Typically, we do not simply post links on The Point but these two pieces from the Brownstone Institute are important enough that they bear sharing.
They are both about how the pandemic shaped the 2020 election and how said election was utterly altered by federal money, private manipulation, public health interference, and conscious decisions to employ the least secure voting system – vote by mail (VBM) – in existence.
The fact that VBM is essentially the worst-case option if one wishes to hold a proper election was, until, oh, about four years ago, not a controversial statement. Commission, panel, investigative body after investigative body – involving both Republicans and Democrats – for years consistently found this to be inherently true for obvious reasons.
The Point has for the most part left it it up to readers to decide if the 2020 election was “stolen.” However, what we have always maintained is two incontrovertible facts: First, that VBM is, again, the least secure way possible to conduct a fair election, and second that the 2020 election was unquestionably the oddest, strangest, most unusual election in American history and that questioning said election was and is not inappropriate or malicious or denialism or any of the other nasty epithets tossed at people who even mention the possibility that upending a system – any system, really – that has been place for a century or two and replacing it with something thought up on the fly in a few months is likely to lead to a less than perfect outcome.
So if you have the time, do read these two pieces. We’ve left the comments open for everyone so do please feel free to chime in.

Ever since the voting was halted in all the key swing states on election night due to a fake report of a leak in one precinct, I've been 100% certain the Democrats cheated. The one thing we could not know for sure is whether that made the difference in the results, not just for president, but for several key senate races that also were close, and apparent upsets, like Michigan.
Considering the herculean efforts to prevent us from ever knowing that now convinces me, with 99% certainty, that all the insiders know for a fact that it did. They stole it, period. And because the Lame Loser Party has done nothing to stop it, they did it again in 2022, and are guaranteed to repeat their trick this year. Forget the polls; unless Trump is up by more than 10% over Biden, they'll steal it.
I hope to eat crow on this prediction. I really want to be wrong. But all the evidence so far is clear.
Voting by mail is simply too loosey-goosey (sorry for the technical term) to ensure voter integrity. There are no regulations on the use of watermarked ballots to protect against printing fictitious ballots. There are too few regulations and enforcement on ballot trafficking/harvesting, where voters are intimidated with "help" with their ballots. Malevolent blue state officials, especially in Pennsylvania, changed the rules to eliminate the most basic protections, from signature verification to dating and even postmarks. And drop boxes are a scandal (no postmarks, etc.). Pennsylvania moved the counting of absentee ballots from voters' precincts to centralized facilities that made it impossible for poll watchers to do their job. It is criminal to allow states to receive and count ballots received after election day (postmarking is unreliable). Other laws simply go unenforced.
