A robust walkthrough of how fraud claims had been debunked produced by a panel of well-regarded Republicans such as the one released today would be a bulletproof way to change minds on fraud ... if logic had anything to do with it, which it doesn't.

Analysis | We have reached the apex of election-fraud debunking
A thorough new report makes obvious that nothing can derail election-fraud falsehoods except Trump. But probably not even Trump.

Think about what it would take at this point to dissuade the average person from believing that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from Donald Trump.

The election was more than 600 days ago, more than a year and a half. Over that period, there’s been not one person who has stepped forward to admit participation in a nationally orchestrated plot to subvert the election in more than a half-dozen states, despite the fact that such an effort would take the involvement of dozens if not hundreds of people.

Beyond the lack of proven human involvement, there has been no demonstration of rampant fraudulent voting in any state. There have been plenty of cases of individual fraud, rooted out through the established, successful mechanisms that are in place to catch such illegalities. There are plenty such cases in every national election. What hasn’t emerged is any evidence of hundreds or thousands of votes having been illegally cast in any state.

Nonetheless, millions of people believe that the election was stolen. So how might they be dissuaded? Perhaps a robust articulation of all of the claims about fraud that have been raised to date? A delineation of the dozens of lawsuits filed in the wake of the election and how they were adjudicated? An explanation of specific clusters of claims, like the “audit” of votes in Arizona?
