No, Thom Hartmann (Blue pundit) is not a joke. He says Republicans stole the 2016 and 2004 and 2000 elections, and he gives reasons to believe this, and warns that the same is still happening today.
Both Reds and Blues are accusing the other side of stealing elections. Those vigilantes in Arizona and Georgia etc. believe fake ballots are being deposited, and that Blues are in other ways stealing elections
And each side says the other side is falsely accusing their side of cheating. Each side says, "But the other side really is cheating and our side is not." It's almost like the Red script-writers are the same as the Blue script-writers. Maybe the same propagandists supplying material to each side, but they wear their Red hat on one day and their Blue hat on the next.
This is joke, right?
That is not the same as "most IIDB forumers" and one guy I've never heard from is not "many Democrats"
This is a very simple task for you; name any Democrat who campaigned in 2020 that Trump stole the election using voter fraud in 2016. If "both sides are doing it" then it should be straightforward for you to point out the dems who used the exact same arguments Boebert, Kari Lake, Mark Brnovich etc are making in the upcoming election.

Gore actually won Florida so should have won the states electoral college votes. Gore actually should have been the president.
And if Lumpenprolitariat's assertion is even remotely accurate, it would stand to show that there were a plethora of Democrat candidates who not just campaigned in 2004, but won their primaries saying 2000 was filled with election fraud. I don't remember that happening. Maybe I was wrong. You know, both sides and all.
That’s not correct. The final count put W ahead by 500.

That was not the final count. Gore made the mistake of not demanding for a full recount, as FL law allows. It all became moot after the SC stepped in. However a full recount was conducted after Bush was confirmed and Gore won by the recount.

Easy solution really.
Don't make it so people have to show up anywhere.
Register online. Mail all ballots. That takes care of probably 90% of any potential issues. For some reason, only a few states (all leaning strong Dem, like WA) do this.
Have polling places with instant registration to accommodate homeless or orherwise non-conforming individuals.

Depending on the standard of recount, Gore wins in several of them. But the recount he wanted, he would have lost. The recount the FL SC ordered, likely in Gore's favor, but extraordinarily tight. This revelation comes out after 9/11 occurs, which made it a much more muted finding. In fact, the papers led with W would have won if Gore got his way.
In the end, Gore lost because of a fucking Butterfly ballot design signed off by Democrats. I always think of that when double checking my ballot.
