We can only hope that literally being the ones to be involved in counting the votes and seeing the results for themselves first hand is enough to get them to accept reality.

A long shot, but if these people genuinely believe that there was election interference and they aren't simply looking to knowingly commit fraud, there's a chance they might acknowledge the facts in the end if the results really are just undeniable.

Edit: This American Life did an episode back before the 2020 election about an election administrator who basically made it his priority to make the process as transparent as possible so that election deniers could see under every stone and explore every nook of the process.

And I think it both speaks to the power of transparency as an antidote, but is also a bit sad how this guy bends over backwards to accommodate these people and is still treated with suspicion. Really interesting listen and highlights how fair elections really do rest on the shoulders of these lower level workers.

Harris is going to win by 10M popular votes and lose because three counties in Georgia and Pennsylvania just refuse to count votes from blue-leaning districts.
