Yup. This always happens. The vote fraud operation in Wisconsin is a well-oiled machine.
You called it, and they waited until they knew what margin they needed.
What anti fraud arrangements have Republicans made in districts known for fraud? This can’t be a surprise.
Exactly like the Walker/Evers contest in 2018. Exactly.
Is trump prepared for this state? Seems he is in PA. Got lawyers ready?
So we lose.
The never trumpers must love the vote fraud.
Drew,
I was hoping you’d wake up last night and watch it with us and comment. Trump was 110,000 votes up at about 3:30 am. Then 1 hour later Biden was up by 10,000. Given the number of absentee ballots available it would have taken a ratio of Biden to Trump of 10:1 to make that happen. Not possible. Fraud, fraud, and fraud.
Regards,
Jim
Totals from Milwaukee, Kenosha and Green Bay push Biden to a 20,000 vote lead in Wisconsin
Sue them. Challenge every single ballot. Make Bush v. Gore look like a ten-minute disagreement about where to put lawn chairs.
Hartmann,
Yep, get Tom Fitton on this immediately.
Regards,
Jim
Some recommended reading from Scott Walker.
I, for one, don’t love vote fraud.
Bryan, is it possible that Americans have rejected Trump, but kept the Senate in Republican hands?
Even if Biden pulls this out there are several things that have emerged from this:
1. The hand-wringing, bed-wetting faction of the Republican Party needs to grow a spine (and maybe a brain and a pair of ears). The down ticket “disaster” that was going to gut the party and allow ¡Jeb! supporters to purge the president and his base and reimagine the GOP into its recent Bushie past ain’t happening. You want forever wars and a globalist future? There’s a party for you but it isn’t the Republicans.
2. Maybe I’m throwing (stuff) on the wall here, but this will stick: It’s probably a bad idea to attack the voters instead of the candidates. You don’t persuade anyone with the opening gambit of “I hate you MFing racist rubes now vote the way I tell you.” Note to David French: Calling evangelical Christians sinners and cultists doesn’t work, either.
3. For all of the professional consultants (and the amateur ones as well) Donald Trump has shown you the way to grow the party. He has renewed Reagan’s quest to turn the GOP into the party of the working American. The Chamber of Commerce Globalists who care about cheap labor and tinkering with the tax code is not the way forward.
4. Finally, understand this: Do not give us crap about ethics and “the rule of law” while holding up Joe Biden as your standard bearer. There is privilege and a separate legal system in America but it’s based on politics, not race or gender. When institutions such as the FBI become corrupt, taking on the corruption is not “attacking the norms.” If corruption is the norm then it needs to attacked – head on and with great vigor.
Not based on last night.
All the irregularities come from Democrat strongholds only in swing states. I did not see you condemn the courts in PA for chancing the rules in an unconstitutional matter.
You Gary support Biden by hook or by crook. That is clear. You support vote fraud because you are cheering this on.
And the margin is slim enough that the likes of you have caused this. I will never forgive you and your ilk. Nor will the GOP voters you think are going to come crawling back to you. They. Will. Not.
I’m going to get roasted for this but I must respectfully disagree. Donald Trump has served his purpose….he got the Republican Party off its kester to finally go out and attain the conservative working/middle class African American/Hispanic/Latino/Woman voter. This election has shown the possibilities of building a true new coalition. I would respectfully argue that to drag this election into the mud is not worth possibly jeopardizing this possibility. It looks like Republicans will hold the senate so Joe and Kamala can’t do much of anything. It is time to move to 2022….take back the house….increase the lead in the senate….and then run Tim Scott in 2024 and take it all.
Jeb or Mitt would have already conceded by now and appealed for calm along with a Senate seat.
Oh man. I was at work last night – I turned on the global news (Canadian TV channel) live coverage on Youtube – this would’ve been about 9:30 MTN or so… and the had Biden 272 Trump 131.. Oh I can’t tell you how quickly my stomach turned over. But then they started showing their map – it looked like the 270 to win map – with different shades to represent the strength of the vote in each state… (They would eventually change it) I see an Australian News network has called the election for President Trump.
No Bryan, I support the Rule of Law. I do not support Biden by hook or crook. I am not supporting vote fraud. I support counting every vote.
Whether you like it or not, the Republican Party cannot win the Presidency without its so-called Never Trump voters. So, the question is if you want to win with Trump Skeptics within the tent, or lose without us? Trump executed a hostile takeover of the a Republican Party in 2016. Trump Skeptic Republicans apparently have done the same in 2020. What is good for the goose is good for the gander.
Finally, you don’t get to decide if I am a Republican. This is not the Soviet Union where unorthodox Communists were kicked out of the Party. Trump Skeptics are here in the party, and we ain’t leaving. Get over it.
As of 8 AM EST, it’s down to this:
Pennsylvania still has Trump in a big lead (700,000 votes) – but there’s still a lot of votes from Philly to be counted, so that lead will shrink. He’s probably still going to keep the state, I think.
Michigan still has Trump in a 10,000 vote lead – but Detroit has a third of their votes left to count. Which means Michigan is a loss.
The race in Nevada is under 8,000 votes, and they’re still counting.
Arizona? That’s where it gets interesting. Trump is losing, but the mail-in votes are still being counted, and they’re supposedly breaking about 2:1 for Trump, but he’s still down about 100,000 votes. It’s still possible that Arizona could shift red some time today. If not, it’s probably over.
Right now, if Biden manages to take and hold Arizona, Nevada, Michigan, and Wisconsin, he’s at 270.
Can we all agree that we hope that John James wins in Michigan? I contributed to his campaign, and he would be part of the new face of the Republican Party in the Senate.
The hostility came from the Never Trumpers.
We’re read you for the past four years…
Looks like one candidate is ready to concede and start focusing on ’24
Ugh. Regardless of who wins it will be four years of the losing side questioning the validity of the “winning” side. There must be a better way to avoid even the question of fraud.
I am very depressed. The Steal is on. President Harris?!?! Really? Actually, I am both sad and angry. This is going to be a slow motion robbery. Goodbye tax cuts. Goodbye Middle East peace. Goodbye comity with friends and neighbors. Holding the Senate won’t mean much with turncoats like Romney and Collins and Murkowski.
I have arthritis in my throwing shoulder. I would make a poor rioter. Sorry…mostly peaceful protester.
