Yes, Trump and many of his followers seem to be trying to obstruct the voting process.

What's he going to announce? "I have less than 538 electoral votes so this election is rigged and I will be suing and also Epstein didn't k...I mean that is all"?

Statements like that seem to be the odds-on favorites.

"I am declaring Martial Law" seems to be running second, while "I concede the electron" is a distant third -- well below the "thousand-to-one against" level.

That's actually a common theme among vocal republicans (in my area, within my own family). I've been through several elections periods now and many claim (or 'joke') the Democratic vote is bolstered by the dead, illegals, and by multi-voting. If such practices were significant, there would be abundant verifiable proof not just imaginings extrapolated from the 19th century when those kinds of things may have occurred in politics. Tiring. So tiring.

Voter fraud is defined by the Conservapedia crowd as 'any votes against our cause'. :wink:

A lot of his high profile followers saying mail-in ballots shouldnt be accepted at all. Do they understand the troops overseas protecting the US would be voting by mail?! They know how insulting that is?!

Military people file absentee ballots, not mail-in ballots.

Trump has always been OK with absentee ballots filed before cutoff.

Trump supporters swarmed in election offices in cliffhanger states of Arizona, Michigan and Nevada attempting to disrupt late vote counting to help their Master.

A group of Donald Trump supporters pictured here attempting to distupt the mail-in ballot counting process in Detroit ....

A frenzy's been whipped up by several Republican vote challengers at the TCF Convention Center, where workers are trying to tally thousands of absentee votes for Detroiters while having to deal with the madness.

I just read Trump's former chief strategist Steve Bannon has been banned from Twitter for calling for violence

Again clear incitement for terror is a criminal act.

It would make for hilarious reading except there might another Kyle Rittenhouse arriving at a polling booth armed and tipped over the edge to kill some poor innocent volunteer at a polling booth.
