That there’s more people who want this (or at least did until they realised it meant their families being abducted by ICE) than people who didn’t, and more people still who didn’t give a fuck enough to bother voting.
That should keep them up at night more than vote rigging.
FWIW, I didn’t vote this past election. Not for lack of trying, mind you. I sent for a mail in ballot and it never showed. I corrected my address (which somehow got switched to an old address) and requested another and every time, the site would throw an error. By that point it was too late and I would need to vote in person which didn’t work because of the address thing. And before people go “well you should have made sure first”, I did. I verified everything months prior and it changed my info after…
What a pain in the ass… something about the degree of insoluble complications makes me feel that it may not have been entirely accidental (I know, I know, I have no concrete proof but other countries/jurisdictions are able to avoid these vote annulling scenarios fairly easily). Would it still have been possible for you to vote in your former district, or was it too far away (different city/state)?
The truth is worse.

For reference, the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election:

IF - and I grant, it’s a huge IF - but IF it’s true, then more people didn’t want this.
