US midterm elections coming up this Tuesday.

There will be a fairly large number of tight contests, and in each one of them, someone who thought they might win will lose. And none of them, and none of their supporters, will be be happy about it.

Remember that this is not, in and of itself, evidence of fraud.

@mattblaze we also need to keep in mind that people *committing* (or trying to commit) fraud are often the quickest and loudest people to accuse someone else of fraud.

@wordshaper How do we know that? The amount of actual documented fraud in modern US elections has been so miniscule that I'm not sure it's possible to generalize about it.

@mpjgregoire I’m sorry, but why are you asking? This is an incredibly broad, open-ended question that would require quite a bit of effort to answer properly. There are multiple variables at play that make this a non-trivial question.
