They are, indeed, TRYING to erase the elections in those states. But they have entirely FAILED to do so. Last gasp, tomorrow. Right now, I’m rooting for Warnock and Ossoff in GA. The presidential thing is just another phase of the tantrum.
At 2:00 AM, one of the Democratic candidates, Raphael Warnock, has won a Georgia Senate seat. The other Senate race is excruciatingly close, but may be headed for a 10,000 vote margin in favor of the Democrat, John Ossoff. Possible recount there.
And what is SO STUPID is that these LIARS are trying to claim that ONLY the Presidential votes in these states, WHICH TRUMP LOST, are the ones that are “fraudulent”. What about ALL THE OTHER RACES ON THE SAME BALLOTS? And WHY was the supposed fraud ONLY in the states he lost? If the voting machines were rigged, shouldn’t the ones in the states he won be suspect as well? If the Democrats had tried to “Rig” the election, WHICH THEY DIDN’T, wouldn’t a reasonable person then assume that they would have “rigged” the Senatorial and House Races as well, to give them an unbeatable majority in Congress??? Of course, NO ONE has EVER tried to claim that trump OR ANYONE IN HIS MISERABLE EXCUSE FOR AN ADMINISTRATION IS REASONABLE!!
The real issue that few people are talking about is racism. Trump and his enablers are trying to throw out the African-American votes. The “protest” today is so these representatives can sway the Alt-Right to support them after Trump is out of office.
Thank you Mr. President for your 68 minute call to the Georgia SOS and his lawyer attempting to manufacture 11,000 plus votes to overturn your election loss. Thank you for your Monday visit to Georgia for one of your grievance filled rallys that helped put Warnock and Ossoff over the top. Thank you for giving Moscow Mitch his new title of minority leader of the US Senate. Thank you soon to be former President Trump from the bottom of our hearts, The Democrats.
These flagrant actions will not work and will be a complete waste of time. There is no evidence whatsoever of any election malfeasance in those 4 states. Shame on the GOP senators who will object to the certification of the electoral vote. They are adopting the terrible example of Barbara Boxer who in 2004 objected to the certification of Ohio’s electoral count based upon non-existent evidence of voter suppression, etc.
As Trump supporters stormed the Capitol trying to overturn his victory, President-elect Joe Biden delivered a stern call to stop what he called “a god-awful display” and called on Trump to “step up.”
“I call on President Trump to go on national television now to fulfill his oath and defend the Constitution and demand an end to this siege,” Biden said, condemning the president for stoking the flames.
“The scenes of chaos at the Capitol do not reflect a true America, do not represent who we are,” he added. “What we’re seeing are a small number of extremists dedicated to lawlessness. This is not dissent. It’s disorder. It’s chaos. It borders on sedition. And it must end. Now. I call on this mob to pull back and allow the work of democracy to go forward.”
Biden offered his remarks from Wilmington, Del., where he had originally been scheduled to speak briefly after a meeting with his economic team. As the situation in Washington devolved, Biden instead addressed the violence taking place on the very steps where he is scheduled to be sworn in to office two weeks from today.
“At this hour, our democracy is under unprecedented assault, unlike anything we have seen in modern times, an assault on the citadel of liberty, the Capitol itself,” Biden said, calling the protests an “assault on the most sacred of American undertakings — the doing of the people’s business.”
“The certification of the electoral college vote is supposed to be a sacred ritual. The purpose is to affirm the majesty of American democracy,” he said. “Today is a reminder, a painful one, that democracy is fragile. To preserve it requires people of goodwill — leaders with the courage to stand up.”
In response to a question from a reporter, Biden said, “I am not concerned about my safety, security or the inauguration. I am not concerned. The American people are going to stand up, stand up now. Enough is enough is enough.”
A day of infamy, the storming of both houses of Congress.
Any Republicans of good conscience, if such exist, should immediately resign from the Republican party. Start a new party, or declare yourselves Independents, or join one of the other existing parties.

He’ll be the first and only president* in history (hopefully) to be impeached 11,780 times in the last month of his term.
