    Legal challenges will take weeks, but it's probably a foregone conclusion. Dems ain't losing this. And favorable courts in most of the States in question ensure they will win without breaking a sweat.

    edit: Still think Trumps team should fight like hell in WI and PA.

    The only way it gets turned around is a revote. Which I don’t think anyone has the energy for.

    I mean its obvious to anyone not being willfully ignorant the fix was in a few states, but yeah, recounting dead peoples ballots isn't going to change it. Covid and mail in ballots provided the perfect cover they needed. Nobody has the time to manually check millions of ballots for authenticity. Banana republic.

    If I was the GOP I would pull out all the stops in NC and GA for the Senate races. 'Murica! Where cheating works!

    Plus there's zero legal basis to initiate that. PA is on pace to end with a margin of 60-90k for Biden. The end results of this election will be wider than 2016. And despite Hillary having every establishment advantage possible, all the hope of somehow snatching back the election was pathetically feeble.

    Trump lost any chance at a win in the last months when all the mail in ballot shit started.

    That “trump has so many lawyers trying to suppress the vote, shame on him” is where the election was won

    I think I mostly agree. There just isn't a mechanism, short of the less than 1% recount, available. The time to force fair elections is at "point of sale." Covid and mail in ballots allowed for tom foolery. But forcing recounts of ballots, even if they are manufactured, won't change anything. They don't verify the validity of individual ballots during recounts. They just recount them. If 500 dead people voted in some county in WI, they are still going to have voted if you recount them. Election security is a huge problem in this country. I am sure both parties exploit it, but the Dems exploited it BIGLY this election imho.

    And frankly a recount isn't going to do shit. Jill Stein somehow found enough money to pay for a recount in Wisconsin in 2016. The end result? Trump's margin widened by a whopping 131 votes.

    If there was indeed fraud, then the Trump campaign and his army of lawyers will have every opportunity to contest that in court. And I'd be surprised if they don't fully pursue that, because Trump will never acknowledge defeat. And I know people here are pretty convinced by the Twitter evidence that keeps getting dropped, but good luck having that shit stick in an actual court of law.

    The left is patting itself on the back for voting out a man who helped pass prison reform in favor of a man who wrote legislation to send those same folks to prison in the first place. They are giddy to elect a man who selected a woman who called him racist for not wanting bussing because he didn't want his kids to go to school in a jungle.

    They're proud of themselves because in less than two years they will have the first female president whos family directly benefitted from slave ownership. They will be proud to call her president when she put thousands of black men in jail for minor drug offenses and laughed off smoking weed in college.

    Antifa is not showing any signs of slowing down- how much patience will they have when they continue to burn police precincts, harass individuals and stop traffic?

    Liberals are dancing because they ousted a man who halted travel to the country that brought us COVID in favor of a man who called him a xenophobe for that action.

    Good luck libs- looking forward to Nikki Haley in 2024

    Just tuned in the Today show.

    Savannah all decked out in blue. Chuck Todd - full blue suit, blue shirt, blue tie.

    Fuck those guys. Unity, right?

    Trump on the road the next two years stumping for his disciples in the House and local elections. Dude ain't just going away quietly to Mar A Lago.
