And this time it was just too hard to cheat while democrats were actually in power?

Do you guys listen to yourselves talk?

Here's a simple explanation for 2020, it was the easiest year to vote ever. It was awesome, shit got sent to your house, you filled it out at home, and then you dropped it in a box. Best experience I've ever had voting. You make it easier to do the thing and more people do it is not surprising to me in the slightest. You make it more difficult again and that number goes back down is also not a surprise.

I agree with your simplicity point. That's one of the most simple answers, and the majority of the time that is the case when it comes to anything.

The only logical thing I can think of when it would come to rigging elections in this specific case, would be that getting caught doing so while in office would be much worse than getting caught while trying to obtain office, so there would be more on the line overall. Especially if the incumbent has a strong message of democracy, while the non incumbent has been accusing you of cheating (prior). Otherwise it would be a pretty poor conspiracy theory.

A more believable conspiracy theory perhaps, maybe to some, would be if you said it was due to a worldwide pandemic, and because of the chaos, worry, extreme fear, and heavy focus on saving lives, who's going to care if an election was rigged, or the call by some for an investigation being shrugged off because it easily could be? That would be something that would make one think, but would still just be a conspiracy theory.
