This is all very odd...It seems as if drump friendly officials have committed the very crimes that they accuse the Democrats of doing???
PBS isn't exactly what I would categorize as a "Neutral" source, I don't know that such a thing exists anymore, anyway.
You don't mention in your quoted text WHOM at the Associated Press wrote the story you quote from, nor the title of the article/story. Very well; I don't see anything in the quoted text that indicates that there was an attempt to cast multiple (a very high multiple) fraudulent ballots (the thing your Democrats are accused of).
It appears to me that there is some sort of investigating going on? Whether sanctioned by The State or not.
I like investigating of voter fraud, both sides engage in it: as any impartial evidence gatherer could show you. For every Democrat caught, convicted, and jailed/fined for the act, there can be found a Republican caught, convicted, and jailed/fined for the act.
I imagine, fraudulent votes are much like cockroaches: for every one you see there are a million or so that you don't (yes: hyperbole, I know you are well familiar with it and it is a favored weapon of yours, so we may both use it, neh?).
The problem with discovering fraudulent votes, and the people who cast them multiple times is that it is an ILLEGAL act, a crime if you will. It is frequently difficult to get a Criminal that has "gotten away with it" to surrender themselves to the authorities and admit a crime.
You generally have to sleuth it out, some times with circumstantial corroborating evidence, witness statements, and even forensic evidence. If your vote fraud criminal is "good," there will be little of that to find, after all that is the whole point of engaging in the activity: "get away with it" & "leave no evidence."
I generally chuckle to myself when a Vote Fraud Denier, eventually admits that "Yes, it does happen: BUT not enough to matter."
Firstly, in my book, ONE SINGLE fraudulent vote matters. Secondly, given the above (each "found" fraudulent vote represents some multiple of "un-found" ones) which sort of blows the logic of the "Yes, it does happen: BUT not enough to matter" statement apart.
It is far better for the Vote Fraud Denier to stick to their guns on "Never Happens" from a logic stand-point, it is an easier statement to defend than the half-measure "Yes/but" statement.
As a plus, it's a Rose-colored Pollyanna Land viewpoint, and even if is not made by an innocent, it at least can have a veneer of innocence associated with it.
I don't think Fraudulent Votes are like Lost Car Keys: in that if you don't look for them they miraculously turn up in the place you thought you had already looked.
You actually have to diligently look for these things, as by their nature (criminal) they are hidden as well and flawlessly as the criminal that casts them can manage.
So, Pud: it is probably better for you to go back to the "IT DOESN'T HAPPEN/DIDN'T HAPPEN THIS TIME" than to try to portray it as a one-sided thing.
If you wish to debate which side historically has cast the greater number of Fraudulent Votes, I'd love to. We can begin in, what was it 1960, with the historic Kennedy election?
Probably the easiest out for you on this one is to call me a Consipiracy Kook and go back to your TDS hobby-horse.
Cheers!
