The blue wall is back baby, Biden takes MI

[sdskinsfan2001]

Please Republicans: Run someone under the age of 96 in 2024

Biden proving that if you suck off the teet of the taxpayers your whole life you can become president as a reward. Awesome message.

Bye bye Trumpy Trump

My girl Jo Jorgensen running at a solid 1.1%. Almost pulled off the 3rd party upset lol.

[sdskinsfan2001]

Democrats, win the Senate too. I want you guys to own all 4 years. Do what y'all want and we can all have a clean, fresh re-start election in 2024.

Trump firing off lawsuits like it's no ones business.

Man o man that would be a wild party.

My favorite analogy is comparing him to your boss. If your boss acted like he did, would you want him fired and do you think he would deserve it?

Yes and Yes.

Trump basically pissing on democracy by suggesting fraud, filing lawsuits, wanting recounts in some states, stopping the count in others... what a joke.

We know Biden will file lawsuits if states go against him...it’s par for the course

Bustos said Democrats have already dedicated $10 million this cycle to "litigation efforts" and are prepared to spend more post-election if the need arises.

"We will use every legal means necessary to make sure that we count every vote," she said.

That's the difference between Dems and Republicans, Biden supports every legal vote being counted, and Trump is pushing hard to stop counting mailed in ballots that were legally cast.

Yes...every LEGAL vote. Legal is key here and if votes aren’t legal, then that’s the problem. Interesting you don’t think proper oversight is needed to ensure this solemn right is protected.

I keep coming back to “if you commit a crime you should go to jail”...well we have laws which govern this great nation. I don’t here agreement on the other side for some strange reason

This is where it gets real nitpicky, because no doubt you are on the side that says if you didn't do it in front of a witness, or didn't follow all of the exact instructions to a T then the vote should be invalid. Whereas I disagree, minor clerical errors should not stop a vote from being counted. I trust the USPS system to make sure every ballot sent before or on election day was postmarked appropriately. I am fine with not counting ballots sent after election day.

I also trust given that we've had fair and free elections for 200 years that oversight has always been there so that citizens had confidence in the system. It's only a problem this year because POTUS is scared of losing.

"observe" is the term that people are having differing opinions on. I heard Trumps team (in that odd Guiliani press conf yesterday) say they were able to observe from a distance but werent able to see the specifics of each ballot and confirm names and signatures etc.

Thats more than "observe" in my opinion. Observe in this sense means being in the corner, out of the way, observing the process but not being a part of the process. Observe doesnt mean your people get access to each individual vote so you can vet and test every ballot for name and matching signatures etc. Trumps team basically wants access to each vote so they can do their own count.
