I liked this take:
Dan McLaughlin @baseballcrank
I am not inclined to accept any theory of election irregularities, shenanigans, tomfoolery, or outright theft without proof. BUT ALSO: absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Where things look fishy, we should demand transparency & careful investigation.
ive been asking for more concrete evidence than "looks fishy" for over a day now.
so far is see:
-potentially legit event of windows being covered (this one needs explaining big time)
-"reports of poll watchers being expelled", without much if any proof. maybe be hearsay reporting.
-"trump got ZERO votes overnight", thoroughly debunked thusfar
-"these laws are unfair", but also they knew the laws coming in and trump still dissuaded mail in voting
and i think thats it. i agree with that take, but beyond some boarded up windows i dont see anything (pun intended).

i mean 3 football fields
lol the entire purpose of the random yardish can be excused as a system allowing easily countable multiples of 3 - , 3, 6, 9, 12 inches
but imho, the purpose was deception. most peasants didn't know the distance calculation charts and it allowed for easy scamming of huge swaths of land and monies in the earlier days when many people didn't have a good concept of math or easy access to learning
this is correct, "feet" (a foot), "yards" (a stride), "inch" (tuna peepee size hard) are all easy to visualize objects for the average peasant.
