Let's stop repeating this, I want to say trope, that the fake votes wouldn't change the election, and be honest that the majority of fake votes are FOR republicans.

We, the dem establishment, media, and citizenry, have ceded this falsehood to the republicans that it's dem voters cheating, as rare as it may be. It's more them, for the reasons you state, they are told we are cheating, so they are justified in doing so. Ignorance is no excuse to betraying America but that's another story.
