As vote counting continues, the reality that Donald Trump is on the brink of being defeated is dawning on Americans. Donald Trump, of course, doesn’t believe in reality. In fact he doesn’t really believe in anything except whatever it is, on any given day, that makes him feel less like the failure of a human being he is. As vote counts in places like Michigan and Pennsylvania begin chipping away at the early leads Trump had, and extending leads Biden has, Trump’s campaign has made a claim that it has filed a lawsuit to halt absentee vote counting. That has not happened as far as anyone can tell.
NBC News reporter Steve Patterson posted video of “Large, animated crush of “stop the count” protestors trying to push their way into TCF hall in #Detroit where ballots are being counted.They’re being blocked by guards at the door. Pizza boxes are pushed against the window to obstruct view. It’s tense.” In the video you can see below, the group is packed up at the door. According to an update from Patterson, the group claims to be “poll or election challengers claiming that there aren’t enough nonpartisan challengers inside.” Ummm. Fuck off.
As many people have pointed out, Trump is well behind in Michigan, so stopping the count isn’t going to help him much.
Trump’s lawsuit against voting has finally been discovered. I guess these people are the “challengers” Trump calls “bipartisan” in his lawsuit?
