All, ie. Every single one, of the "facts" that RepucliCANTS cling to (regarding the election) have been debunked. Just like "Jewish Space Lasers", "Windmills cause cancer", etc.

Afghanistan has resisted invaders for longer than the last four years and 100 days. The current administration, like it or not was handed a mess in many ways. The southern US border has been in chaos for decades. Why pay attention to CNN when all one needs to know comes from Tuckkker, except his Covid vaccination status. Maybe the second shot is the reason he's so whacked out. By the way, didn’t the Boy Wonder real estate grifter solve the Middle East problems. He stroked Prince Salamander’s Orb along with Fat Nixon. Kashoggi (RIP)

CNN last night proved they are not a news station but only a propaganda platform for the democrats. With tensions in Israel and Middle East problems, Taliban starting up the CNN news spent 90 minutes discussing their new darling for the democrats Cheney. They love Cheney now that Wyoming has basically given up on her agenda. CNN will continue talking about anyone who opposes Trump rather than report the news.
Biden is scrambling and has no solutions. Border crises, Israel, Taliban, inflation poor job reports. He has accomplished nothing and everything that was working las 4 years is falling apart. The democrats must be so proud. In just 100 days we went from great to distressed.

"With days left in the race, the campaigns of Richard M. Nixon and John F. Kennedy sought to downplay civil rights issues for fear of losing southern white votes. Blacks had mostly voted Republican, since Abraham Lincoln. Nixon had just been endorsed by Martin Luther King Sr. , the leader of Ebenezer Baptist Church. But Nixon ignored their pleas for help, while Kennedy called Coretta to express his sympathy.
Historians Taylor Branch and David Garrow wrote that Robert F. Kennedy threw a fit, telling aides who fed her number to his brother that they cost him the presidency, but he called Mitchell, who reversed his denial of bond, immediately freeing King.
King's father switched his endorsement, saying Kennedy had "the moral courage to stand up for what's right. " That quote, and others, appeared in a blue-papered pamphlet titled "No Comment Nixon Versus a Candidate with a Heart, Senator Kennedy. " Unnoticed by the national media, Kennedy aides and King supporters distributed the pamphlet in black churches around the nation the Sunday before Election Day.
Blacks had voted 60-40 Republican just four years earlier; this time they voted 70-30 for the Democrat, providing more than enough for Kennedy to win the electoral college and the popular vote by a narrow 113,000 margin nationwide".

"In a news release on Oct. 27, the deadline to apply for a mail or absentee ballot in the state, Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf's office said more than 3 million voters had applied to vote by mail.
The USA Elections Project reports that mail ballot request rates were 1,941,131 for Democrats; 784,851 for Republicans; 25,367 for a minor party; and 336,175 for independents, putting the total number requested at 3,087,524."
Of course since Trump rose to power it seems very few people in the Republican party are capable of telling the truth. You will have to do a lot better Canada!

In short this is an example of Mastiano and / or his followers being misunderstanding what they read. They are observing more mail in ballots received in a pandemic for a general election than were sent out for a PRIMARY election. But who quotes an article and leaves out the 'fact' in a fact check in order to leave the exact wrong impression? Either the above poster is dishonest or he relies on sources which are.
So are Republican leaders stupid or are they taking advantage of people's desire to believe they won? I didn't check the state website, but I will say that Mastriano is a retired Colonel with degrees from University of New Brunswick School of Advanced Air and Space Studies and United States Army War College... He knows how to read a chart.

Your claim of more votes than voters has been debunked over and over, ad infinitum. "Your candidate lost. Too bad for you. Suck it up. Screw your feelings." Remember these same words from 2016?

"The statistic combines data from Pennsylvania's June primary election, in which 1.8 million voters requested vote-by-mail ballots, and data from the general election, in which voters mailed back more than 2. 6 million ballots that were counted.

USA TODAY.
The claim: Pennsylvania recorded more mail-in votes than ballots requested.
A claim made by President Donald Trump and his supporters on social media is that Pennsylvania election officials reported more mail-in votes for the 2020 election than the number of ballots requested.
Users on Facebook are sharing a screenshot of a viral tweet from Republican state Sen. Doug Mastriano that purports to show data shared by the Pennsylvania Department of State. Data is laid out in a chart, with vote totals for Trump and Democrat Joe Biden, with a timestamp of 8 pm Nov. 24.
Mastriano adds the chart "was posted on our Department of State dashboard but had since been deleted. ".
Below the chart is this question: "Pennsylvania reports having mailed out 1,823,148 ballots, of which 1,462,302 were returned. Yet total mail-in voters number 2,589,242? From where did the extra 1,126,940 votes come?
By December 1 Department of State took down the chart. Amazing every time there is evidence of fraud that the democrats in Department of State removed the charts of the vote totals but it is easy to check that they received more than 100% of the ballots. Happened in Georgia also. This is USA Today a democratic newspaper that reported this.

News that nearly 1,000 Chinese Americans donated a total of $86,000 to the far right group the Proud Boys last December shouldn't surprise anyone.
It should, however, worry Democrats.
Democrats have been counting heavily on shifting demographics with regard to their party's future. Their hope is that as America diversifies and becomes a less white nation, elections will trend Democratic. However, news of large numbers of Chinese Americans supporting white nationalist groups demonstrates once again that demographics are not that simple.
While it may seem illogical that a large number of non-whites would support the far right, a deep dive into the data helps explain this counterintuitive trend.
Immigrants who came to the USA From communist countries Cuba and China, foremost are likely to be fervent anti-communists, and are thus tailor made for right-wing politics, including extreme far-right groups like the Proud Boys.
"You have to understand how we feel. We came from communist China and we managed to come here and we appreciate it here so much," Rebecca Kwan, a Proud Boys donor told USA Today. "The Proud Boys are for Trump and they are fighting Antifa, and can you see anything good that Antifa did except destroy department stores and small businesses?
Newsweek suggested that the donors could be "radicalized Chinese expats or 'deeply conservative' Chinese Americans who support the misogyny and racism of far-right movements.
