Calling fraud after you swept everything makes your own victory look accidental."},{"host":"Bella","text":"Unless the fraud complaints are about a mayor's race, a county clerk, a state ballot question."},{"host":"Brian","text":"That's not what the loud voices say. They are not doing nuance, Bella."},{"host":"Bella","text":"Then why is Massie the one saying stop? If it's just a few loud accounts, the party isn't doing it."},{"host":"Brian","text":"Because a few loud accounts can define the party on social media.

Looking paranoid or admitting election problems are real?"},{"host":"Brian","text":"Both! If you say fraud exists in your own win, you're feeding distrust in every future loss."},{"host":"Bella","text":"But if you say no fraud ever happened anywhere, you're ignoring that local election offices do make mistakes."},{"host":"Brian","text":"That's fair.
