Or that 3rd party went from 7% to 2%

let's intentionally erode the public's faith in the vote for no other reason than to erode the public's faith in the vote!

I was leaning towards just forgetting about him but at this point I think I’m in favor of prosecuting him in February

These are fascinating takes from a party who was once lead by a person who as late as this past summer was doing one interview after another where she repeatedly implied that she was somehow cheated out of winning the election in 2016.

I suppose, when one party is filled with millions who believe that, and lead by agents of de-legitimization (Vlad's favorite kind of people) for 4 years, then there is a level of recognition of similar events that must be discussed.

Another positively fascinating (and enjoyable) thing is the great joy that BidenVoter is getting out of bringing up Pubs talking about GA in 2018, while failing to also recognize that Abrams refused to accept the results of the election for several weeks.

I do take solace in one thing. Had this current situation been reversed, I think we can all agree that multiple U.S. cities would be burning right now, and the ongoing widespread violence would be extremely dis-heartening.

And thus begins the multi-year meltdown just because Donald Trump lost

The silver lining here is that if he's successful in eroding republican faith in the electoral process, they probably won't turn out in the Georgia senate runoff election.

The meltdown from a Trump loss will burn brighter than a thousands suns

I don't remember any of that happening when Donald Trump won in 2016 and that election was much closer.

But go ahead and cling to your fanfic

I don't remember Dems going nuts after Bush won Florida by 500 votes in 2000. Did Dems go nuts? Was there a smooth transition? Was there a smooth transition last year when Trump barely beat Hill-Dog?

sonofdaxjones · « **Reply #2435 on:** November 10, 2020, 01:59:54 PM »

They were already marching and rioting when it was becoming more clear Biden would be the likely winner.

Oh well, maybe your dial-up is broken.

Hillary still talks about how she wished she hadn't conceded.

Also excellent job of not discussing the fact that Florida 2000 was fleshed out over the course of a . . . month.

Another hypothetical election result following all of Trump's successes over the hypothetical Hillary presidency.

Yep. 1 state. Trump is losing PA, GA, AZ, WI, MI, etc by 10k+ votes, not less than 1,000. Trump's effort at this point is to burn America's confidence is elections to the ground on his way out.

Your party literally spent 4 years falling for every conceivable de-legitimization campaign Vlad Putin could think up. Remember, the Russian BOT farms actually increased their activity after the election to get ~~HillaryVoter~~ BidenVoter all stirred up.

Only to come to realize that most of the rage was conjured up on a fantasy produced by a former foreign intelligence officer sourced via Russian assets. I mean

Now you're worried about confidence in America

WildcatNkilt · « **Reply #2441 on:** November 10, 2020, 02:24:49 PM »

As it stands right now:

WI: Biden +20k 99% in
AZ: Biden +15k 98% in
GA: Biden +12k 99% in
MI: Biden +150k 99% in
NV: Biden +36k 97% in
PA: Biden +47k 98% in
NC: Trump +75k 98 in

There is no reason Trump should not concede at this point. It's time for transition teams to come in. America picked their President.

That's .002% of the total votes cast.

Your party would be demanding a recount across the board if the situation were reversed.

How many recounts were there in 2016 when there were smaller margins?

Again, Dems aren't my party. My party is the ones demanding the recount and it is ridiculous. If you think Trump is going to get 100% of votes left to count in WI, MI, PA, AZ, NV, and GA you are delusional. Also, PA law does not require a recount if gap is > .5%. Right now it is at .7% and climbing. WI will only pay for a recount if the margin of victory is under .25%....so right now Trump needs to open his checkbook if he wants one there. The rest of the states are irrelevant, though it looks like Biden won all but NC.
