Ross add Scott to that list, can you image where this country ends up if this attempt to ignore the will of the people to hold on to the power is successful?

can you imagine where the country ends up if the democrats continue to undermine and destroy our election system?.....probably exactly where they want the country to end up

this was such a big success that next time we should start sending ballots out to everyone in the country on January 1st...and send them one every month leading up to the election because they might forget or something...and because voting is such an arduous process we should allow everyone to send pictures in of their filled out ballots with their cell phones and if someone is concerned that others don't have cell phones they can take pictures of other people's ballots and send them in for them as an act of kindness and civic responsibility....or just take a picture of the whole suitcase of ballots and mark it democrat, that will save the talliers a lot of time...we should expect nothing less than 135% voter participation

Scott, for crying out loud.... SHOW ME...something, anything in the way of proof that would make me even consider this argument. Over a month and there is ZERO PROOF.

this is like the steroid era in baseball, lance armstrong etc...everyone caught up in what is going on...some were questioning the validity of the performances...others said how dare you denigrate these great accomplishments....if you believe biden inc. got around 80 million legal votes you are delusional...it will all come out...someone will want to brag, take credit or most likely want to rub it in trump's face at some point...democrats know elections are like thanksgiving...if you screw up the turkey you aren't going back to cook another...they haven't made it easier for people to vote, they've made it easier for them to screw with the election results...it's in their blood

Biden got ~19% more votes than Clinton did in 2016. Trump got about ~15% more votes than he did in 2016. We know scores of independents and republicans moved to Biden.

This makes perfect sense, it was just a very consequential election during a pandemic that drove turnout.

Spence didn't you see the rallies ! all the people (true believers) that alone enough evidence to prove it was stolen

Yet in 2016 they called it the silent majority..

seems the silent majority switched sides

Scott has nothing, just like all the “good” lawyers who brought all this frivolous suits, but forgot to bring any evidence to support their case. It’s really amazing to watch the Republican Party implode and if it costs them the senate can you just imagine how much crazier this will become.

Well you had eight years of Obama Trump got in and was impeached and shown the door, how is that going for you? I’ve voted both parties as an independent, actually more Republican over my life, but the Republican Party is fuc*ed up right now.

No, Scott. No. This is new territory the Republican congress has ventured into. They have chosen, yes chosen, to move into lock step with Donald Trump, who lost a presidential election in the United States of America, MORE THAN A MONTH AGO..... They fear the man. Very few in positions of power have stepped out of ranks, notably Barr and Romney. Scott, please note that I have not typed one word of support for the President elect, nor the Democratic party and its platform. This is more about the American process and doing the right thing. This group of elected Republicans has lost its moral compass, and that is what will cause the implosion of the Republican party and its current dictatorial autocratic "leader".

Well said.

I can appreciate a wide range of political positions but the moment we stop believing in the democratic process we are toast. The train for some has left the station.

The American process is working just fine. Everything is being done according to process. The process will come to a resolution. It's not as if the Republicans you despair of believe there was no election fraud and are only falling in line with Tyrant Trump. I do think the reputed fraud occurred. And there are various pieces of evidence of it. But actual proof will probably be too difficult to find. The process will go through discovery, if it is allowed to do so. Then we will go on from there. What will destroy confidence in the process is not allowing it to happen as it is constitutionally allowed.

I assume I am disagreeing with you in regard to what is at stake in this election. I do believe that political party agendas are impacting the American constitutional process. Contesting the election through the constitutional process is not destroying it.

just for the record, I've voted for trump as many times as wayne and pete....I don't like trump, I don't have a trump flag on my car and I haven't been to a rally, though I hear they are great fun....it took a trump type personality to win against the relentlessly insane left 4 years ago, the others would have crumbled like romney and mccain, we got to watch their insanity over the last 4 years...he's still better than the alternative of pelosi, schumer, biden/harris running things in my opinion.....they will do far more damage that trump's escapades over the last few weeks....
