The election fraud lawsuits have started again.

But Trump chose to stoke the flames Wednesday morning, posting on Truth Social that “Pennsylvania is cheating, and getting caught, at large scale levels rarely seen before.”

“Law enforcement must act, NOW!” he added.

Bucks County officials confirmed to NBC Philadelphia that they had been notified of the lawsuit, but did not provide further comment. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, meanwhile, shot back at the Republican presidential nominee, highlighting that Trump and his allies have spent the last four years actively corroding public trust in U.S. elections—and that they are currently warming up their second conspiracy to undermine the 2024 election results.

        No. Remember after Jan 6 when the badass freedom-fighters promised ominous “actions” in state capitals on Biden’s inauguration day? That day came and went, and at the few “actions” that did happen attendance was in the dozens. When those chickenshit couch farts saw their revolutionary heroes getting methodically tracked down and arrested by the FBI, they stayed home and shook their tiny fists at their TVs. That pathetic bunch of cowards love to talk badass, but when faced with actual personal risk they couldn’t civil war their way out of a Walmart.

    Ok, I am officially done with US election news and will apply filters on my app.

    The way american law enforcement and the judiciary works there is absolutely idiotic.

    Here you have a convicted felon who keeps spewing libellous and damaging lies aimed at destabilizing the political system and the election process and even when rare prosecutors get a judge to hear out the case, the judge cowls and refuses to apply the law just because the guy is a presidential candidate. But then Trump files suit after suit and can bog down the judiciary to the point of actually interfering in the election process and somehow this is allowed in the USA?

    On the other hand there is a billionaire (Musk) who does the same, even breaking state law in addition to federal law, and then the judge also refuses to take action - even if some of the offences were squarely under state jurisdiction - presumably because the billionaire is too rich (on the PA case, Musk laywers argued that “Musk is an extremely busy man” and could not show up - if it was a non-billionaire, the judge would definitely issue an arrest warrant to bring the poor soul’s ass back into court).

    If America elects Trumps and the world descends into unmitigated chaos, that’s because America’s weak-ass institutions and laws were completely ineffective to those with either money or power. No wonder MAGA and non-MAGA alike resort into extremism, since institutions and laws are applied so differently to people with money.

      This is by design. Im feeling it iny loins. This whole thing has been a cold civil war. “Look how far down we can fall, you should vote for reasonable candidates”. I swear this is just to keep the American people in line and accountable.

      Edit: also this forces a higher voting turn out. A byproduct of all of this is more activism.

    Its so weird to see this unfold now where they know they can’t win in any legitimate manner so they are doing stuff like this before the election is even over. Its like, hey guys we only need the election to have a pretense that cheating is going on, which we all know is happening, but we blame it on the other side and seize power.

      We’re seeing in real-time why maintaining a coherent, unified, transparent voting system and communicating how and why it’s secure against tampering is so important. It needs to be difficult to sow doubt in the election, and you can only achieve this through simple to understand and explain methods.

      Because if the average person can be convinced it’s not secure and legitimate, then it doesn’t matter what the reality is.

      This is why I’m so sick of people pointing out the defamation lawsuits from the voting machine companies as some kind of win for the democratic process.

      Voting machines have been just one of the many ways the Republicans have sown doubt over the results. Stop using voting machines, obviously (in my opinion. There’s also 2 great videos from Tom Scott on the topic)

      Important things to get right:

      • functioning, reliable postal system. (Trump did a great job on undermining this)
      • unified electoral communication so that every place has the same election, not bloody 50 separate ones with wildly different practices. (Well shit, constitution needs to be amended)
      • a simple voting recording method anyone can understand. (Voting machines are bad, simply because they’re too much of a security risk and black box that can have doubt sown very easily)
      • consistent invigilation
      • courts that aren’t stacked (good luck with this one, though)

      And obvious move away from FPTP, but everyone is already calling for that.

      Armchair citizen under the American empire, giving you my 2¢.

      There was already an instance I read about yesterday where some former representative was caught on camera stealing ballots from a test machine and then telling someone else that the counts were fucked up (because he stole the ballots) so they want to create their own reality where the election is rigged…

        I don’t pretend to be able to predict the future, but Trump tried this same thing four years ago and couldn’t pull it off - and he was actually still the President at that time. Seems like it would be even more difficult for him to do it this time as an ex-president, especially considering that he’s now so old and senile that he can’t even paint himself orange properly any more.

