I didn't quite catch that when it was on the news. How can electronic media leave a mark from deleted text?
Another conspiracy theory?

I hope Republicans can see their error in giving a 70-year-old cry-baby the US nuclear arsenal as his toys.

What a pair of tits - Johnson and his graphic designer. Surely he could have started a new message from scrap? Or not enough space on his hard drive? :lol:

Trump's picked up the 3 expected EC votes from Alaska. Biden can still get 306 from the remaining two states. Does anyone know what states Trump's contesting? It seems he needs to win or overturn 3 states.

He'll need all three of them, or Arizona. Still can't understand his current price.

There is to be a full recount in Georgia by hand. :o

BREAKING
Georgia announces recount by hand
Georgia's secretary of state has announced a full recount of the vote by hand.

Joe Biden leads in the Peach State by around 14,000 votes, Secretary Brad Raffensperger said.

"That'll be what we certify, that'll be the last count," he told reporters. "It's an audit, recanvass and recount all in one. It'll be a process that gets it all."

Raffensperger added that Georgia was in the same part of the election process as other states, like North Carolina and Texas, but those states didn't have such a close margin.

"We understand the national significance," he added. "We're doing this because it's really what makes the most sense... We have to run a statewide audit."

Even if Joe Biden wins by further (very unlikely) it's the only way to restore faith in the election process. Raffensperger even said a couple of days ago there is no doubt people voted twice and some people voted even though they didn't meet the state's requirements.

I hope every single vote is counted in front of a camera. They have to find a way to appease the Republican crybabies. :)

The big thing in there is 'audit'. There's no point doing a recount as it'll just be the same result but an audit will disqualify quite a few votes, primarily mail-in ones.

my main hope is that the recount tallies no more/no less votes than originally presented!!

yeah, i think that's 100% correct. we may see a small number of badly cast votes but I doubt anywhere near the margin of 14k :D. tbh, trump had this all planned months back when he started rumbles about how he felt about postal votes (despite having of course done it himself in the past). by asking his own voters to vote in person, he almost ensured that casting doubt on the postal vote would buy him time and allow him to push out conspiracy theories. i admire how bush and boris just cut to the chase and called up biden to congratulate him.

It won't remove suspicion that the ballots in the count shouldn't all have been there in the first place, either because they were harvested or submitted late nor will it remove suspicion that ballots were destroyed at mail centres - it should remove suspicion of (or expose) any counting computer hacking.
