Because the landslide made any election fraud irrelevant.

Or, more to the point, because it never existed in the first place except as an opportunity for Trump to create rancour, division and hatred. Remember all the court cases that found precisely nothing.
I would guess Giuliani might have some interesting memories of all this and the danger of getting too close to Trump; looks like he has been hung out to dry - especially financially. No sign of any support coming his way unless, of course, he suddenly appears again as a key player in the new administration.

This has been covered, you just weren't reading.
Agree there were numerous cases but that doesn't mean there was no fraud. Not enough to change the result but still there as in most elections.
The cases Trump lost were heard in state courts in Dem states like
Wisconsin
It's all moot anyway
I saw an article that Trump is planning on bringing in national standards for federal elections. This would have to be passed by congress and predictably the haters are already saying he is putting the fix in.
However the ideas I saw mooted are pretty much what we do in this country anyway. For instance having one standard process for voting across all states (ballot papers), making election day a national holiday to help people vote and stuff like that.
It's ridiculous that Arizona took about 5 days to declare the Presidential result and that some congressional races across the country have still not been announced.
We'll see if anything comes of it.

Not actually correct; I seem to recall Georgia for example had a Republican Governor who is still in place today.
If, as you suggest there was fraud just last week, why is it not being called out and investigated - irrespective of it making no difference to the result?

The chaos surrounding COVID and how to handle an election was the primary factor that caused all the miss trust.
People were dying in significant numbers, low income households were still claiming financial support, democrat door knockers were filling in or encouraging vote completion with no physical ID required on mail in ballots.
With some evidence of fraud (seemingly one way) and razor thin winning margins it was prudent to challenge.
The chart showing ballots cast in the past 4 elections is enlightening and certainly open to interpretation depending on which side you support!
Just before the election a US judge rule in one state regarding postal voting. The judge ruled that ballot papers received post election and without post marks should still be counted. A ridiculous decision.
Imagine a candidate in a close vote so post election day his supporters round up a few hundred people who haven't voted and persuade them to send in postal votes.
This ruling only applies in one state and maybe overturned but this is the sort of differences between states that Congress needs to eliminate.
In this country if your ballot paper is not received by election day then tough it is not counted and that is how it should be.

Putin signed up personally for a few postal votes. He got Farage, Orban and Modi to send in a couple too.

'Cruise company offers four year 'skip forward' package to avoid Donald Trump's presidency'.
You can also take a one year 'Escape from reality' or a two year 'Mid-term selection'.
I think I'll take the four year option.
$150,399 for a single passenger, actually that's a bargain price surely.

The Left have probably been disconnected from reality for at least the last 25 years so what would change?

Tom Cruise? There might be a bit of indoctrination involved.

I see nothing to object to in having nationally agreed standards. Not though ones imposed by one Party in a way which favours them. That would just widen the divisions at a time when closing them was never more needed. So cross party support is needed.
In any case I am not sure this is something in the power of Congress but which is the responsibility of individual states.

Praise be to Nero's Neptune
The Titanic sails at dawn
Everybody's shouting
"Which side are you on?"
And Ezra Pound and T.S. Elliot
Fighting in the captain's tower
While calypso singers laugh at them
And fishermen hold flowers
Between the windows of the sea where lovely mermaids flow
And nobody has to think too much about
Desolation Row
[Bob Dylan]
Apart from my post that Trump is planning to introduce federal standards for these elections.
