      Voter suppression and gerrymandering will stop this from actually happening. They’ll become smaller and smaller, and louder and louder.

        their whole goal atm is to create enough doubt that they can throw the next presidential election to the courts or the house.

          So, same as last election. That tactic just made them look like fools.

            It doesn’t matter to them how they look, so long as they’re the ones wearing the crown when it’s all over.
