ELECTION 2020

[Rootilda]

I have no idea if the mail in ballots were fraudulent or not, I can't possibly know things that I can't see. Most likely they're not, but you never know what people are up to. Trump thinks they are fraudulent, however, and if he didnt call it then, it would be harder for him to call it after the fact. All I'm saying is that was his strategy when Roo asked why he would call for a stop count with Biden in the lead.

Okay, consider this. Trump and friends spent considerable time saying how fraudulent mail-in voting was. So his followers absorbed the message and voted in person, same day.

The Dems didn't. So Trump has a big surge of votes because... same day voting. But the equally legal and legitimate voting by mail doesn't get counted in most states until election day when the polls have closed. That's millions and millions of ballots that need to be processed while the entire world waits impatiently.

Trump sees he's ahead on election night and claims early victory and can't get it through his little peanut brain that most of the Dem votes are counted later and instantly thinks there's a sinister plot against him to steal the election.

None of this is new, we've been using absentee or mail-in ballots forever, just not *this* many. But that doesn't matter, Trump sees he's ahead and that's the end of the story. So I think that's why he wanted the count stopped. Unfortunately, he's several million votes behind Biden at this point and about forty points behind on electoral votes.

Like I said, I think you give him too much credit. There's no "plan" in his head, he's just pissed off.
