This "they stole the election" is getting tiresome. It was tiresome when it was our claim in 2004, it was tiresome when Trump snatched the claim from us in 2020, and it is tiresome now that we've taken it back.

The arguments are literally the same - often citing the same conspiracy theorists who are all too happy switch their party loyalty to whoever will tout their theories.

(Note: I am talking about voting machine conspiracies - NOT the vote suppression, voter purges, limitation on voting hours, restriction of use of absentee ballots, enhanced voter ID requirements - all of those happened, and (by design) hit Democrats harder than Republicans.)
