Looks like it comes down to Nevada.
Oh, sure. We could probably dig up another million votes in a Pennsylvania. Or some other states. But, to minimize the chatter about “cheating” it would help to just win Nevada. I’m up, even though the rural vote still needs to come in and those yee haws like Trump.
Capitalism is killing us. A state that thrives on greed, avarice, and tit bars is going to be the difference in the election. At least that’s what they are telling me. Come on Silver State. I can’t believe I’m going to be the Senator of the US!
Pennsylvania found a way to minimize votes for Trump. Just don’t let anyone watch the vote counting. No observers. Big trash cans marked with “place valid Trump votes here for counting”. Great job PA!
Come on, Nevada. How long does it take to count votes anyway. China wants an answer on who will be President. Don’t let them down.
Come on, man.
The president has been tweeting more this morning about wanting to “stop” the (legitimate, of course) vote count. Apparently, what Trump means, according to his campaign, is that they want to stop the count until the Trump campaign can monitor it (again, as I’ve said before, there is no proof of fraud.) The specific rules for partisans observing the vote-counting process vary from state to state and the National Conference of State Legislatures has a handy guide for those rules. But take for instance, Pennsylvania, which is a pretty big prize today. “Partisan observers are permitted to be present when absentee and mail-in ballot envelopes are opened, and when the ballots are counted and recorded,” the NCSL writes. In Arizona, “Partisan observers are authorized to observe processing at the county recorder’s office.” In Nevada, “Members of the general public may observe the preparation of absentee ballots at central counting boards.” So, it’s unclear why the Trump campaign would argue that these vote counts would need to be stopped so they can observe them; they’re already allowed to observe.
Actually, why Trump wants the votes stopped and why he’s lying about not being able to observe vote counting starts to become pretty clear when you take into account that the remaining votes are almost certainly very blue. He knows he has to prevent them from being counted in any way he can.
But we should not allow him to take our democracy from us. And if you think this blatant attempt at destroying our democracy is ok, then you are not only a bad person, you’re un-American.
