Wait… GOP is declaring victory on Tuesday, while also being the impetus behind assuring that the full results won’t be available until later in the week… at the earliest?
Same as "stop the count" which is essentially forcing mail-in votes (mostly dems) to be registered after the election closes, and whining that votes are still being registered after it closes.
Yes, they want weeks of no official result being declared, during which they say Trump definitely won, so that when the final result comes in, if it’s Harris, they can say Democrats are trying to overturn the election
ALLENTOWN, Pa.—Republican Donald Trump accused Democrats of conspiring to steal the election at his Pennsylvania rally on Tuesday, though ballots haven’t yet been counted. He also claimed that he is already winning the election, based on early voting data, which can show ballots returned by party affiliation and gender, not how the individual voted.
“We’re leading in every single swing state,” Trump said to cheers. The arena, which can fit about 10,000 people, is mostly full.
That’s why we ALL need to vote. No excuses, just do your minimum civic duty and vote, if only to cover the margin of shenanigans that the GOP is counting on to cause trouble.
For a while now, the story on the right has been that Trump is cruising to victory and that he’s way ahead. They say that the Harris campaign has collapsed and the only way they can win the election is by stealing it. Now, that’s just as untrue as it was four years ago but that hasn’t stopped Trump from telling the same lies on the campaign trail this year.
Why do you think he didn't really campaign as much this time. The only thing he will accept is a win. No matter what happens and no matter the difference is in a Kamala win, he'll claim they cheated.
Why not both? He's probably surrounded by scum and villainy just like before - Stone and Bannon and other disgusting garbage people - that tell him they'll be ensuring a "win" even if he doesn't actually win.
I don't know that Kamala will win or not, but when Biden actually did win in 2020, it was plain as day that the fascists were going to try something to steal it away...this time around, I think Biden's admin should plan a few "Presidential acts" against some very key players that are still running around free.
I just learned last night that there's a pattern called the "red mirage", apparently well known but new to me, that happens reliably on US national election nights. Smaller counties with fewer people finish their vote counts sooner than larger counties, so they report earlier. Since more Republicans live in low-population areas and more Democrats live in denser urban areas, this means a wave of republican votes comes in early, creating what's called the "red mirage", followed by a wave of democratic votes. This makes Republican candidates look like they're ahead.
Trump counted on this in 2020 and probably in 2016. When he announces an early victory while the "red mirage" is still happening (assuming it even does this time) many of his followers will call it a night. When they hear Harris has won it will reinforce Trump's lie, because in their minds they already "saw" him win.
