Republican voters are slow to believe facts and truth.
The GQP counts on that.

More than yours, actually. Your posts on Watergate are a wealth of misinformation.

The Nazis were meticulous record-keepers.

Were. Rumor now is they tear up their notes and the National Archives have to tape them back together.

Trump’s attempted coup d’etat was well organized and ongoing for months. While we don’t know what DOJ is exactly doing, they are investigating the criminals.
It is essential criminal charges be filed prior to the November election so voters will understand the leaders of the GOP want to destroy our free elections, overturn the will of the voters, and turn the U.S. into a Russian style pseudo republic.

You’re right; it’s worse even than I was arguing.
I don’t often find myself rooting for a large asteroid…

How about a firing squad for treason all pointing directly at Donald Trump.

Yes they were. Totalitarian regimes have tended to keep meticulous records of whom they murdered.

They were also very serious people.

He’s disgusting and should spend the rest of his sorry life in prison—but he has not committed treason as defined in the US Constitution.

“It may seem odd that the electors pledged to Trump and Pence might meet and cast their votes on December 14 even if, at that juncture, the Impotent Trump-Pence ticket is behind in the vote count,
Still trying to get my head around this. They think it’s “odd” that electors would vote if their guy is behind? They think you only vote if your guy wins? I guess it’s just the large-scale version of their idiotic formulation that if your candidate doesn’t win, you’ve been “disenfranchised.”

Treason. Plain and simple.
Could be. Although not all of them were Virginians. Take Alexander Hamilton, for one.
On the other hand, their descendants took their words at their word, and expanded those “inalienable rights” to include formerly enslaved persons, females, and even native Americans, who had been explicitly excluded in the Constitution.
Moreover, those same words have inspired people around the world for centuries.
So gripe all you want. The founders of the Republic may not have meant things to go as far as they have, but things did, and it was good.

Technically, it’s a “wasted vote”: one that doesn’t obtain any representation for that voter. That’s just how the system works. It can be mitigated (in multi-person districts, at least) by “proportional voting”: that is, the seats up for election are apportioned among the top vote-getters, rather than by using gerrymandered districts.

Early Trump Memo On Bogus Alternate Electors Set Jan. 6 ‘Hard Deadline’
They shouldn’t have set a hard deadline for such a flaccid insurrection.

They were meticulous about records of supply, logistics, etc. When it came to the Final Solution, the record-keeping was very strictly controlled. There were death certificates, but both the location and cause of death were fictitious. Camp personnel were forbidden from keeping journals (though some famously did). The Allies found minutes from the Wannsee Conference but a significant portion of the Final Solution was verbally communicated.
ETA: The Stasi were also meticulous record keepers, but they attempted to destroy all of those records when East Germany fell.
