So, without conducting any forensic audit of the tabulation machines, without inspecting a single ballot, and without interviewing any sworn affiant, (out of hundreds), the DoJ just DECIDED that there was no fraud because .... reasons.
There's probably as much damage in an electorate who doesn't believe in the election results as there is in a rigged election. Perhaps even more.
To be certain of the absolute integrity of our elections in our modern age will take time... even well respected left and right journalism outlets and senators and various government officials have called into question issues for a few years now - most notably in 2018..
We will find we need to make some changes in the end, but it's a necessity of time which
this election simply doesn't have.
If half the electorate doesn't believe in the outcome of this election, the result is, in the end, dangerous.
I'm with Barr, what we know (factually and with proof) isn't enough to change the outcome... so it's more important to accept the loss with faith the "system" will eventually be corrected in time.
The fear on the right is that this one election is too important, because the left is too far left to lose control to them before we can be certain of our systems...
But honestly, had Trump won I wouldn't have questioned it as hard as I am now - so I know within myself that's my own bias talking... and I can't view the world within the cocoon of my own biases. I have to base everything I think on facts.
And while I think there is some fraud, (there is to some degree in every election) what's apparent and able to be proven isn't enough to flip the election.
Beyond that, I have to trust God that truth will prevail, and that in His Hand I am safe.
So yeah, Barr's right, and he didn't need to do a forensic audit to come to that conclusion... that needs to come though, eventually.
