My fellow Americans ...

this is the approach I have ... define the data set, derive a reasonable, plausible, logical interpretation of the data set and we can have a discussion

here is an example of how difficult this is

this morning I listened to the SoS of MO. He implicitly claimed there was massive voter fraud and yet when pinned down he only knew of one conviction. So what he was saying was one case is equivalent to massive voter fraud. So we can not even agree to the facts.

Further this investigation has multiple motivations. For Mr Trump is is to prove he is correct there was 3-5M illegal votes. For conservatives it may provide a basis for voter disenfranchisement.

How does one bridge this divide?

ignorance is the enemy
without equality there is no liberty
America can survive bad policy, but not destruction of our Democratic institutions
