Months after Air Force One dropped off Donald Trump into the reconstituted swamp land of his Mar-O Lago exile, Li'l Donnie still squats upon his toad stool incessantly croaking about the fraud of the 2020 Presidential election and how he won by a lot and his victory was stolen from him blah blah blah.
It's a perspective that retains a great deal of staying power with 70% of registered Republicans agreeing with Trump.
This in the face of constant and unrelenting facts of their being no wide spread fraud.
But no wide spread fraud does not mean there was NO fraud.
Consider the case of one Bruce Bartman.
The 70 year old resident of Pennsylvania plead guilty to one count of unlawful voting and two counts of perjury. Mr. Bartman was sentenced to five years probation and is barred from voting for four years.
What Bruce Bartman did was he registered his deceased mother last August and successfully cast a ballot in his mother's name to vote for...
Oh you know where this going, don't you?
Yes you do, you clever little dickens you.
Bruce Bartman's dead mother voted for Donald Trump.
Bartman was contrite as he apologized to the judge.
"I was isolated last year in lockdown. I listened to too much propaganda and made a stupid mistake."
According to Bartman's lawyer, "He was angry at people criticizing the president and complaining about the election process, and he wanted to do what he considered civil disobedience by registering his mother and voting her. Of course, he was wildly mistaken."
His lawyer did not mince words in open court as he described Bartman's actions as "a very misguided political mistake and very stupid".
Of course, one case of voter proud is not evidence of any larger picture.
But it is more than a little ironic that the man most obsessed with the idea of voter fraud is the beneficiary of this incident of voter fraud.
Or Donald Trump has major pull with the dead mother demographic.
