I actually did answer your question as best as possible. The NC case is an example where multiple people were involved, and once the voting anomalies were detected it wasn’t that difficult to track down those involved and get the minions to flip (same as it works in so many cases). Corroborate fraud via testimony from multiple credible participants who are supported by the facts and you have a case.
Election fraud isn’t some magical kind of fraud that is immune from the same methods of detection as any other fraud.
I have to say, that ham sandwich trope drives me bonkers. Well over 90% of those federally indicted are convicted and for those who go to trial the conviction rate is over 99%. The Fulton County conviction rate is over 90%. I guess all those indicted ham sandwiches make for poor defendants.
My questions stands. Was the 2020 election stolen or not?
Here's why the NC case is irrelevant to my question: Again, as stated in my last post to you, the NC case is the government going after citizens for voter fraud. Local election officials gladly turn over the information to prosecute citizens, especially where it fits a political agenda.
My question is about all the cases alleging impropriety by GOVERNMENT officials and their peers (County Clerk office, Secretary of State office, Election Directors, etc.). What would one need to have, in your view, to successfully prove malfeasance by
those running the election?
Election fraud is not magical, but it is a unique area where election officials work without third party verification and have control over all the information used in the election process. Jeffrey Dahmer certainly wasn't allowed to tell police they couldn't look in the refrigerator to check out the really bad smell. But local election officials have been allowed to destroy election records, fail to produce documentation of large numbers of votes, and to hide ballots, computer records, surveillance video from scrutiny. That's rather suspicious.
You may not like it, but its true that getting an indictment isn't that hard. There is no defense, just the prosecutor's spin on the case information. All that means is that indictments are not conclusive.
Most government prosecutors have high success rates because they tend to take the cases they can prove decisively. And then they tend to bargain down a maddening degree to guarantee a win. So when you see a prosecutor push forward a marginal case that requires unique and creative interpretations of the law just to get an indictment, you have to wonder what the motivation is to go forward with it.
Your last question: "
Was the 2020 election stolen or not?"
The simplest true answer I can give you is that I don't know and you don't either. People outside the system who think they know the answer are wrong. Nobody, at any level, has seen all the relevant data one way or the other. Our elections are too much of a black box. There's no reason for it other than to hide incompetency, inconsistency and shenanigans.
