Online-only letter to the editor: No evidence of voter fraud

It appears all they have is the dented ego of an arrogant man, born into wealth and privilege, who would rather spread and cling to a lie than admit defeat. And so he has ordered his delusional minions into the field with black lights, magnifying glasses, paper calipers, and who knows what else, in an incredibly inane and desperate search for anything at all, (water marks, bamboo fibers…what ever) to save that precious ego.

Or, maybe it comes down to this: Liz Cheney is obviously not the only conservative to recognize the lunacy and danger of Donald Trump and the “Big Lie”, even if they agree ideologically with the “Make America Great Again” platform. So, maybe what Trump is really looking for is those hidden conservatives who voted against him.

The way I see it, the 2020 presidential election was a referendum on Donald Trump, not a referendum on conservative values. When it comes down to it, the country is fairly evenly divided between conservative and liberal priorities. But after four years of Trump’s adolescent and belligerent behavior, I think it became all too clear to many conservatives that they had invested in a “bad hombre”. However, they had to deal with the subtleties of firing a menacing incumbent President while keeping his followers true to the party. Maybe chanting the “Lie” mantra is how these folks disguise their own complicity in getting Trump out of the Whitehouse and into the back rooms of the Party.
