🧵> That is why it is not enough that an election be honest and fair. It must be OBVIOUSLY honest and fair, even and ESPECIALLY to the losing side.
The winning side does not care if the election was honest, or even if there was one: if someone tells them that they won because someone read so on a chicken liver, they will readily believe it, or pretend to believe. Again, the only purpose of an election is to convince THE LOSERS that they are a minority. 🧵>
