One of the more honest statements about voter fraud and stolen elections was delivered this week by Kentucky Sen. Paul, who continued to spread the lie that the 2020 election was stolen from former President Donald Trump.
Paul quoted a post from The American Conservative on how to steal an election. It was said that it was to seed an area heavy with potential Democratic votes with as many as possible, targeting and convincing potential voters to complete them in a legally valid way, and then harvesting and counting the results.
The attached piece did not provide any proof of any wrongdoing by Democrats or Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who was accused of trying to steal Wisconsin for President Joe Biden last year.

The senator wrote on December 27th, "December 27th, 2021."
The phrase "legally valid" is prominently featured in the sentence he chose to excerpt. There was no evidence of fraud or corruption in last year's election in Wisconsin.
The point of this claim is not proof of fraud, but proof that Paul and other Republicans have made over the last decade. The GOP claims about voter fraud, stolen elections, and election integrity are meaningless because they are just a ruse to justify their belief that people voting for Democrats is enough to make an election illegitimate. The result of theft is a Democratic victory.

The Republican Party reacted to the 2020 election by spreading lies about election fraud, attempting to overturn Trump's loss, and fomenting a riot at the U.S. Capitol. They institutionalized the aims of the insurrection, passing more than 30 new laws to restrict voting rights and asserting new levels of partisan control over local and state election systems ahead of the next presidential contest.

Black people, Latinos, Native Americans, college students, people with disabilities, and anyone who lives in cities that vote blue are all targeted by these efforts. They are all caused by Republican anger that too many voters voted for Democrats.
In Georgia, Republicans added stricter voter ID requirements to Absentee ballots, and tightened access to a vote-by-mail program in a way that they never felt was necessary until Biden became the first Democrat to win the state since 1980. The GOP-controlled legislature in Arizona made similar changes to the laws that were originally enacted after Biden won the presidency. In Texas, where it is already harder to vote than in most other states, they banned drive-through voting and imposed other new voting restrictions in an effort to ward off potential Democratic victories in the near future.
Republicans and their conservative allies have targeted election officials and offices in key states, stripping power from those who made it too easy to vote or refused to go along with Trump, part of a broader effort to bend the 2024 election to their liking. In Wisconsin, the subject of Paul's post, Republicans are attempting to undermine the electoral system they just reformed and are trying to replace the state's top elections official.
The kind of behavior they say is meant to evoke is rare in American politics and voter fraud has never been the target of their ire. Conservatives will not insist that voter fraud doesn't happen in order to stop the GOP's attempts to suppress votes and subvert American democracy.
It is obvious what Republicans are trying to do. There is no such thing as a legal vote for a Democrat or a legitimate election if a Democrat is elected.
