Believing in democracy means believing in the validity of each vote. When elections are questioned without evidence, it’s not just the candidate to suffer-it’s all of us. A functioning democracy requires faith and its processes, even if the result isnt what we wanted. It works because it respects the will of the majority while protecting the rights of the minority.
In the end, it’s about respect for a process much bigger than anyone election cycle. Let’s each take responsibility for our actions on and offline, remembering that a resilient republic depends on each of us. Together, we can resist the pull of unfounded, electoral doubts, and choose a path, rooted in trust, verification, and a commitment to the truth.
