The Big Lie lives on, updated March 2, 2021

One of the greatest puzzles of the recent presidential election is why do 65% of Republicans still believe the lie the election was stolen.At CPAC this lie is being perpetuated and is being used to change state election laws to restrict convenient voting. They are trying to fix something that "ain't broke". 60 judges, including those appointed by Trump threw out the suits brought by Trump attorneys on the basis of lack of evidence or flawed legal theories or the anecdotal evidence did not add up to enough vote changes to reverse the outcomes. At the March 2 2021 hearings in the House, FBI Director Wray stood by Trump's AG Bill Barr that also contradicted the claims of widespread voter fraud. Disputing Trump, Barr says no widespread election fraud (apnews.com) Trump is still touting the Big Lie as well. In whining about the stolen election, what you hear is the evidence was not presented by the attorneys in the court hearings. Here is why: attorneys could not find evidence to present and if they lied about it, they could be disbarred. Some did try and now they are paying the price. https://bipartisanreport.com/.../lawyers-who-pushed.../...
