Trump Says Biden “Won” The Election But It Was Rigged

  Is trump making a fool of himself and bringing reproach on the USA system of democracy ?

  1) Trump really believes he can get this election result overturned, either by delaying it until it goes to the House and he is determined winner or by a final decision of "his" SCOTUS ruling to throw out enough late ballots to give him the win.

  2) He's just rallying his base to keep donations coming in and will at some point concede and then declare his candidacy for 2024, which will keep many other potential GOP candidates out of the race.

  Doc the house has no say in this at all. You obviously do not understand the constitution. Btw even if the constitution allowed for them to intervene, democrats control the house. Trump has a long history of claiming the election process is rigged. Are you guys forgetting the Republican primaries when he made the exact same claim?

  Of course Trump would say it's rigged.

  Let's do a quick mental exercise - imagine if Democrats noticed voting irregularities and those irregularities seemed to favour Trump. Can you imagine how the media and voters would react?

  They call Trump a fascist because he wants to deport illegal immigrants - imagine what they'd call him if 'glitches' and news of 130,000 votes for Trump came in at 4 am, lol.

  I think you're wrong. (Article 2, Section 1, Clause 3)

  If the election is contested and undecided (ie, tied up in courts) on the day the Electoral College is to vote and thus no decision can be made, the decision is moved into the US House of Representatives. However, each State is allowed ONLY ONE VOTE per State. Thus each State's congressmen (sexist, I know) must come to a conclusion for their own State. The GOP controls the majority in no less than 26 States (some have equal representation or equal congressmen). Thus the vote of the majority of States would likely vote for Trump.

  The House has gotten involved only three times -- all in the 1800's.)

  Trump should absolutely keep up with the bonkers tweets.

  For the sake of the GA Senate runoff elections in about 7 weeks.

  Keeping this "issue" front & center, forcing the GOP candidates to campaign on "yeah, sure, Trump is nuts but we gotta keep humoring him" is undoubtedly a far superior strategy to "we need to retain control in the Senate to keep a Democratic president & house of representatives in check".

  Keep those thumbs a-tappin', Don!

  So DOC what your saying is that when the Electoral Colleges place their count to certification on the Dec.14 those numbers mean little because its the number of States with the majority of counts to the political parties that matters and your saying that Trump won the most States, thereby he will be reelected. ???

  This information doesn't seem to be coming forward in the news ???
  

  You seem to have a different spin on this election than anyone, are you sure about this ???

  You seem to have a different spin on this election than anyone, are you sure about this ??? - DoC is answering with no spin.

  He's actually quoting articles, sections and clauses.

  (BTW - It's the news media who are using spin.)

  Rick, it only goes to the US House IF the election is "undecided" by the Electoral College. Easiest example would be a "tie" (which happened in 1800), but it has also happened when there were more than two candidates and none of them received a majority (1824 & 1876).

  In this case, I think the scenario hoped for (by Trumpers) would be if some of the States were unable to "call" their election by that date (ie, tied up in court or the election results tossed out because of overwhelming fraud -- ie, the Dominion voting machines) and thus unable to ratify a winner and appoint his representatives in the College. If no candidate receives over 50% of the Electoral College votes, the decision moves into the US House.

  So, is there fraud? Is the fraud so overwhelming that a Court (likely to go to the SCOTUS) will nullify the election results in one of more States? His lawyers claim this is the case due to the Dominion voting machines. (I've uploaded videos to this claim from Trump's lady lawyer and Rudy G. made the same claim in the last 24 hours on Fox.)

  YMMV

  So why has the politcal system in Washington proclaiming Biden as the President elect if the Democrats didn't win more States than Trump through the electoral college count ?
