My problem is Trump questioning it to create uncertainty around the result without proving it. That's why I think he should be doing this in the courts and not on Twitter/media.

Nope, it’s a second order, they can no longer be counted towards voter tally.

There is plenty of proof, plenty of Americans complaining of voting irregularities.

l have always wanted fair elections Mick as that is what democratic democracy should be as l think Donald Trumps claims of cheating are baseless and unsubstantiated and are more to do with him being a very sore loser but alas he is not the first sore loser in US elections l will grant you that.

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

Ok then we let it play out in the courts.

Same with the recounts. I don't see why everyone is so worried about this process. America is a functioning democracy, not a banana republic. If the Democrats have engaged in mass-scale voting fraud then they'll be found out (I don't know if there is another election or what the US does in that case) and if not then at least people can have confidence in their process.

I am sure there will be individual cases of bad ballots and fraud just as there always is and in those cases weaknesses will be identified and fixed and any criminality will see people in prison.

Although one thing I think everyone will agree on is they need to sort out this counting situation. Entering day 4 now! I can't believe we've come to this but they should all copy Florida.

Yes, to formally confirm compliance with an existing direction from the 28th, not an order for a new behavior

You only like democracy when it's a candidate you favour,is that what your trying to say here? democracy is for the people and that is why this should be scrutinised by the courts, for the people's and for democracy's sake.

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

What a load of unmitigated bollocks as usual as one thing l have always done is accept the results of democratic democracy whoever wins....

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

Democracy is democracy, but cheating in a democracy isn’t. We had plenty of that by your side, after Brexit vote, not you specifically Den.

Exactly, so It’s a second order.

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

They should have accepted that it was the result of a democratic mandate even although it was not the result l personally wanted.

Once one does not accept democratic democracy then its a slippery road downhill from there.

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

Someone cheated? Is there any evidence?

The counters better not be taking the weekend off.

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

U.S is becoming a Banana Republic, did you see the disgusting tweet by AOC, the congresswoman, demanding all Trump backers and supporters be placed on a political list, these folk be treated with disdain, sneered at, so it hampers them when it comes to getting jobs, I mean the Democrats are rotten to the core anyway but do you condone this Communist approach, rounding up the folly, by a Democrat congresswoman, AOC?

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

I don't think the US is becoming a Banana Republic. The very fact the most powerful person in the world is powerless to stop this count and this election unless he avails himself of the proper legal process is evidence of that.


I did see that tweet from AOC and think given the connotations she would be wise to be careful about that kind of thing.

This is what she said:

It certainly doesn't help lower the anger level in the States right now.

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

Apparently it’s a joke when Trump says it at a rally....
