The election fraud lawsuits have started again.

But Trump chose to stoke the flames Wednesday morning, posting on Truth Social that “Pennsylvania is cheating, and getting caught, at large scale levels rarely seen before.”

“Law enforcement must act, NOW!” he added.

Bucks County officials confirmed to NBC Philadelphia that they had been notified of the lawsuit, but did not provide further comment. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, meanwhile, shot back at the Republican presidential nominee, highlighting that Trump and his allies have spent the last four years actively corroding public trust in U.S. elections—and that they are currently warming up their second conspiracy to undermine the 2024 election results.

    There was already an instance I read about yesterday where some former representative was caught on camera stealing ballots from a test machine and then telling someone else that the counts were fucked up (because he stole the ballots) so they want to create their own reality where the election is rigged…

    I honestly think it’s going to work… They’re either going to get lucky and hate wins the day outright, or they’ll force a win through ratfuckery… :(

      I saw that one too. Even if the media reports on it truthfully with headlines that don’t ragebait readers by withholding the fact that it was a R stealing R test ballots, MAGAots are just going to cherry pick “R ballot stolen” and raise their pitchforks.

      Objectivity and truth doesn’t matter to the Qult of bigots, unfortunately.

        that it was a R stealing R test ballots,

        For clarification, he and a number of other voters were pre-selected to test the functionality of the ballots and voting machines to ensure no glitches happen on November 5. And while they were not the final draft of the ballots that were actually used, they were legitimate ballots by actual voters who voted early, and those ballots were just as valid as the final drafts.

        So yeah, the guy stole 3 votes.

          It’s not even the stealing of votes that was the point of his actions, he stole them and then pointed to the machine as the issue telling someone “fucked count.” He is trying to get people to believe that the voting machines can’t be trusted to properly count which is exactly the point. If/when they lose they’ll point to things like this as an example of how the election was “stolen” to justify them stealing the election…

          God I hate these people…

          Thanks for clarifying that, I misunderstood. Given what you said, it sounds like somebody needs the book thrown at them.

      I honestly think it’s going to work

      I don’t pretend to be able to predict the future, but Trump tried this same thing four years ago and couldn’t pull it off - and he was actually still the President at that time. Seems like it would be even more difficult for him to do it this time as an ex-president, especially considering that he’s now so old and senile that he can’t even paint himself orange properly any more.

        It’s not up to him to install himself, but to have people work on his behalf at the state level. That is what failed the first time, but they’ve since “corrected” by having as many “election deniers” work in the departments necessary to mess with the states/counties vote counting. If they can get enough people gum up the works and to push enough lawsuits to drag this out they can then go to the SCOTUS to ask for them to essentially say “it’s been long enough, you have to stop counting.” in an event similar to Bush V Gore. :(
