The election fraud lawsuits have started again.

The election fraud lawsuits have started again.

…

But Trump chose to stoke the flames Wednesday morning, posting on Truth Social that “Pennsylvania is cheating, and getting caught, at large scale levels rarely seen before.”

“Law enforcement must act, NOW!” he added.

Bucks County officials confirmed to NBC Philadelphia that they had been notified of the lawsuit, but did not provide further comment. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, meanwhile, shot back at the Republican presidential nominee, highlighting that Trump and his allies have spent the last four years actively corroding public trust in U.S. elections—and that they are currently warming up their second conspiracy to undermine the 2024 election results.

    that it was a R stealing R test ballots,

    For clarification, he and a number of other voters were pre-selected to test the functionality of the ballots and voting machines to ensure no glitches happen on November 5. And while they were not the final draft of the ballots that were actually used, they were legitimate ballots by actual voters who voted early, and those ballots were just as valid as the final drafts.

    So yeah, the guy stole 3 votes.

      It’s not even the stealing of votes that was the point of his actions, he stole them and then pointed to the machine as the issue telling someone “fucked count.” He is trying to get people to believe that the voting machines can’t be trusted to properly count which is exactly the point. If/when they lose they’ll point to things like this as an example of how the election was “stolen” to justify them stealing the election…

      God I hate these people…

      Thanks for clarifying that, I misunderstood. Given what you said, it sounds like somebody needs the book thrown at them.
