Trump 'wins' re-election

The reason republikans also like to promote the voter-fraud nonsense is to use it as an excuse for suppressing the vote harder the next election, they know it's nonsense that will go nowhere in court but by backing Trump in these frivulous lawsuits they are able to both please Trump supporters and justify their anti-democratic strategies.
The republikan establishment do genuinly like Trump, he is a clown they can easily manipulate and there is hardly any real difference in policy between Trump and the GOP.

What were the democrats doing?
A lot of democrats were delusional enough to think that a significant portion of the republikan voter-base didn't like Trump and thus Joe Biden would be able to attract these people, they did get support from the worthless lincoln project but they did not have much success actually attracting real voters.
Trump had 95% approval rating among republikans prior to the election, they loved him and still do.

Trump might be preparing a Coup d'état now when he has lost, unfortunatily for him he is too stupid for that to be likely to work, well it could still work but most likely Biden will take-over January 20.

Russias official stance was that election is an internal matter for United States but they may have been involved in some misinformation campaigns trying to help Trump (which clearly wasn't enough).
Big tech may have been the deciding factor. Reddit banned r/the_donald while Trump was busy playing golf, had Trump and GOP been more aggressive against twitter/reddit/etc it's likely they would have kept the presidency.
Trump have himself to blame for failing to rig the election in his favour.

Voter-fraud hotline
Unsurprisingly when the Trump Campaign started that it got bogged down by prank calls. They also allowed people to send images and you can figure out what types of images they got as a result.

Trump really wanted to win this, it's obvious the presidency meant a lot to him. The reason he did 5 rallies a day was becuase he desperately wanted to win. Now he will have to face being a loser which he will not handle well at all.

Trump dismissed by judge appointed by Trump
His legal challenges are going nowhere because he has failed to present any real evidence.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBrciV-sPZE
A lawsuit brought by President Trump’s campaign that sought to block the certification of Pennsylvania’s election results was dismissed by a federal judge on Saturday evening.
U.S. District Judge Matthew W. Brann granted a request from Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar to dismiss the suit, which alleged that Republicans had been illegally disadvantaged because some counties allowed voters to fix errors on their mail ballots.
The judge’s decision, which he explained in a scathing 37-page opinion, was a thorough rebuke of the president’s sole attempt to challenge the statewide result in Pennsylvania.
Brann wrote that Trump’s campaign had used “strained legal arguments without merit and speculative accusations” in its effort to throw out millions of votes.
“In the United States of America, this cannot justify the disenfranchisement of a single voter, let alone all the voters of its sixth most populated state,” Brann wrote.
In a statement, Trump’s attorney, Rudolph W. Giuliani, and legal adviser Jenna Ellis said they would appeal the decision and expected the case to reach the Supreme Court. “We are disappointed we did not at least get the opportunity to present our evidence at a hearing,” their statement said.
Trump was beaten in Pennsylvania by Joe Biden, who currently holds a lead over the president of more than 81,000 votes. Counties are due to file their official results Monday to Boockvar, who will then certify the statewide tallies.
Sen. Patrick J. Toomey (R-Pa.) said in a statement after Brann’s decision that Trump had “exhausted all plausible legal options” in the state and acknowledged that Biden won the election. “I congratulate President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala D. Harris on their victory,” said Toomey.
The lawsuit’s dismissal concluded a tumultuous 12-day legal bid by the president to overturn the popular vote in one of the election’s hardest-fought battlegrounds.
Giuliani personally took charge of the case and appeared at a hearing Tuesday in Williamsport, Pa., in an attempt to justify it. Five other attorneys who represented the president withdrew from the case.
Trump’s quest to overturn election runs into quiet resistance from local and state Republicans
The president’s defeat was the latest in setbacks that he has suffered in a scramble to overturn losses in key states including Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada and Wisconsin.
In Pennsylvania, Trump’s campaign sued Boockvar and a group of counties won by Biden, alleging that they had violated the campaign’s constitutional rights by allowing voters to “cure” administrative errors on their mail ballots.
Brann wrote on Saturday that Trump’s attorneys had haphazardly stitched this allegation together “like Frankenstein’s Monster” in an attempt to avoid unfavorable legal precedent.
In trying to depict “ballot curing” as illegal, Trump’s attorneys misstated a decision by Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court. Brann noted in his order Saturday that the court had in fact “declined to explicitly answer whether such a policy is necessarily forbidden.”
The president’s campaign sued together with two voters from counties that Trump won, both of whom had their mail ballots rejected because of administrative errors.
Brann wrote on Saturday that throwing out the election result would not reinstate the pair’s right to vote. “It would simply deny more than 6.8 million people their right to vote,” the judge wrote.
Giuliani and Ellis described Brann late Saturday as an “Obama-appointed judge,” referring to his appointment to the federal bench by Trump’s Democratic predecessor in 2012. But Brann is a registered Republican and a former member of the conservative Federalist Society. Toomey, who played an influential role in his appointment, said Brann was “a longtime conservative Republican whom I know to be a fair and unbiased jurist.”
Toomey urged Trump to accept defeat and facilitate the transition to the Biden administration. Trump has refused to concede and falsely insists that he won the election.
Trump’s lawsuit in Pennsylvania initially included formal allegations that Boockvar and Democratic-leaning counties also violated the campaign’s rights by preventing Republican observers from watching votes being counted, which the defendants denied.
Those claims were scrapped in a revised version of the suit filed last Sunday. Giuliani and other Trump advisers initially denied that the claims had been dropped, then said they had “strategically decided to restructure” the suit, before finally saying in court filings that the claims were removed by mistake.
Giuliani asked the judge for permission to restore the deleted claims about count observers in a proposed third version of the lawsuit, but his request was dismissed by Brann along with the rest of the campaign’s legal effort. The judge said Trump’s campaign did not have standing to bring the lawsuit but that even if it had standing it would have failed based on the merits of its case.
The suit’s dismissal left Trump without even a long-shot strategy for overturning his defeat to Biden in Pennsylvania, which the president has baselessly attributed to fraud.
State law requires Boockvar and Gov. Tom Wolf, both Democrats, to certify the election results and appoint the state’s presidential electors based on the popular vote. The leaders of the state’s Republican-controlled legislature have said they will do nothing to interfere with that process, even as some Trump supporters have urged them to sabotage it.
The state’s Supreme Court is considering an appeal from Trump’s campaign that seeks to throw out about 8,000 ballots in Philadelphia where voters did not include details such as the date on their ballot envelopes.
Earlier on Saturday, a group of Republicans, led by Rep. Mike Kelly (R-Pa.), filed a lawsuit in the state’s Commonwealth Court that seeks to block certification of the results on the grounds that the 2019 state legislation creating a universal vote-by-mail system was unconstitutional.
Trump said in a tweet on Saturday that Kelly’s legal effort was “not at all frivolous.”

