Why the 2020 Election Still Matters

Things are getting interesting. Senior Trump officials are dropping hints regarding the 2020 election that aren't easy to dismiss: promises of concrete evidence, talk of imminent arrests. It’s finally starting to feel like the story the legacy media spent years trying to bury might finally be forced into the open. And if you've been following this closely, you already know why that matters.

As PJ Media previously reported, top officials inside the Trump administration are signaling that hard evidence is on the way, and that this evidence will show the 2020 presidential election was improperly decided and that Donald Trump actually won.

"He did win in a landslide, and we will soon be able to give evidence about that," Monica Crowley, the U.S. chief of protocol, said last week. She framed this coming material as definitive proof of Trump's victory. She didn't offer a timeline, explain the form the evidence would take, or get into specifics about what's being prepared. But the statement was clear enough.

So was what FBI Director Kash Patel said last month. "We are going to be making arrests, and it's coming, and I promise you, it's coming soon," Patel declared, emphasizing both certainty and urgency about imminent prosecutions connected to a coordinated scheme targeting the 2020 election.

Lip service? I don’t think so.

At this point, a fair question to ask is: why does any of this still matter?

Even if it were proven beyond a reasonable doubt, there's likely nothing that can be done about it retroactively. It would be satisfying to think that everything Joe Biden signed — or that his autopen scratched out in his name — could be invalidated, or that Ketanji Brown Jackson's appointment to the Supreme Court could be nullified. But even in the most optimistic scenario, that almost certainly wouldn't happen. The legal and constitutional machinery to handle such a thing doesn’t exist for such a situation.

So what's the point?

The point is the truth.

Knowing what actually happened in 2020 tells us exactly where the vulnerabilities are — which systems were exploited, which safeguards failed, and how to make sure the same irregularities and fraud don't happen again. That's no small thing. That's foundational to the credibility of every subsequent election.

There's also the matter of the narrative that Democrats and their allies in the media spent years pushing. The 2020 election, they insisted, was the most secure in American history. Anyone who pushed back was branded an "election denier" — a label, curiously, that was never applied to the parade of Democrats who still believe Trump stole the 2016 election from Hillary Clinton.

But it went beyond name-calling and shaming.

Questioning 2020 results could get you censored or deplatformed on social media, or writers like us at PJ Media demonetized. The coordinated effort to silence skeptics was absolutely Machiavellian. The message was simple: shut up, you lost, stop asking questions.

But if arrests come — if actual prosecutions regarding election shenanigans in 2020 do happen— it will validate everyone who refused to accept the official story at face value. It will prove the pressure campaign to silence them was exactly what it looked like: an attempt to protect the outcome that the Democrats wanted.

The most important outcomes here are accountability and prevention. The people who worked to compromise that election need to face consequences. And the rest of us need to know enough about what happened to make sure it never happens again. It might just be the catalyst we need to pass the SAVE America Act.

That’s why the 2020 election still matters.
