But I observed from our reporting on it over the years that the voter fraud bogosity was so prevalent that even reasonable, non-bad-actor Republicans adopted and advanced it unquestioningly. It was in the drinking water. They didn’t even know they’d been sipping it for years.

Yep, I would get this from the normie suburban Republicans staffing my polling place. They wouldn't go for "massive voter fraud," but they would mention fraud or drop boxes being unsafe. When told there is no evidence of fraud, they'd fall back to "well, we can't be *sure*..."

That was a sobering realization, a corollary to the old aphorism that if you repeat the lie long enough it becomes true. Which brings us to the Big Lie. The WaPo reports this morning on 5 examples where county-level officials have tried to block the certification of the vote.
