Maybe Trump is telling the truth!

If any of those claims are true then the Supreme Court will void the election.

Give everybody registered to vote a non-identifiable serial number. Give them a carbon copy or receipt. Log everybody's vote in a database. Publish all the serial numbers and anyone who's vote didn't count or went the wrong way can object. 8-)
+ 1

Cant they use their SSN and check that those numbers are not linked to someone who is dead ?

My assumption is that anyone who doesn't have a SSN is illegal.
A serial number for everybody registered or allowed to vote. I like that tweet on Kayliegh's page saying a lot of dead people had ballot papers but they were alive when they received them and died under Trump's handling of Covid-19!

Meanwhile in other news....

Steve Bannon has been banned from Twitter for calling for Dr Fauci to have his head put on a spike!

Omarosa Newman's pretty hot!! :D

Nice to see his former adviser sticking the knife in. :)

She must know him well and as I write she says over the next 2 months he'll accept he's lost the election and leave peacefully!

But will his supporters accept the outcome and be peaceful ?

I always find it strange that you can buy sticks of dynamite in Texas with a drivers license. :o

Stuart Ramsey just voiced his concern of violence and you could tell from his voice that he was really serious and fearful. He said Trump's comments are the most irresponsible of his presidency.

I hope I am wrong but I fear there is going to be allot of violence in the coming days, weeks and months. We may not agree with Trumps politics but many millions in the USA obviously do, weird I know. The scary thing is if just 0.01% of them take matters into their own hands then it potentially could spark a modern day civil war.

I don't understand why people think that Trump challenging the results makes him a sore loser, so to speak. If there was indeed illegal activity then that should be challenged. I don't care where you're from, but to say that you shouldn't question the legality of votes belongs somewhere in a communist playbook.

With the trend clear and Trump continuously drifting (price now over 15.00+) it's surely all over bar the shouting (and lawsuits).

It seems like the American electoral system has been fairly dysfunctional from 2000 onwards. Of the 6 elections , 4 have been very close and 3 disputed in courts (2000, 20016, 2020). Only Obama /(2008, 2012) got clear-cut wins.

It really seems like there are 2 different countries in US ''pasted together ' (red and blue states), and they're so polarized it just doesn't work any more. They're at each other's throats more and more , to the point where the whole system has become paralyzed. Each side seems to spend most of the time trying to paint the other side as evil incarnate, launching endless 'investigations' and trying to get political opponents that are basically just going about normal government business hauled off in handcuffs. I mean it's just *really* extreme stuff.

Biden winning ain't gonna fix it. He will barely be able to govern the way things are now.

It's not challenging the result that's the issue, it's claiming he's been cheated without any evidence or reasoning other than the fact that he expected to win but lost. He doesn't understand why Biden's sweeping up all the mail ballots. WTF does he expect when he told his supporters who follow him like sheep to vote in person? He also told his supporters to vote twice and he's got the flipping cheek to think he's being cheated! He is without doubt the biggest narcissist I've ever known and I've known quite a few.

Does anyone know how the legal expenses will be paid, is through campaign money that was raised? I noticed each candidate raises the money or puts it up themselves.... if the legal costs are funded by this then who spent the most or more importantly, who has more left in the pot.
Joe Biden has appealed for funds to help fight Trump's litigation.

At least he's upfront about it. We may never know who's pulling Biden's strings.

No narcissist is upfront about being a narcissist. A narcissist by definition doesn't know he or she is a narcissist!

What makes you think anyone's pulling Biden's strings? Who's pulling your strings?
