“Donald Trump has long aspired to build an impregnable edifice. Now, finally, he has done it: He has constructed a narrative of election fraud that’s completely impervious to evidence. On Monday, nearly a week after his party was trounced in the midterms, Trump wrote on Truth Social …. ‘It’s all about the machines, which are far more important than the voter!’ Like all of Trump’s allegations about massive voter fraud, this one is baseless. But as a denialist innovation, it’s marvelous. It covers all the scenarios he failed to cover in his previous tales of rigging and cheating. Anytime he loses, no matter the facts or circumstances, he can say the election was stolen.” (11/10/26)
