ALERT: Trump campaign is trying to appeal Michigan vote count ruling, but the Court of Appeals has rejected its initial filing as "defective" because it does not include required documentation.

In some ways, yes. Although it's really sad to see so much of the Republican party and right-wing media jump aboard the conspiracy train.

I guess this is what they always were, and I didn't fully realize it. The Obama birth certificate, the IRS scandal, Benghazi... right-wingers have always been conspiratorially minded, so much so that even after things are investigated, they don't accept the results.

Speaking of conspiracies...

I really dont see the point in scapegoating the GA SoS for Trump's loss in the state, which was razor thin anyway. -_-
Just suck it up and move on ffs. Perdue/Loeffler should fucking focus on running a good campaign for the January runoffs.

told u m8

secretary of state signs off on the results, then state senate sends electors. they're still trying to set up for the scenario i laid out. i just think its likely to fail bigly, because too many electoral votes need to flip, and GOP house members might not play ball as it stinks to high heaven.

watch MI, PA, WI, etc also target the secretary of state under the guise of "how they ran the election in the state" with no other actual criticisms, just platitudes. its about finding a stooge who wont sign off on the vote. and its likely coming straight from the trump admin.

do u really think they will try to send faithless electors to give the vote to trump? this occured in 2016 when some shifted vote from hilary to others but the surpreme court ruled that the could not vote aside against the will of people (i.e, they literally could only put forward the popular vote winner in the state)

this rate i wouldnt put it past the (D)s to pull it off in both races. seems like the GA gop is completely incompetent, and the (D)s motivated. Plus 50/50 senate split would make it soooo much more interesting the next 2 years (not)

Trump should let the legal process play out and accept the results.

In these times, though, it's worth seeing how our media friends treated other notable election deniers in the past.
