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".

ive been tracking this pretty tight, im 95% confident the source is buzzfeed, and 100% confident it was a typo that was corrected.

i dont agree with account suspension, post removal, but i get it. a group of people forwarding a lie lol. stopping disinformation is what theyve been harped on for years now, its a understandable reaction even if i dont agree.

the covering windows thing is 10x more fishy, my gripe is i hear both listed over and over. one is legit, one is shit. clean up the shit and they'll get more play. right now they're discounting themselves by repeating a lie lol.

GA looking real tight at 96%. PA actually looking better for Trump after this movement. 3% only ate around 50k of his vote this time.

Edit: Said 4 - was 3. Sentiment still stands.

This fascist is trying to intimidate the public and suppress voters who still need to cast their ballots in this election.

Yahoo's tracker is showing 99% reported, with a difference of around 16k votes.

You're invalidating your own point. If the tweets and posts had actually been from a bad buzzfeed article, then those pundits had the absolute right to screenshot the article and spend the next 10 years making fun of buzzfeed over it.

Even going off an assumption that what you're saying is accurate, there's no reason for post removal or account suspension, because it was not "those people" spreading disinformation or lies. If you're suggesting that Buzzfeed spread misinformation and lies, why have they not been banned?

Regardless, don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. If you believe the count changes is bullshit, that's fine. I'm not going to disagree with you or agree with you. It's for courts to decide. If you need video evidence of poll watchers being blocked from witnessing counts, I'd be happy to provide some. :)

I have never been better. I am at peace and serene, and Joe Biden will be our next president. Joe Biden's victory was never in doubt.