          It’s not up to him to install himself, but to have people work on his behalf at the state level. That is what failed the first time, but they’ve since “corrected” by having as many “election deniers” work in the departments necessary to mess with the states/counties vote counting. If they can get enough people gum up the works and to push enough lawsuits to drag this out they can then go to the SCOTUS to ask for them to essentially say “it’s been long enough, you have to stop counting.” in an event similar to Bush V Gore. :(

        I saw that one too. Even if the media reports on it truthfully with headlines that don’t ragebait readers by withholding the fact that it was a R stealing R test ballots, MAGAots are just going to cherry pick “R ballot stolen” and raise their pitchforks.

          that it was a R stealing R test ballots,

          For clarification, he and a number of other voters were pre-selected to test the functionality of the ballots and voting machines to ensure no glitches happen on November 5. And while they were not the final draft of the ballots that were actually used, they were legitimate ballots by actual voters who voted early, and those ballots were just as valid as the final drafts.

          So yeah, the guy stole 3 votes.

            It’s not even the stealing of votes that was the point of his actions, he stole them and then pointed to the machine as the issue telling someone “fucked count.” He is trying to get people to believe that the voting machines can’t be trusted to properly count which is exactly the point. If/when they lose they’ll point to things like this as an example of how the election was “stolen” to justify them stealing the election…

          The thing that sucks is that it’s so effective. It literally lead to Biden dropping out of the race. Trump spewed a bunch of bullshit really fast in their debate and Biden just froze up because it was so much.

          I liked how Kamala handled it in their debate by basically saying “Look, I told you this guy was going to spout a bunch of nonsense.” You’ve gotta call out the technique when you see it.

        We see Trump consistently make an outright lie, and in the same breath pivot to a personal attack such as “she’s a nasty woman.” This is another technique that adds something controversial after the lie so that the focus is on the controversial topic instead of the lie.

        It makes it harder to peel what he says apart and puts space between the current point of conversation and the lie

              He isn’t required to understand his behaviors in order to perform them. All his behaviors could have been shaped through early trial and error. Behaviors that got him a desired result became reinforced. He could’ve tried a lie+insult combo as a kid and got exactly what he wanted.

              Repeated enough, the behavior could become second nature.

        Sealioning is the layman’s unmoderated form. If you don’t let the other person speak or respond you always get to ‘win’.

        It’s interesting how adversarial the nature of some people is.

      The only actual election interference I have heard about and people actually being charged is by the Republicans.

      A lawsuit filed is not proof, I could file a lawsuit saying my neighbor stole my house. My house is still where it was but I could claim it’s not and bring a lawsuit. I would lose but it’s the principal of the fact that there is a suit that looks official and people think lawsuits means it’s real.

        Anyone can sue anyone for anything in this country. It may get tossed out right away but you can still file the lawsuit.

        The general talk is that since being shot at he’s even more impulsive than prior.

          Operation Snow White was a criminal conspiracy by the Church of Scientology during the 1970s to purge unfavorable records about Scientology and its founder, L. Ron Hubbard. This project included a series of infiltrations into and thefts from 136 government agencies, foreign embassies and consulates, as well as private organizations critical of Scientology, carried out by Church members in more than 30 countries. It was one of the largest infiltrations of the United States government in history, with up to 5,000 covert agents. This operation also exposed the Scientology plot “Operation Freakout”, because Operation Snow White was the case that initiated the U.S. government’s investigation of the Church.

        So this proof of election cheating is in Hunter Biden’s laptop? Makes about as much sense as any of this.

        He’s likely shitting himself beyond the usual for not understanding Puerto Rican citizenship and voting.

    From The Guardian:

    The queues for late mail ballots were a result of Pennsylvania not having an early on-site voting system at designated spots, as is the case in some other states. Instead, voters can apply for ballots on demand at election offices before filling them out and submitting them on the spot, a procedure that takes about 10 minutes.

    The flood of late applicants overwhelmed electoral workers in Bucks county’s administration building in Doylestown, leading to a long queue, which was cut off at about 2.45pm on Tuesday

    I went to drop off my ballot on Saturday and when I got there, not to the main office in Doylestown, but one of the smaller remote offices, and there was a huge line all the way across the front of the building and I was wondering what the heck was going on.

