We may vote for our dead in ND, but we don't allow our dead to vote!

If there were illegal votes, don't you think the Dems would've been smart enough to also rig the Senate elections?

You say that like just because I supposedly listen to Trump then it's false... What is wrong with making sure things are being handled correctly?? Just like ensuring that poll watchers were allowed to check on things...

What does that mean? Nothing. Nothing at all.

Once we realize that the only people we really know are ourselves, we'll be better off.

I think this is an interesting topic and it appears as though there are different opinions on it. (shocking I know)
Here's a couple of links that I have been reading.

Personally I tend to believe the things that are important to one can and does change their way of thinking as they get older.
I'll use myself as an example.
I'm at the age where I'm close to retirement and take my retirement saving very seriously.
I know I didn't pay much attention to retirement at a young age and to be honest, wish I had.

Seriously, how do people not think randomly finding 30k or more ballots is not shady. You can misplace a bin of ballots but I’d imagine it’s pretty hard to misplace a moving truck full.

Oh for sure. And us racists are just following him because its him.

114k in PA
13K in Georgia

I like the Clark County Registrar guy who is talking right now. He clearly went over all the numbers and what is needed to ensure an accurate vote count. Then the media continues to ask questions about everything he just went over. And he is actually calling them out on it. Wish more people would do this during press conferences. See that happening all the time. Hey reporter, how about you listen the first time?

I'm a BIG fan of that Georgia #. I'm not convinced Biden has 65% of the vote w/ 50k left because it's outside Atlanta.

You think 30k pieces of paper is a moving truck full?

I agree there is still value on Trump in Georgia. It's going to be super close.

If only we had a high-profile American who did that.

Biden getting 5 million more votes than Obama in 08 is basically impossible. Especially with Trump gaining a bit in Hispanic/Black votes.

Well significantly higher voter turnout will do that. Trump will have more votes than Obama did in 2008 as well, voter turnout was great in this election. When you have a large push for mail in ballots, it significantly increases the odds more people will vote.

What happened to all of that voter fraud Trump investigated back in 2016? He set up a commission and everything and found ... nothing.

Just like now.

Hey, if Trump didn't cut funds to the Post Office and if state Republicans had allowed early vote tallies, none of this would be happening. Trump would've lost on election day instead of after.

My hopeful candidates for 2024- in my opinion the best way for the country forward on both sides.
I would say Tulsi Gabbard on the left. Clearly the most sane person in the party. The mainstream left hates her- she destroyed Kamala which already gives her points in my book. Anti war candidate, she isnt a puppet like Biden.
and- as much as I dislike mainstream news... Tucker Carlson. If he ran I think he would have a great shot and would be way more articulate than Trump and knows the issues.
Now you can scoff at these choices and tell me im crazy.

For an old, Boring, 78 year old like Biden to get more than that is incomprehensible. He didn't campaign, he has zero charisma and he's had multiple failed runs. Yet. he is on track to break records?? Please.

His turnout was amazing, yes, but there’s also the other factor of most republicans knew that Obama had it in the bag. Fringe voters can easily have the excuse “well my vote doesn’t matter Obama is going to win anyway”.

I only trust people from Cobb County in Georgia

I agree on the Tulsi but Tucker would be too big of a pay cut unless he can pull a Biden.

If you look at that vote breakdown by county, view the percent by county, and assume the remainder for each county will come in like what has been reported...

Biden's lead will grow and it'll finish about 50.7% Biden and 49.2% Trump. A

According to what I saw, Clark county has, by far, the most total votes, the lowest percent reported so far and the largest gap in Biden's favor.

Just like the polls that had Biden +17 in WI on election day. This is fishy at best.

Here’s the thing, Trump pushed his followers not to vote via mail, to vote in person. Those votes are counted first. He hasn’t benefitted from a big vote drop because a majority of these vote drops are mail in votes.

So why would Trump get a huge mail in vote addition when he specifically told republicans to vote in person, not via mail?
