that the outcome of the election was marred by fraud. The 2020 election was the greatest success story in the history of American democracy. In the middle of a global pandemic, election officials of both parties rose to the occasion and conducted the highest turnout election in history. Despite that success, American democracy is under unprecedented attack.
In 2016, fewer than 80% of ballots were cast on auditable paper. In 2020, that number increased to 95%, including nearly all ballots cast in every presidential battleground state. Georgia, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia were among the states that transitioned to statewide use of ballots with a paper trail by 2020.
More states than ever before (43 plus DC) conducted post-election tabulation audits. Two pivotal swing states - Georgia and Michigan - were among the states that began auditing in 2020.
The 2020 election was one of the most scrutinized elections of all time. Even though the outcome was repeatedly confirmed under the law, several states have engaged in unnecessary and wasteful reviews of the election. All legitimate audits have pointed to one thing: a well-run election with no widespread fraud. Even the partisan reviews in states like Arizona, Michigan,Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, some of which continue more than a year after the election, have failed to find any problems that could have affected the outcome. In most cases, the legislators urging these partisan reviews were elected on the very same ballots about which they are raising doubts.

Receipts instead of Bullshart. The election wasn't deemed the most secure out of hype. (And don't forget, the election was held under Trump's presidency, not Biden's) It was deemed secure because of the most auditing in history and the greatest number of reviewable paper trails in key states than ever before.We really need a federal law making election denialism a felony. Either present evidence of actual fraud or STFU.
