All illegal ballots should not be counted
Trump has issued another official whine.
“We believe the American people deserve to have full transparency into all vote counting and election certification, and that this is no longer about any single election. This is about the integrity of our entire election process,” Trump said.
Hahaha that’s funny. No it’s not. Nothing Trump does is ever about anything other than Trump.
“From the beginning we have said that all legal ballots must be counted and all illegal ballots should not be counted, yet we have met resistance to this basic principle by Democrats at every turn. We will pursue this process through every aspect of the law to guarantee that the American people have confidence in our government. I will never give up fighting for you and our nation.”
No they haven’t. He’s just lying, as always.
The Guardian comments:
Okay, so there are a few fact-checks we need to make here. It is not true that Trump has consistently called for all legal ballots to be counted. He sent a tweet yesterday that said, “Stop the count!” The tweet made no distinction between legal and illegal ballots; it simply called on election officials to stop counting votes.
And every ballot that is being counted right now represents a valid vote. There has been absolutely no evidence election officials are trying to count invalid ballots. In the lawsuits it has filed in several battleground states, the Trump campaign has failed to produce any evidence that invalid ballots are being counted.
“Evidence”? What’s that?
If there are illegal ballots, on trump’s declarations alone we know they’ll be republican.
This reminds me of the poll-watching stupidity. A person interviewed on NPR said that Trump’s complaints about poll-watchers “not being given access” to the counting was incorrect. Apparently they are allowed in the counting areas, but must stay six feet away from the poll workers, but the Trump campaign wants them to be able to stand right behind them and watch over their shoulders. So they ARE there, they just are required to follow the same rules that all the other poll-watchers must follow, and they don’t like that.
Yeah, in a pandemic. That man is dangerously stupid, not just stupid.
Different rules for Trump and his people…that has been the norm.
The level of hypocrisy and projection is just…
