True, but with enough dislike of Walz, that level of voter fraud itself becomes toxic.

Ballot fraud and corruption are nothing new in electoral politics. Pericles in Athens was himself basically a corruptocrat.

It's when the corruption exceeds a certain threshold, that the cynicism it reflects becomes too much, that people decide it is the evil that is no longer sufferable. Probably the single most incisive commentary by Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence is that "man is disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable."

It's always a question of what we are willing to endure, and must less a question of what is ethically or morally righteous.
