Bad Washington Post tweet on Republican breach of voting machines

Only one party is doing this. The tweet should say so. The investigation in the article is excellent but it still doesn’t say that only Republicans are doing this.

It’s not a “national trend”. It’s a “national trend for the Republican Party”. Democrats aren’t doing this.

Drop boxes do not cause election fraud

Just another Republican lie.

A new AP poll of election officials finds that the expanded use of drop boxes for mailed ballots during the 2020 election "did not lead to any widespread problems," with "no cases of fraud, vandalism or theft that could have affected the results." https://t.co/WnAq2TTxp7
— Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) July 18, 2022

America is left with a difficult choice: should we believe the AP's state-by-state queries of elections officials on the security of drop boxes or should we instead rely on D'Souza's secondhand claims from a guy who is known to invent fraud claims?https://t.co/hQE3MrrLLu

Blame Trump for his actions

I blame Trump, not the advisors. He chose to listen to them. He was told the truth (that he lost) repeatedly and chose not to accept it.

Nothing will convince Big Lie believers of the truth

It has been over a year and a half since the 2020 election. There has been no evidence of significant fraud. Yet, 28% still think Trump won. This isn’t going to change. Nothing will convince the Trump cult that he lost. At least the majority knows what happened.

Which candidate do you think was the legitimate winner of the 2020 presidential election?

Joe Biden 65%
Donald Trump 28%

Politico-Morning Consult poll:

66% of voters say Trump attempted to overturn the 2020 election

66% say Trump claimed the election was fraudulent without evidence

59% say Trump misled the public about the outcome of the election
— Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) July 13, 2022

Before the #January6thHearings began, 67% of Republicans thought the 2020 election had been stolen from Donald Trump. And after 8 hearings? Down to 55%. (Reuters/Ipsos) Still ridiculously high but suggests the #January6Committee has had an effect even with Trump’s party.

75% of Republicans don’t believe Biden won legitimately

This isn’t going to change. It’s been over a year and a half. Republican unwillingness to accept facts is very damaging to our election process.

latest YouGov/Economist national poll: 75% of GOP voters do not believe Biden legitimately won election. And those voters have 14% fav/61% unfav view of Liz Cheney; same voters have 57% fav/25% unfav view of Giuliani. GOP voters have completely jettisoned integrity as criteria.

Do you consider Joe Biden as the legitimate winner of the 2020 presidential election via CBS/YouGov poll:

Biden voters:
99% Biden is legitimate winner
1% Biden is not legitimate

Trump voters:
26% Biden is legitimate winner
74% Biden is not legitimate

Ron Johnson changes his story

Looks like a lie to me

Senator Ron Johnson can’t seem to get his story straight on his efforts to pass false elector slates to Pence. https://t.co/ybpmXuijVX

Ron Johnson tweeted?
— Harris Levy (@HarrisL585) June 27, 2022

Johnson didn’t just “want” to put fake electors forward, he actually TRIED to do it. That’s a criminal attempt to defraud the U.S., an overt act in furtherance of a seditious conspiracy, and an attempt to prevent the lawful transfer of power. https://t.co/fJ0ws69uMm

The news that Cleta Mitchell (of Trump-trying-to-steal-the-election fame) is putting together a program of GOP-friendly election monitors made me think of a guy in Scranton who volunteered to do that for the 2020 election. https://t.co/SkWiIKqpoq

True the Vote, the group behind the debunked election conspiracy film “2000 Mules,” is even controversial in GOP circles.

“I would not give her a penny,” John Fund told donors at a Council for National Policy event.

"It's true," Cleta Mitchell agreed. https://t.co/pLXVZxyYZd

The Trump team planned a coup before Biden was even declared the winner

I’m no legal expert but how is this not a crime? Somebody has to hold these people accountable. I’m looking at you DOJ.

Donald Trump’s son sent the White House chief of staff a text message two days after Election Day in 2020 that laid out strategies for declaring his father the winner regardless of the electoral outcome, people familiar with the exchange said Friday. https://t.co/JdMiikfAxz

Trump lost in 2020 but he got 11 million more votes than in 2016

Trump lost the popular vote by a bigger margin in 2020 but he got approximately 74 million votes compared to 63 million in 2016. I don't think he got more conservative, he got more overtly white nationalist which appeals to his large cult.
— Harris Levy (@HarrisL585) March 12, 2022

I would never say that everyone who voted for Trump is a white nationalist but Trump is a bigot and they accepted that.
