In 2020, Chief Judge Stuckey of the US Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces directly invoked Caesar’s divorced spouse:
“Judges, like Caesar’s wife, should always be above suspicion. An impartial and disinterested trial judge is the foundation on which the military justice system rests, and avoiding the appearance of impropriety is as important as avoiding impropriety itself.”
In judicial ethics, the mere appearance of potential fraud is disqualifying. Same goes here. Whether or not there is widespread fraud occurring, there certainly could be, and it doesn’t matter how many times you scream, “There’s no widespread fraud”— a lot of people still believe there is, and there’s no way to actually validate it.
This isn’t just about whether or not fraud is swinging the election. The appearance of fraud already is swinging the election. People rightly have zero faith in this janky, inefficient system. They feel like their vote isn’t being counted. They feel like illegal ballots are being cast, and they’re not wrong to worry about it.
There’s literally no safeguards in place to prevent that from happening, and way too many openings for it to occur on a massive scale.
