Why would I care about swaying public opinion? I'm not a lawyer or a politician. There's no swaying anyone on this. Everyone has their minds made up. We have never been so divided except maybe in the 1850's and early 1860's. I hope this turns out better than that but I don't have much hope as people won't look at what is right in front of them. I can't, for the life of me, figure out why any American wouldn't want to make sure that the election was fair and honest.
Also, SCNOW, CBS local in Philly, the Washington Examiner and the Daily Caller are now off limits to you? Do you think you can censor half the country like Twitter did? You really have no idea what's coming, do you...

I'm not censoring anyone. I just won't accept biased reporting.
If you are not trying to sway anyone, why are you posting here? Why do you make unsubstantiated allegations that you cannot back up? Are you just preaching to the choir?
Here is an article that outlines the efforts of Chris Krebs, from the Department of Homeland Security, about the alleged voter fraud. While this is a Politico article, the information is directly from DHS.
From his perch atop the DHS Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, Chris Krebs has been using his agency’s “Rumor Control” website — and his personal Twitter feed — to take on the viral conspiracies that are circulating widely in conservative circles, some of which have been promoted by the president and his top allies. Launched prior to the election to help voters navigate domestic and foreign misinformation, the website has now essentially morphed into a post-election fact-checking operation for the outgoing president and his supporters.

Department of Homeland Security, part the Trump administration. Chris Krebs is a Trump appointee.
The reality check is the end result of a decision by Krebs, who took over as CISA director in June 2018, to aggressively expand CISA’s partnership with state and local election officials in preparation for the 2018 and 2020 elections, and to make combating disinformation a top priority for the agency. Over two years later, Krebs is one of the few remaining Trump political appointees who has often publicly contradicted the president — while not naming him directly — and managed to keep his job.
Alaska was just confirmed for Trump and another Republican senator won so the GOP has at least 50, and possibly one or two more depending on how the Senate elections in Georgia go. So it looks like some of the Democrats who wanted a job in the Biden cabinet will have to wait, most notably Senator Elizabeth Warren. Biden will have to choose a more moderate choice. There is some speculation that Mitt Romney wants to be the pick for Health and Human Services. Choosing a leftover cabinet member from a previous administration is a tradition with many new Presidents. I don't think Trump did this and I can't see Biden picking someone from Trump's cabinet, so Mitt might be a way to make a token gesture to show a moderate president.
I am very curious who Biden chooses for his Chief of Staff. With Biden's age the COS will be his right hand man, sort of like Game of Thrones. A very important pick.
