    Wait… GOP is declaring victory on Tuesday, while also being the impetus behind assuring that the full results won’t be available until later in the week… at the earliest?

        Same as “stop the count” which is essentially forcing mail-in votes (mostly dems) to be registered after the election closes, and whining that votes are still being registered after it closes.

          1)Early voting typically heavily favors democrats.

          2)Pass laws that make it so you cant count early/mail in ballots before election day.

          3)Point at the big dump of democratic votes on election day from the mail in/early ballots finally being counted

          4)scream “FRAUD” at the scenario you created to try and create the appearance of impropriety, for the explicit purpose of allowing you to cry fraud.

          Republican voting strategy for the past 3 elections.

        Remember what happened to election denial in 2020. It failed. Multiple things will ensure it fails again:

        • Overwhelming votes for Harris, Trump’s numbers nowhere close.
        • Investigations confirming as before that no fraud occurred.
        • MAGA election lawsuits failing as before - last time they went 0 for 43.
        • More prominent Republicans joining their colleagues to denounce Trump.

        MAGA was wrong then and they’re wrong now. When the dust settles they’ll fail again.

      Yes, they want weeks of no official result being declared, during which they say Trump definitely won, so that when the final result comes in, if it’s Harris, they can say Democrats are trying to overturn the election
