What you do know, however, is that the press is suppressing news that
would cast doubt on the legitimacy of the election.

Which is a mighty good indication that election is not legitimate.

This is the inverse of the poster girl rule.

The poster girl rule is that the if the poster girl or poster boy for X
is fake, X is fake - lynchings, rape on campus, etc.

The inverse of the poster girl rule is that if stuff that should make
the news strangely cannot make the news, as for example the
multitudinous examples of voter fraud that poll watchers and president
Trump are complaining about, that stuff is real.

Recapping on my favorite fake poster girl story:

Obama administration told University campuses that there was a rape
crisis on campus - which in a sense is true, but not at all true in the
sense that the Obama administration intended.  From the point of view of
women, the problem is that white high status big men on campus are not
raping them.  Women really don't like consent culture. In their bones,
they feel that consent is failing a shit test.  But they cannot express
this, even to themselves, so they express it in words that are socially
approved, but the real meaning of the words is inverted.

Obama administration, finding it strangely impossible to punish these
supposed rapes through the courts, commanded university admin to punish
them administratively.

University of Virginia investigated thirty something rapes on campus.
No disciplinary action in any of these rapes.

Rolling Stone concludes that the University of Virginia must be closing
its eyes to horrible horrible horrible brutal rape.  Investigates.
Disaster ensues.
