Do people really think there were never any errors? When trump won in 2016, do you think every single vote was counted accurately? The Wayne County board certified results in 2016 with more irregularities than there are this year. Why are they only raising a fuss in 2020?

When you have over 150 million people voting there will be a few errors and misses. But every secretary of state has said there were no major issues and that there are not enough votes to change the declared winner of each state.

No election is perfect. But 2020 was a decisive victory for Biden. He will end up with over 80 million votes, probably 7 million more than trump.

It's time to move on.
Anybody other than Donald Trump would have conceded the Saturday after the election when the race was called. This election isn't that close, but Donald Trump is intent on overturning democracy.

However, I've been saying for years that Donald Trump isn't leaving office peacefully and that he'll burn down the country on his way out. That's exactly what we are seeing play out right now. And I also don't think we are out of the woods yet in terms of the possibility of a hard coup. Of course, the Trump supporters simply say there's no way Trump could have lost so Trump is the rightful president no matter what, but they have no evidence to show that. Therefore, it will be a coup.

Oh wait, it was US telling YOU that if Biden beat Trump... THEN you would be talking about all the fraud that was going on. I remember now.


Trump warned us for months that all this BS early mass mail out of ballots was going to provide a huge potential for SNAFUS and fraud.......

And he was right.

Trump is always right just because he's against abortion and hates gays. That's all that matters in 2020.

You'll overthrow democracy if that's what it takes to force gays back in the closet and women back in the kitchen. That's literally where we are in this country. This is Christian terrorism.

"Dan Rather offered viewers of CBS last night the equivalent of a money-back guarantee. 'If we say somebody's carried the state, you can take that to the bank. Book it!' he asserted.

"But there was a faulty deposit. In an embarrassment of major proportions, the networks were forced to retract a projection that had given Vice President Al Gore the state of Florida early in the evening. Given the vast resources that both campaigns had invested in the state -- the fourth richest, in terms of electoral votes, and pivotal to both candidates' fortunes -- it was perhaps the most important call of the evening.

"Spokesmen for several of the networks attributed the mix-up to 'problems' in the data supplied by the Voter News Service, the polling organization run by a consortium of networks and the Associated Press."

"Television networks tried to explain Wednesday how they blew a call on the Florida election results – not once but twice – the second time prematurely declaring George W. Bush the next president.

"The networks were forced to take back that call after 4 a.m. EST when it became clear that the close Florida count would be contested . . .

". . . At 9:55, CNN took back its projection, saying Florida was now too close to call. CNN election experts had noticed a discrepancy between a VNS estimate and the actual vote, a network spokeswoman said.

Other networks, VNS and the AP quickly took back their predictions of a Gore victory in Florida"

Trump has also shown us that mass mail in ballots are ripe for fraud and that those in power along with their media don't care. We also all know that if the mail in ballots and fixed voting machines were handing Trump a win our cities would be literally burning right now as the Dems threw a nutty.



Of course all this doesn't matter anymore because democracy is on life support and we shouldn't be surprised if by 2024 we are all voting with our phones/internet. What could possibly go wrong?
Amen Trump warned us and now everyday we see it in the news. It’s proof demcorats tried to buy the election

If Biden lost (according to the media), his supporters would be doing the same thing. Don’t kid yourself.

This source says it was never called.

https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/n...0-a98e96f6ea68

Bauder says the AP called it initially but pulled it back election night.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-sr...183922_000.htm

Has anyone changed their state call in the 16 days since election day in 2020? trump was apparently furious at Fox for being the first to call AZ, but they were proven correct.

As usual, B-Whacky is seeing evil Christians under his bed.

Hate to tell you Whack-a -Doodle.....but the vast majority of Republicans couldn't care less about either topic.


Certainly not enough to want to make gay marriage or abortion illegal.

Maybe put abortion back in the hands of the individual states, as the Founders intended just about everything to be......



Maybe try loosening up the screws on your tin foil helmet?

In PA and MI the Republicans caused the issues. I thought Republicans liked to beat their chest and say that they are the party of personal responsibility? Why are they blaming the Democrats when they are the ones at fault?
