[FRIAM] election eve

[Robert J. Cordingley]

NYT Nicholas Kristof ended his OpEd 
<https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/04/opinion/donald-trump-election-2020.html> 
this morning with a paragraph that summarized my feeling entirely:

    "So as I fret about Trump’s efforts to do Russia’s work and
    delegitimize this election, I also keep wrestling with this
    question: How is it that so many millions of Americans watched Trump
    for four years, suffered the pain of his bungling of Covid-19,
    listened to his stream of lies, observed his attacks on American
    institutions//— and then voted for him in greater numbers than before?"

Last count per NYT, there have been 68,644,941 votes (47.8%) this 
morning for Trump. So many voters, that apparently don't see {choose 
your favorite crisis} as a key issue either, it boggles my mind. What 
have those movements done wrong? If I didn't understand how difficult it 
is to steal an election (detailed in another NYT oped today), I might 
even say there was something fishy.

Suggestions?
