And I believe that Reds will not lay down gently with a Blue win. They are fueled by Internet Trolls and Conspiracy theories that literally say Hillary Clinton leads a child sex slavery ring and that Bill Gates wants to inject control chips in everyone through vaccines. (I'm not kidding, there are millions that believe things like this.)

But middle America has been accepting election results. I suspect also that many are leaning blue this time in order to get a scientific response to the bug and racist violence curbed in the police. I don't doubt that many believe the conspiracy theories, but the crisis issues seem stronger.
I suspect he meant actual vote tampering, though the debacle this past weekend in Georgia comes very close to outright voter fraud. Let's see if the courts take it seriously. More to the point, will they act with due haste.
