We are going into the 3rd week after the election and over a dozen House races are still undecided.

When does the voting REALLY stop? How can anyone defend this election process?
 
We all knew this was going to last weeks and Trump told us it would be decided in the courts. The Trump haters didn't agree (did they know about the fraud about to be committed?)...they said Biden in a landslide.

No...nobody can defend this. Thanks to the Trump haters, we all just have to wait and see how it plays out.

You have exactly zero evidence fraud was committed. Sorry. And yes, by trumps own measure, biden won by a landslide.

Ya mean, Trump lied about his own, 2016 "victory"? He can't have it both ways. (Trump twisted 232 into 223, like his "1917" Spanish Flu, gaff.)

Biden Has 306 Electoral Votes, the Same "Landslide" as ...

"I got 306 electoral votes against 223. That's a tremendous victory." Trump has also wielded his Electoral College margin as a weapon, using it in 2018 to taunt Democrats that he'd be ...

Or, are you under the influence of "hammer and scorecard"?

Mycroft:

See the bolded. More innuendo designed to weaken America's committment to democratic institutions. Your agenda is obvious and is pretty silly now too. Trump will not be the next POTUS because the people voted in such a way that he will not get enough EC votes for a second term. Deal with it and think about the damage your reckless strategy is doing to the democratic institutions of your own country. Your political kamikaze play is going to cause a Leyte Gulf style attack on democracy and could usher in a period of anti-democratic authoritarianism or leadership appointed by the courts. Grow up and think beyond your own parochial and ideological interests. Please.

Cheers and be well.

The people's votes have nothing to do with it. The vote counters are trying to decide. And yes...Trump knew it was going to happen this way. That's why he correctly told us that the courts would decide the election.

We didn't? I'm pretty sure most of us anticipated the possibility that Trump would challenge the results in court. We just recognize that likely would have happened regardless of whether there's any proof of widespread voter fraud or not. And yes, we can defend this until it's proven that anything resembling widespread voter fraud actually exists. Based on the way the courts have been settling these cases so far, I'm guess the answer is that they probably won't.

"widespread voter fraud" is irrelevant. Voter fraud in selected states is what matters.

Don't count your chickens, dude.

Trump most likely he knew he would lose; hence his 'prediction.'

There has to be a significant amount of voter fraud even in those states for it to have affected the results, which is why I'm calling it "widespread". There's been a few instances of it, sure. Is there proof yet that it's widespread enough to have changed the outcome, or that it's even more widespread than it was in previous elections? It appears unlikely based on the evidence Trump's lawyers have presented to judges and the way they've ruled so far.

The courts do not and can not decide an election. Votes do. The courts have tossed every one of trumps lawsuits for the complete and total lack of evidence of any of their allegations. You, like trump, have exactly zero evidence any fraud took place. Biden won and is going to be your president on 1/21/21.

There is no "most likely" about it. He told you quite clearly why the courts would decide...and he was right.

Whole lotta cheatin' going on. I cannot fathom someone who hd in the basement, got 12 pick up trucks at one event, none at another, and about 10 in crop circles in another beat someone who got 10,000 wildly cheering fans. It makes no sense unless votes were switched or carried in, and that is what seems to have happened according to the attorneys for Trump.

Problem is that these uber liberals listen only to the echo chambers at CNN and MSNBS and see fact checks by lefties about voter fraud that says Trump is lying and so they believe it.

I am thrilled with these demonstrations and think they should go on until 2024 and that the Republican Senate should not give one inch to Biden.

Lying - the #1 Democratic tactic. Even though Trump won 1, 2, 3 suits in Pennsylvania, you will dutifully keep posting the same lie - because that's all the Democratic Party has - lies.

As I said...the vote counters are trying to decide. That's why they are being taken to court.

Once they are taken care of, THEN the voters can decide as they should.

Trump is 0 for 13 so far in lawsuits. The only one he “won” was a single case in PA which allowed observers to observe from 6 feet instead of 20.

Mycroft:

What court has decided this election. So far they have mostly dismissed suits on behalf of Mr. Trump.

Have you considered that Mr. Trump premeditaedly and deliberately lied about large scale election fraud because he saw the court pathway as a route to bypass the democratic process if that democratic pathway did not go his way? That's a rhetorical question because you and your mendacious innuendo are dismissed.

Cheers and be well.

and as I pointed out, that is false. The voters decide.

They’ve lost every challenge so far due to zero evidence to support their allegations.

They are taken care of. Trump had lost every one of them. None of the remaining suits can mathematically change the outcome of this election, assuming they also are not dismissed due to zero evidence.

so, the facts remain unchanged. Biden won this election and will be the next president of the United States. And you have exactly zero evidence of fraud.

Just keep digging on your posting lies. The Supreme Court ordered segregation of Pennsylvania ballots - but as I said, you MUST post lies because Biden ordered you to NEVER accept facts. So you will post the same lies over and over. The most false your messages, the more you must post them.

Is that what Trump told you? He "knew he would lose the election"?

I don't think so.

Quit making shit up.
