If on Election Day it shows Biden or Trump Win both the popular vote and EC by a hefty margin will you support them contesting the election or should they Conceded?

Me personally if Trump wins the the EC by say 300 and Biden is maybe 270 or 280 I'll say its over Biden should concede since we know the popular vote doesn't win you the election.

It depends on whether there were shenanigans. If things seem fishy, I wouldn’t expect someone to concede and just accept an unfair election. This is especially true with Trump who the left has been trying to illegally throw out of office since he was elected.

This post is disregarding any potential election fraud. Wanna know how democrats seem to so easily be able to argue? They constantly drop swaths of facts that they consider.

I've said before the whole sending out millions of ballots without people requesting them is sketchy. If you want a mail in ballot request one fill in the info and send it back its easy.

How exactly does an individual American contest an election? Go out into the middle of the street and howl at the moon? Write a sternly-worded letter? lol.

ikr,...the left has been contesting Trump's win for the past 4 years,..lol.

"Not My President!" ;p

Silly.

Barring some glaringly obvious 'caught red handed' cheating... If Biden win's so be it. If Trump wins , so be it.


My life doesn't revolve around some old man/woman miles away in a nice office.

I got plenty to take care of in my own world.

People put way too much stock and less effort into this political game. There are ways to do things,..but sure.,.pick up a brick and throw it...

Pick up the shattered pieces of your lives and move on.

Contest by the American people won't support the election results and have decided its rigged encourage the candidate to fight it.

Personally I'm not going to contest anything but if there is evidence of cheating and back door dealings I would expect Trump to stand up and fight.



I see the election being close and due to all the mail in ballots the Dems will conveniently find just what Joe needs on the back of a loading dock, in someones trunk or in a closet to push him over the top in key districts.

They have pretty much said this is what they will do if he should lose on election day.



This is such a pivotal election for the future of our nation. Trump might not be ideal but given what the Dems are scheming for us and how poorly they have been behaving over the last 4 years I hope Trump can win both the EC and the popular vote. We the People need to send the Democrats a message.

But only if there's evidence of Democrats cheating, right? Because Trump has already openly admitted to cheating by downsizing the USPS so fewer mail-in ballots can be counted. It's only rigged if Trump loses, right?
