I was interested to read John Balentine’s oped piece, “What’s a conservative to do?” (Here’s Something, Jan. 28) However, I did pick up on a slight oversight he made while stating “conservatives have plenty to be proud of and plenty to look forward to.” Among his listed items was “still-unresolved questions surrounding 2020’s election results.”
I wonder if he might be thinking of the triple hand-counted ballots from Georgia, or was it maybe those darn Dominion voting machines with the totally wild conspiracy around them? The former mayor of New York City may be able to elaborate on after he gets out from under his millions of dollar libel suit from the manufacturer, or perhaps to elaborate could be none other then Christopher Krebs, the former president’s director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, who said this election “has been the safest in our country’s history.”
I understand this is an opinion column, but when the facts are there, why not use them? There is no evidence these facts are “unresolved.”
