Another election? There isn't a need or reason

This letter is in response to one by Len Golding published here. He asks a few pertinent questions.
- Why can't we have another election? Len, we just had one. Obvious to all observers is that your guy lost, so now you want a do-over. It doesn't work that way. Read the Constitution for the rules on this.
- No mail-ballots? In Texas, the 50 counties with the most non-white voters closed 542 polling places in a further effort by Republicans to suppress voter turnout. This is why mail-votes are essential. The GA primary saw people standing in line for 5 hours because of polling place closures.
- The comment about non-citizens voting, dead people voting, and ballots counted twice is 100% without merit or factual basis.Turn off Fox and Rush Limbaugh and you won't be subjected to such nonsense as this.
- Sure Len, stop all media ads. Great idea. But when Trump turns a "press conference" at a landscaping company into an attack ad or one at the White House into a campaign for re-election, that's OK. Isn't it?
- A "legal" election? Nowhere, in any context, from any legitimate source, is there evidence of illegality in this election. Because DJT said, "If I lose, it was fraudulent" is the ONLY reason you believe this.
- One question for you Len, and many others: Would your letter EVER have been written it Trump had won? No, of course not. It's only illegal if a Democrat wins, isn't that right? We never heard ANY of this when Obama or Clinton won.