    As I was getting to the end of the line, a person came over and asked if I already had my ballot, and when they saw it, they said I could go right in and drop it off. There was only one couple ahead of me there.

    I had been wondering what the line was for, and now that makes sense. The Republicans had made the mail in ballot more complicated than necessary during COVID, so now they seem to feel it biting them as their potential supporters have been screwed by it.

    “Democrat election officials are seeing our numbers. They’re seeing our turnout. They are seeing us breaking early vote records across Pennsylvania,” he said. “They are terrified. And they want to stop our momentum. We are not going to let them suppress our votes.”

    Pennsylvania does not start counting votes before election day. Nobody has any clue as to who is voting for whom.

    They’ve broken the system and want to say “look at this broken system, we can’t trust it!” To me that just shows we can’t trust you!

    I really hope Pennsylvanians do the right thing. These people need to be stopped.

      This has been their process for… ever. They cut funding to government agencies (eg. FEMA), then when said agency has a hard time doing their job. they point a scream that the agency can’t do it’s job and should therefore have it’s funding cut. Rinse, lather, repeat. And right wing voters fall for the sham every 👏 single 👏 time 👏.

      This is the shit that is INFURIATING to me… They broke the system thinking it would hurt Democrats but now that it’s affecting them they just blame Democrats which also helps them in the end… God I hate these people so much

        Yup, same nonsense as when they sabotage the Post Office and talk about how that doesn’t work. The votes against immigration reform and then the yelling about that not working. Won’t cut spending or raise taxes but complain about deficit spending.

        They want you to want to throw out our current system so they can replace it. That’s why it’s important to understand the right people to be mad at. If you get mad at anyone other than them themselves, they win.

          The other side of this coin which drives me nuts is when the GOP representatives who vote against things like the Infrastructure Act then claim credit for the money and projects being done in their districts. Bitch, you can’t vote against something then take credit for it when it benefits you! Two faced fuckers, every single one of them

    Quite a lot of the misinformation out of PA stems from a willful ignorance of how all this stuff works.

    For example… the voter registration drives turning in invalid registrations:

    https://www.foxnews.com/politics/voter-registration-probes-launched-crucial-keystone-state-counties-amid-claims-potential-fraud

    “District attorneys and election officials in both Lancaster County and York County are looking into potential election-related fraud after authorities received large batches of voter registration materials from a “third-party organization.” Both York and Lancaster counties have more registered Republican voters than Democrats, according to state data, with York Republicans holding a 63% majority in the area and Lancaster Republicans at a 61% majority.”

    When you do a voter registration drive, you are legally obligated to submit all registrations, valid or not. The only entity with the legal authority to reject registrations as valid is the State Secretary of State office.

    This is because, back in the day, parties would do registration drives and just shit-can any registration for opposing parties.

    Now, even if some dumbass fills out a registration for “Mickey Mouse” or “Superman”, it STILL has to be submitted to the Secretary of State for rejection.

    That’s not “voter fraud”.

      Y’all need to unify your federal election into an actual federal election. Not 50 separate ones.

      It would be a lot harder to pick and choose battleground states for lawsuits if you 1. Change the voting system yes, but also and importantly 2. Have consistent rules and voting infrastructure across the whole country.

      Having to understand 50 separate election rules makes it way easier to sow doubt.

      I am aware there are also some federal laws on voting, but still.

        I tend to agree, at a minimum there should be federal regulations for federal elections, but the problem is that it’s impossible without a constitutional amendment making that definition. :(

        The idea of ANY amendment even getting started with the 290 vote super majority in the House is just beyond us right now. :(

        Election reform, supreme court reform, term limits, should all be top of mind.

    The campaign did not point to any instance in particular that led it to believe that voters had been treated unfairly in Bucks County, but county officials had observed that there were complaints on social media (shared by the Trump campaign) about long lines to obtain mail-in ballots on Tuesday, the last day of their availability.

    If you wait until the last minute you might have to wait in line with the other procrastinators. This is not cheating or fraud it’s just common sense. But it tracks for Boomers to throw a tantrum if the world doesn’t magically accommodate them and they have to wait for anything.

      They did not have any facts to present but they feel like cheating is occurring. That’s enough for a lawsuit right?
