It's just infuriating how many otherwise normal people believe that there's a problem with counting votes after election day.  Like you are supposed to just stop at midnight or something.  The sight of a bunch of west michigan and macomb county white people storming Cobo Hall demanding that they stop counting the votes of mostly black people. In 2020. Not 1876, not 1920.... 2020.

 

They could have counted the write-in votes ahead of time.  The Republicans didn't allow it because they wanted to make it look like the election was stolen.

the interesting argument here is does it matter if he kept saying he didn't believe people. After all it's what he would say even if he did understand the facts but his strategy was to willfully deny them. Can the Costanza defense hold water in a court of law?

He'd have a better chance claiming insanity.

Yep, there is no reason why local clerk's offices can start counting mail-in/absentee votes before Election Day. If someone wants their ballot back they can simply find that ballot number, spoil the ballot, and allow the person to revote with a new ballot. Additionally, if, like Trump, you are worried about votes being counted over night and into the early morning hours, you can allow Clerks to count them prior to Election Day as they come in.

That's basically what they did in Michigan for the Democratic primary. Especially since two candidates dropped out days before the primary. I'm not sure of the votes were counted in advanced at the registrars office though.

Meanwhile in the general, Republican controlled legislatures like Pennsylvania passed laws forbidding early counting of mail in votes (the Pa Legislators championed voting by mail early in the pandemic. Until Trump said differently.

Trump raised almost $250 million, $150 million in the first week after the election, on claims of election fraud that they knew to be false.

That sounds like fraud itself to me!

He's been a fraud for 40 years.  It is baffling how many can not see it.

This is as big of a crime as the lies leading up to 1/6. This puts him into the TV Evangelist category. Just shows how much he despises the poor folks who voted for him. If he does run again I'd make it the cornerstone of my campaign. He lied and swindled you....

TV ministers have been doing it for years. Before that itinerate "snake oil" salesmen. Not to mention politicians.  Poor and desperate people fall for these scams, the ones we think know better and just riding his coat tails for the power and money.

Exactly why some people don't want critical thinking taught in schools. Or even money management.

I'm old enough to get briefly sucked in by the Columbia Record Club and Book of the Month clubs.
