You probably remember wrongly. The gripes were about the electoral college. But even if some posters here did question the honesty of the vote, it wasn't echoed by Democratic leaders and it certainly wasn't instigated by Hillary Clinton. The hypocrisy here is monumental. Trump supporters accused those who didn't vote for Trump of not accepting the results of the 2016 election. But there was no huge cry of fraud. Now we have Trump supporters doing exactly what they falsely accused Trump's opponents of doing.  

 

No huge cry of fraud? I think someone may have mentioned the possibility of Russian interference, not sure? It faded away quickly LOL

Another example of Republican hypocrisy is bulldozing the appointment of Barrett to the Supreme Court, after the Democrats agreed to wait until after the 2016 election when it was Obama's turn. IMO the only honest Republican left is Mitt Romney, the rest have been infected with Trump's dishonesty.

Contrary to the better interests of the "United States I believe Trump will insist on setting as many dogs loose as he  can purely in retaliation while  extracting as much  taxpayer funded time he  can in escaping to his  Golf courses while he still can. Creditors  may  lock the  gates  as of  21st January!

It can only be hoped that the more rational and self preservative tactics of the  GOP members in general involves avoidance of  being dragged under by failing  to  accommodate a "flailing turtle" .

Such a shame Trump  can not  concede to the fact that his 4 season long personal  pinnacle of "reality shows" has been rejected by a majority of the voting local  audience and the world in general.

Even  the "Trump TV" becomes a reality late night entertainment  might do  well  with re-runs  of  " JR ".

If it is a  cable platform  maybe  Stormy might be  a feature as an alternative  to Maria Bartiromo  on Fox?

Paula White, Trump's so called  spiritual advisor  is in full on mode on the fringes in a  desperate  call  for last  minute salvation of the  nation  invoking  God to strike  down the enemy without evidence of considering God  already has that in progress !

While the est of the world has probably experienced a  quiet  sigh of relief there  still remains the  risk Trump  may try to radically and spitefully inflict himself outside of the confines  of the US.

Russia and China  have  not yet indicated recognition of  Biden  as POTUS Elect despite it seemingly being a  foregone. Perhaps not so much because they await  the  "Official "  confirmation but  in the knowledge Trump  has  60  odd  days to  create  havoc ? ( No pun or  secondary  inference in the use of   "odd ) (Much )lol

You're wrong again. No one found that Russia committed fraud. Russia's interference consisted of manufacturing fake news and gettin it circulated via bots. And working with certain people to publicize what they hacked. NOT FRAUD.

What Trump supporters are claiming that the actual voting was tampered with.

Will you people ever get it through your heads that "interference" covers a multititude of sins, not all of them criminal, whereas "electoral fraud" refers to a class of crimes.

That will come back with a vengeance once the unredacted Mueller report sees the light of day. Barr is toast, along with Trump.

Russian national accused of fraud conspiracy aimed at political interference

A Russian national has been charged with a fraud conspiracy related to interference in American politics.

The federal charges were filed in the Eastern District of Virginia. U.S. authorities say Artem Lif<deleted>s, 27, is an employee of the Russian troll factory known as the Internet Research Agency and a manager in a Russian political influence operation called “Project Lakhta.”

They   are   still  counting   votes.  Common sense would dictate all votes be counted before announcing who won.

It's fine if Biden wins, but shouldn't the votes be counted before you announce a winner.

No, common sense is that state reporting officials announce the winner when so few voters' ballots are still left that no change would result even if the loser somehow miraculously received 100% of the remainder.

"President Trump early Wednesday declared victory in the presidential race against Democratic nominee Joe Biden even as millions of votes were still being counted across multiple states and the president said he would be going to the Supreme Court in an attempt to stop ballot counting."

Kim is also holding off congratulating Biden. All of his dictator/strongman friends, and in particular his boss in Moscow, are postponing the inevitable.

"The first reason that the founders created the Electoral College is hard to understand today. The founding fathers were afraid of direct election to the Presidency. They feared a tyrant could manipulate public opinion and come to power. "

Could be you don't know how the outlets actually determine when they make a call. A team of experts determine from what is remaining to count, where they are from and type of ballot. They wait until the surety is 99.7%

Common sense indicates if Biden has a lead of 30,000 votes in a state, and there are only 15,000 votes remaining to be counted, even if those votes were all for Trump, Biden has still won. Perhaps logic is not a strong suit of yours.

Why is the judgement of the "poster above" even relevant?

Given your criteria, sounds like those exhaustive investigations would go on for years. Who gets to be President in the meantime? "An audit for each and every vote" Really. That's unhinged.

Being unhinged and total chaos is the political brand of the current to be exiting president. A clear majority has had enough of that noise! In fact a clear majority didn't want it in the first place. Basta!
