Spawn_of_Apathy Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 I’m almost hoping the reason Trump allowed Rudy to join in is so that when the Trump campaign loses this, Trump loudly blames Rudy, which sparks a very public, very nasty cripple fight between the two.

Ricofoley Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Apparently there was an imbalance of like 100 votes when they did an audit and the Republicans are saying that they can't certify the results based on that, but people who cover this stuff regularly say that that kind of an imbalance is typical and if everyone was acting in good faith wouldn't hold this up at all unless there was a recount.

Ricofoley Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Yeah, there's a statewide canvassing board that it goes to now for a vote instead, and everyone on Twitter is already like, "Well, don't worry the canvassing board will just approve it then," but... I'm done assuming anything at this point, personally. But apparently the next step after THAT is it would go the courts, so as long as judges keep telling Republicans to eat shit in these cases, they can't actually steal the state.
