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.

dude he's been declaring victory for 4 fucking years. none of what he's going to do will be new

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.

Because he's very old, unhealthy, and tired.

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.

Anyone see "A Storm Foretold"? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt22306998/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
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.

I'm shocked, just shocked i tell you. It's not like they've been saying this is what they're going to do for literally months.
-
Give us some quick blue swings then, to shut him up.

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?
It's a feature, not a bug.
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.
This is more of a "you never go full retard" moment
Remember what happened to election denial in 2020. It failed. Multiple things will ensure it fails again:
MAGA was wrong then and they're wrong now. When the dust settles they'll fail again.
Nailed it.
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
No one ever accused the magabrainz of being logical.
