It has an obvious explanation: The pandemic made in-person voting inadvisable.\n\nThe fact that more Democrats than Republicans used mail-in voting does not prove fraud. It, too, has an obvious explanation: Democratic voters took (and still do take) the pandemic more seriously than Republicans.\n\nAnd the fact that counting took longer than in previous elections does not prove fraud either. The obvious explanation being that there were more mail-in ballots than usual and that Pennsylvania law prohibits counting mail-in ballots before election day.\n\nIt's certainly true that Trump appeared to have a lead in Pennsylvania on election night. But it's also true that Biden won the state once all votes were counted. Those are the facts. All of Trump's legal challenges against the election in general and in Pennsylvania in particular failed miserably. Because Trump had no evidence of fraud whatsoever. His vague accusations amounted to nothing. Only evidence of election fraud proves election fraud. Trump had no such thing. `r/Conservative` has no such thing. The facts haven't changed. [Trump's lies are still lies](https://www.politifact.com/article/2020/dec/06/fact-checking-false-claims-about-pennsylvania-and-/) and `r/Conservative` is still lying.\n\nAs Judge Stephanos Bibas, a Trump appointee to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, said in dismissing one of Trump's challenges: \"Calling an election unfair does not make it so. Charges require specific allegations and then proof. We have neither here.\"\n\nThe changes to the Pennsylvania election laws in 2020 were bipartisan. Act 77 was fully supported by the Republicans. Until it turned out that Democratic voters benefitted as well. It was not until after the election, not until after Trump had lost Pennsylvania, that the Republicans changed their opinion on Act 77. What they supported before the election, they now called unconstitutional. And so they introduced various legal challenges against a law they themselves had voted for. Most of which already failed.\n\nThe Republicans made no effort to explain how Act 77 is bad for democracy. They didn't even try to explain how Act 77 does a disservice to the voters of Pennsylvania. Their entire argument consists of legal technicalities. Democracy be damned. The voters be damned.\n\nThe success of this one particular challenge is a stage win at best. The challenge will move to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court where it is expected to fail. Until then, Act 77 remains in place. But it wouldn't even matter if the challenge were to ultimately succeed. Because it still wouldn't prove election fraud. Because only evidence of election fraud proves election fraud.\n\nWe can safely assume that `r/Conservative` will stay silent if or when the challenge to Act 77 ultimately fails. Because `r/Conservative` isn't interested in facts. `r/Conservative` wants to keep Trump's Big Lie alive.",
