Today on the Madwell Show, chaos and uncertainty around the election. This is the inevitable

result of a confused and haphazard voting system combined with a total lack of trust in the media

and our institutions. The media now scolds Americans who question the election results,

but it's their own fault for giving us so many reasons to doubt everything they tell us.

Also, five headlines, including moves all across the country to legalize drugs,

is it time for the GOP to make marijuana legalization part of its platform and in our daily

cancellation, I will cancel national geographic for speculating that prehistoric people 9,000 years ago

may have been proponents of left-wing gender theory. All of that and much more coming up. But

let's begin here with something very simple. Here's my radical position, okay? All of the legal

and valid votes should be counted and we should make sure that they're counted correctly.

That's it. That's my whole position. It should be uncontroversial by partisan.

But apparently it's not. Apparently it's an extreme right-wing talking point to advocate for

careful and correct tabulation of the results. Somehow, in fact, it undermines the legitimacy of our

election. It undermines the legitimacy of our election to make sure that the election is legitimate.

This is what we're being told. And we're being told this again by the same people who for years

called Trump an illegitimate president with no evidence or reason for that claim.

So here's the reality. Even without any indication of malfeasance, even if there were no hints of

possible subterfuge, I would still be saying that there should be recounts and audits for three

rather important reasons. Number one, it's an extremely close election with the results in some

states coming down to less than one percentage point separation between the candidates,

which puts it in the range where recounts can be done already. If only a comparatively few votes

determine the outcome of a hotly contested election, there is reason to go back and make sure
