Just came across this article, seems the trump supporters want to keep counting votes in some places and stop counting them in others. I would expect this kind of hypocrisy from politicans but I'm surprised to find large demographics of people behave this way too.

Supporters of President Donald Trump chanted both "count those votes" and "stop the count" outside ballot-counting sites in two different states.

As of Thursday morning, ballots were still being counted in key states. Trump baselessly claimed victory in the presidential election early Wednesday morning, claiming there was "major fraud on our nation," without providing evidence.

...

Videos published online Wednesday showed crowds pushing to get inside the TCF Center in Detroit where votes were being counted earlier that day.

One, posted to Twitter by the Washington Post photojournalist Salwan Georges, showed Trump supporters inside the center chanting "stop the count" and "stop the vote."

...

Across the country, about 200 Trump fans amassed outside the Maricopa County Election Center in Phoenix late Wednesday night, chanting "count those votes" — the opposite of the chants made in Detroit the same day.

Chants of "Fox News sucks" also rang out from the crowd, showing anger toward the network's decision to call Arizona for Biden on Tuesday night.

Well, the narrative is that AZ has suppressed trump vote (hence count the vote) and that MI has been flooded with fake Biden mail in votes that magically appeared (hence stop the vote).

I don't believe in this, but that's what I've gathered.

It's pretty funny either way. Hypocrisy is funny.

The left has adopted the “count all ballots” mantra

The right has adopted the “count all legal ballots” mantra

It's because of the lawsuits. The Lawsuit is that they need poll watchers there for each party and that wasn't happening -- which was already preestablished, which makes sense, also they are not to accept ballots that are not timestamped after the election date and to stop the count until the poll watchers are there.

And AZ was called waaay too early. It can still go to Biden obviously but it does have the possibility of flipping. They had 500k votes left.

No. Arizona had announced that they were going to stop counting, release results friday. Protesters said, "Nope, count them now!" It's not necessarily about any suppressed vote, simply that there's no reason for a person's vote not to be counted.

Michigan has all sorts of neat rumors flying around, but let's just stick with "alleged tampering and fraud" and they want the vote stopped until Challengers can be involved, and (I guess...?) a full recount. Hard to keep up with the shit coming from Trump about things right now.

Two very different protests, very different context. I'm on board with the Arizona "protesters". Count the votes, stop delaying. You have one fucking job. Count them! Regarding Michigan, idc. They'll get it worked out. Not going to continue trying to keep up with the rumor mill, just keeps getting more and more convoluted.
