@Zoohouse For a second there I thought this was the USA (which says a lot).. got real worried for a hot minute.

What if the election fraud was the real coup?

@Atlas

What if unicorns are real... what ifs are nice and all but unless there is some sort of reasonable evidence to suspect it to be the case its usually a safe bet to file it under "fantasies to write a book about"

Fraud is extremely incentivized in elections, and the default position should be to audit and validate rather than trust.

OP's premise seemed to be that because the military cited election fraud, it should be dismissed out of hand as if the claim was a unicorn. Why should I assume there wasn't fraud? What makes these politicians special and unique from the rest of humanity to the point that questioning the premise is dismissed out of hand?

I find it odd and unsettling that election fraud is verboten as a topic.

There was auditing and validating, a hell of a lot, and it found no evidence. (in the USA)

The OP and me are different people. The OP made no claims of unicorns and only quoted an article.

Me, I was not the op and I was talking about the USA, which has nothing to do with the OP's post about the military nor did I mention the military.

I am also the one who brought up unicorns and I suggested the suggestion of voter fraud in the usa should be dismissed as if a unicorn because all the evidence that was considered and all the investigations that were done didnt show even the slightest hint of organized fraud, at best isolated incidents that were so minimal as to not even approach anything significant.
