That is a insane argument......thats...well theoretically possible. But i got to tell you, if you did this I'd get life insurances on everyone involved. People Would lose their minds for reals. And I'd be looking to leave cause nothing good was going to happen. Like in the old westerns where the bad guys show up, and the sheriff shows up, and you just KNOW whats gonna happen next. I dont think even Republicans would be willing to throw away the country to try and steal the election that way. Yeah it would be legal technically. But we all know legal and right arent the same things.

You're getting nervous.

Not in the slightest. Isn’t my first election. Only thing out of the ordinary for this one is the hissyfits.

This is like the end of a basketball game and the team that’s down by 30 keeps fouling. We all know where it’s going and it’s just painful to watch.

Team is now down 40 and continues fouling. This is the most boring basketball game ever.

Which begs the question, why are they doing this?
They're out to undermine confidence in the process. It's a coup - the voters didn't deliver, they're trying to move the decision somewhere else.

Counting ballots is for the weak anyway - the strong seize power. And there's a huge percentage of Trump's voters who are fueled by their worship of strength and contempt for the weak. They don't care about governance - it's about showing who's boss.

I am. You and yours are seeking power at any cost and you manifestly don't care about what you destroy in the process. The Beerhall Putsch was a joke, but it laid a foundation.

It's because some people have a genuine concern about fraud and wish to make sure all the votes are counted fairly. These "glitches" if more of them are found and verified, could be potential game changers.

Of course they will not find enough votes to change the outcome. There is absolutely no way 7 states got together to change the outcome. Harris/Biden will be the next POTUS and thankfully Democrat Senator Manchin has already come out and stated he will kill the liberal agenda even if Democrats win both those GA Senate seats. The Harris/Biden agenda is dead on arrival. With that said, it will be good to find out where the issues are in our voting system so they can be corrected going forward AND it will be good to prove to everyone that Trump did indeed lose the election so Trump supporters can move on and have faith in the process in future elections.

It's just to muddy the waters enough that Trump can try to shift the blame for his loss to anyone but himself with his base. That gives him a better launching point for his media grievance tour he'll surely be launching once he's out of office.
Maybe this and to also keep the donations coming in to pay off his campaign debt. If he were to concede then the funding would dry up and he would be on the hook for the balance owed.
