    1. @Jedi CRI Those votes that “magically appeared” were the early mail-in votes that some Republican governed state administrations wouldn’t allow to be counted until after the election day votes were counted. Those votes were overwhelmingly for Biden, as Trump voters voted on election day just like Trump wanted.

    2. @Paul Y Counting stopped for all these remaining States when it became clear Biden was losing big time in all these. Hours later, these ballots suddenly appear that happen to be all for Biden, which conveniently enough, were enough to make up the huge deficit for all these States.

    3. @Jedi CRI Trump wanted the counting to stop on election night when he still had leads showing for PA, MI and WI because he knew that the mail-in votes were mostly for Biden. Counting for the most part did not stop except to let workers sleep.
      PA, AZ and GA have Republican governed state administrations. Do you think these Republicans would be trying to help Biden win?

    4. @Jedi CRI Counting wasn’t stopped when trump was leading, they count all ballots even if its a landslide. Again as everyone has told you it is rather logically that when counting mail in ballots after the in person votes that these would heavily crew Biden. You don’t seem to understand how statistics work… Votes do not come in evenly…. and of course adding in that democrats are far more likely to have avoided in person voting while republicans continue to downplay covid and the effective safety measures.

    1. @PurpleStratocaster he never said he was going to ban fracking lol???????πŸ˜† he never said that he supports cutting social securities bernie exposed him on that its all over youtube look it up

    2. @J L oh you’re a doctor or medical expert are you? Well take a look and a listen to Trump. Judging by the way he talks and acts, he can easily be diagnosed as legally insane.

    1. @XcessiveZ Voice to text has told my Old Mum to [deleted… deleted] too many times… Pressed SEND, OH NO!!!!!!!!!!!
      and I am not careful enough to check the robot for [deleted] stupid mistakes. And too, using my fingnres to tpye. I try to understand when I am told[deleted] in this format of communications……
      Peace!

    2. @Jay Nguyen I feel like even if the cases do go forward, legal battles take years, Biden will probably be out of office by the time anything gets anywhere close to being resolved. My guess is they’ll just try and tie him up in legal battles forever

    1. @Ralph Ize like I said to the other guys, look at how bad Trudeau has been for Canada, Biden is just Trudeau x10. He’s corrupt, a coward and doesn’t know how to run a country.

    1. your turn to have a hell 4 years if he really win, but the republican supreme court will decide who is president.

    2. @Antonio Armanio what a disgusting human being you must be. We’re ALL American. You don’t need to fight anyone. I’m a republican and I certainly won’t be fighting any democrats. As long as the president represents all Americans, I don’t care what party he’s a part of. Stop with the divisive rhetoric.

  1. Love how they were so concerned about Russian interference last time but now they want to claim victory when there are actual issues coming out lol what a sham!

    1. The same can be said of them being so firm on stopping the count in Pennsylvania and keeping the count going in Arizona. Besides what “actual issues” are coming out? In Pennsylvania every county count was VIDEOED for the entirety of the counting. And GOP observers in many states were using their phone cameras as well to try and get fraud. If there was any TRUE FRAUD the video would have been released already. And produced death threats for an election employee in Pennsylvania like it did for one in Georgia who’s had to go into hiding for only doing his job AND DOING IT CORRECTLY. You are toooo funny in your priorities. LOL!

    2. All of the court challenges will be thrown out because they are baseless without evidence. Court challenges in Michigan and Georgia have already been thrown out.

    3. Funny how trump supporters can be such hypocrites and total MORONS and accuse Biden of cheating when trump did the exact same thing against Hillary except the only difference is trumps actually been PROVEN TO HAVE DONE IT.

  2. Being Canadian I’m baffled by how many Americans don’t understand their own electoral college. It’s a PROJECTED win not because Biden hasn’t won yet but because electors who are in the electoral seats have not voted yet. On rare cases there are faithless electors who do not vote for who they promised to vote for. Basically your ballot only votes for a representative who will vote in your favor.

    1. @Ann Green doesn’t it bother you that you had such an utter clown for a president? A laughing stock? And a dangerous one at that. None of that bothered you?

    1. Oh they are not just the press anymore comrade- they are the right arm of the state. They dont share news- they inform and form public opinion…

    1. Yes, projected numbers from 99 percent return of polls. No numbers show that Trump can win. He lost. Go home.

    1. Sorry news outlets will find a different headline and continue to not cover any scandal Trudummy is involved in…he is after all paying them.

    2. @Late To The Party They wanted an investigation team for it. Trudeau threatened with a snap election due to lack of confidence, and everyone backed down. The NDP sided with the Liberals a second time on this issue to save them.
      It’s over.

    3. Torxit It’s not even close to Trump. It’s more like what typical politician do. I have heard many Canadians go on a rant about Trudeau and in the same breath claim that Trump is much better. WTF do they know if they are that ignorant on the topic? I don’t want to be in that ignorant group.

    4. @Gord Thor Trump had over 60 million dollars spent in investigating him to turn up with nothing. Trudeau doesn’t get investigated, because he can stop it in parliament. There is a difference if you are comparing the two.

    1. If trump can do it with 4% of the ballots still uncounted then Biden can do so with fewer than 1%
      All is fair in love and war

  3. So you honestly want me to believe that an oil state voted overwhelmingly in favour of the guy who wants to fire them all? Ok, ok, cool beans.

    1. @Ganon Dragmire Trump set the country on fire with oil? I thought that was Australia and had nothing to do with oil πŸ€” πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

    2. Funny how trump supporters can be such hypocrites and total MORONS and accuse Biden of cheating when trump did the exact same thing against Hillary except the only difference is trumps actually been PROVEN TO HAVE DONE IT.

  4. When you have to cheat to win, you didn’t really win anything. In fact you’re worse than a loser.
