Why Can't We Just "Get Over the 2020 Election 'Loss'?

"It's OVER; Stop Talking About It".

That's what the Dems are saying, with increasing impatience. Every investigation that unearths more and more unlikely chain of events - which, according to the Officially Smart, Honest, and Sensible People, is Completely UNsuspicious - is airily declared to be No Big Deal (or as our putative President would put it, NFBD).

Let me put this in terms the Left and their supporters might understand:

You are a teacher in a high school. There is an election for Student President. One student is a Charismatic, but Annoying Guy, who people either love and absolutely HATE. Let's call him CAG.

His opponent is a Smarmy Toady, who's record as Treasurer of several clubs has left them MYSTERIOUSLY short of cash. The admins accepted his protestations of innocence without a formal investigation. When the other students in the club complained, they were told that this had been FULLY investigated, and the issue was SETTLED.

Let's call that second guy ST.

Now, in most of the school, the numbers are relatively even for supporters. It seems that CAG has a slight edge overall - around 55-45. Still, ST's supporters insist that there is a hidden vein of potential voters who will deliver victory.

Now, several things happen in the last weeks of the campaigns:

• There is a SUDDEN infusion of students registering at the school. They look a little old for high school - many have graying hair - but the registrar insists on enrolling them, even with no documentation. CAG's people protest, saying they are the homeless people from the camp just outside the school district, but the admins rule them eligible for enrollment.
• Posters start appearing in the halls, denouncing CAG as a sexual harasser, secret supporter of the school's traditional rival, and responsible for repeat crimes against the school's minority students (no reports were made of these long-ago crimes, but - trust the accusers regardless). CAG's supporters gather in the main office to protest the posters, which have no stamp indicating that they had admin approval to be posted. The students are turned away, after being threatened with suspension for violence (which leaves them puzzled, as they were peaceful and polite). On the way out, they are pushed around and egged by ST supporters. As a result, CAG's supporters get a suspension for 3 days.
• On the day of the election, excitement is high. The votes are submitted to the teachers, and they start counting. Most of the homerooms report the results promptly. Their raw tally is 57 CAG, 43 ST, even higher than predicted. As the votes are not counted individually, but as a homeroom, this gives CAG a comfortable lead of four homerooms overall
• But, wait! 5 homerooms hold back their numbers, stating "issues" with infrastructure (whatever the hell that is). They insist they are working to fix it, but that the school should close for the day. The principal hustles students onto their buses, and announces that all teachers and other staff have 10 minutes to leave before everyone is locked out. As the last teacher leaves, the principal locks all doors.
• BUT, surprisingly, the teachers from the non-reporting homerooms have stayed behind. And, after a short dinner break, are hard at work counting votes. Which, AMAZINGLY, are nearly 100% for ST, giving him the five homerooms he needs to WIN! Most of the ballots were from students who were absent that day.
• The next day, the students and teachers return to be greeted with the news that ST has won. A Victory Party is "spontaneously" organized in the cafeteria, a party to which 10 students show up out of 650. Those present loudly proclaim that this PROVES the validity of the victory.
• Amazingly, after the election, those late-registering students are never seen again. AND, the actual ballots seem to have disappeared.

Now, if you were a student, would you give up and accept the election results?
