Because by summer he KNEW he was losing to Biden. He knew he was going to need an excuse - because Trump could never admit to losing at anything. So I was not surprised at all when Trump and his closest followers started crying fraud. But I am shocked at how many people believe this with no supporting evidence.
Going all the way back to the summer of 2016, you mean. Remember, he was crying "rigged!" back then, too. He suddenly changed his tune when he actually won. That tells you all you need to know.

And Tweets:


Of course there is large scale voter fraud happening on and before election day. Why do Republican leaders deny what is going on? So naive!

The election is absolutely being rigged by the dishonest and distorted media pushing Crooked Hillary - but also at many polling places - SAD

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 16, 2016

Hillary Clinton should have been prosecuted and should be in jail. Instead she is running for president in what looks like a rigged election

I was talking about predicting fraud before the election. I don’t think Hillary did that. And I don’t believe Hillary refused to concede. But anyway, this thread is about Trump voters.

You’re calling it fake, but you’re not specifically refuting any of it.

Difference being the DC folks on both sides are making tons of money off of politics and the people on here nothing.
I think the larger point is that Trump supporters hated Bill and Hill during the time that Trump was palling around with them. I suspect that most of Trump supporters weren't big fans of Trump back then either.

I suppose in their minds Trump somehow became "enlightened" and came to their point of view. Others of us have watched this guy operate for 40 years and realize that he is basically an opportunist and realized that his "evolution" was in part to attract a following among right wing reactionary types.

Whether or not Trump is still friends with the Clintons these days is not as important as to why Trump was friends with the Clintons in those days. Why didn't he see the Clintons as the evil people that all the other righties did at that time? And if Trump finally saw the light so to speak. Why would you want to support a guy that was so slow on the uptake?

But, I will say - something Hinky went down before and on Election Night.
These articles are a simple summary of how experts in forensic auditing would describe November. Succinctly, they suspect fraud because there were red flags stacked up so thick they could be seen from space, all pointing in the same direction.

Unfortunately, much of the nation failed their IQ test when they refused to examine the evidence for themselves.

All it took was some reassurance, repetition and a smokescreen of legalese for them to capitulate to the narrative.

Don't blame the author. Facebook expunged his article, so he had to use his hobby-ist blog to convey the content.

Isn't that ironic, given the topic of this thread?

It was 100% rigged. Why the heck are they, to this day, still trying to make it where people don't need an ID to vote? They need this so they can cheat once again. Why all the illegals coming in? So they can use them for voting in future elections.

Dems rigged the election and are trying best they can to rig future elections. Anyone that can't see that is just lying to themselves.

An even more abbreviated version: Waaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh! They don't like me! It must be their fault!

Every single one of these ridiculous complaints has been debunked. Time to move on.

Maybe because the "examples" have been brought up by those with a different political agenda? Once again: They don't agree with me! It must be something they did!

Yep. And because, where Trump is concerned, his followers are incapable of critical thinking, they swallowed his nonsense hook, line, and sinker.

Not all states allow early vote counts. Pennsylvania's Republican legislature expressly forbid it.

The democrats didn't want to count the mail in ballots as they came in because they wanted to know how many Trump would get so they could produce and beat what Trump got.
See above.

"Everyone" had ballots sent to them? Really? Please do provide evidence of this (nonsensical) claim.

Exactly. The League of Women Voters is about making sure voters have the ability to make an informed decision.

Horse hockey. MAGA was about Trump. Amazing that people still can't see that.

Michigan, as well. Can't start counting mail-in ballots until the polls close on election day.
