im not disputing biden made a late break overnight on mail ins, not even disputing he got 80%+ in many cases. im asking you to prove the often repeated LIE that trump got ZERO votes while Biden got TENS OF THOUSANDS.
its all over twitter, ghot and D_urrr and endless and others posted it here. and its a lie. its fake. its a conspiracy theory based on a typo by buzzfeed of all sources lol.
if you're just giving protester perspective, fine, but if people are protesting based on that conspiracy they're idiots.
Nothing to do with Buzzfeed. Several conservative pundits took Screenshots of AP's tracking after the counting was announced to be ended until later in the morning, then again when the polls had flipped (while counting still closed). They posted them on twitter and facebook both, side by side with timestamps shown. The tweets were removed and accounts were suspended.
Again, I'm not here to track down wrongdoing. I assumed it was a bunch of hand wringing over clerical errors or whatever else, not really a problem.
But since you want to harp on something I'm not advocating as "legitimate" in any way, can you take 10 seconds and explain why convention center windows were being blocked out so poll watchers could not verify the legitimacy of the count?
As I said initially, different protests for different reasons. You want to highlight the one that Trump is going on about. I'm more interested about Arizona, which is justified (whether right, left, or center) in wanting a count now, not "by Friday".
