The Democrats would count the ballots, not like the result, change the
rules for judging the ballots, not like that result, change the rules
again, and count once again.

Eventually they would have found some set of criteria, no matter how
absurd, that would have given the results they were trying to manufacture.
And you and yours would have trumpetted it as the only legitimate count.
