While Mr.K is often just trolling, I really think he was simply joking. I smiled.

The Trump Campaign loses another case in Pennsylvania. This time about how far from the count their observers were.

Quote:
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that Republican monitors observing vote counting in Philadelphia were given sufficient access under state law to view the proceedings.
In a 5-2 decision, the court overturned a lower court decision that ordered monitors with President Donald Trump’s campaign be allowed within six feet of tables where ballots were being tallied.
In its opinion, the Supreme Court found that the Philadelphia Board of Elections complied with requirements for observer access from the moment the first votes were counted.
“We conclude the board did not act contrary to the law in fashioning its regulations governing the positioning of candidate representatives,” Justice Debra Todd wrote for the majority. “Critically, we find the board’s regulations … were reasonable.”

Re: U.S Election 2020
It's also worth noting that the two dissenters did so on the grounds they didn't think it was an issue they should be dealing with anyway and that they certainly shouldn't be throwing out voters either.

Chuck Grassley, the 87 year old President Pro Tempore of the Senate (3rd in line of succession to the Presidency) has COVID.
Not good.

Re: U.S Election 2020
BREAKING: Second Georgia County finds uncounted votes in its recount, yesterday, uncounted votes were found on a memory card. Most of the uncounted votes were for Trump, lowering Biden’s State wide tally now only 12,900+ ahead.

Re: U.S Election 2020
Trump has fired the head of the Cyber Security agenda after he said there was no evidence of widespread fraud.

Trump says he's been 'terminated'. Seems rather harsh...

Quote:
Election officials in Michigan’s largest county abruptly reversed course on Tuesday night and certified the presidential election results, with Republican members of the board backtracking after initially blocking the decision.
The two Republicans on the four-member Wayne County board of canvassers — charged with validating the vote count — initially opposed certification and raised questions about mismatches between the totals submitted by local precincts and the final canvass. Less than two hours later, the Republicans joined their Democratic colleagues to unanimously certify the tally from the county, which includes Detroit, and called for Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson to audit the mismatched precincts.

If anyone says the election went smoothly, needs a psychological assessment. There is no excuse for what’s happening, batches of votes being found and not counted, now in 3 counties in Georgia. Forget that this is Trump for a minute, the U.S is suppose to be top notch at elections, but this years has been a farce. Delayed counts-Problem after problem.

Given the size of the US electorate, the short-staffing due to covid and the unprecedented number of postal ballots it's not gone badly at all, although as all of these complications were entirely foreseeable they could probably have done better.
We shouldn't conflate the concept of how smoothly it went, with the question of whether it was fraudulent. The cybersecurity dude got sacked for saying it wasn't fraudulent - which as we are now discovering in courtroom after courtroom, it wasn't.

It is a case of firing the messenger.
A really terrible thing to do. I can't see that the head of Cyber Security could have said anything else if there was no widespread fraud.
It won't encourage the best people in the country to take up such positions if they're going to be fired at will.

Donald Trump is a narcissist and is accustomed to surrounding himself with people who tell him what he wants to hear. The idea of public servants doing their job without fear or favour is clearly problematic for him.