Trump reluctantly agrees to a transfer of power
Of course he has still not conceded but he at least agreed to initiate the transition process in the case he is unable to prevail challenging the election results.

It will be over for Trump if (when) Pennsylvania certifies Joe Biden as winner of that state.

Pennsylvania called for Biden
The only avenue left for Trump is a military coup. There are still a lot of states that have not yet certified the results but if you add up the states where both chambers of the state-legislature are democrat controlled you get to 274 which is already enough for a Biden win.

Pennsylvania and Nevada certify election results for Biden, North Carolina for Trump
(CNN)Pennsylvania and Nevada on Tuesday certified their 2020 general election results, formally awarding a combined 26 electoral votes from two key battleground states to President-elect Joe Biden.
North Carolina's election board also certified the state's presidential vote totals on Tuesday, awarding the state's 15 electoral votes to President Donald Trump.
CNN had already projected Biden as the winner in both Pennsylvania, where he was leading by more than 81,000 votes, and in Nevada, where Biden won by more than 33,000 votes, according to the secretary of state's office.
"Today @PAStateDept certified the results of the November 3 election in Pennsylvania for president and vice president of the United States. As required by federal law, I've signed the Certificate of Ascertainment for the slate of electors for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris," Gov. Tom Wolf wrote in a Twitter post.
Wolf went onto thank election officials for their work.
"Again, I want to thank the election officials who have administered a fair and free election during an incredibly challenging time in our commonwealth and country's history. Our election workers have been under constant attack and they have performed admirably and honorably," Wolf added.
Pennsylvania's certification comes after the state's 67 counties certified precinct results to the Secretary of the Commonwealth, Kathy Boockvar.
Boockvar said that the counties submitted their presidential vote totals late Monday.
Appearing before the Nevada Supreme Court on Tuesday morning, Nevada Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske officially certified Nevada's 2020 general election results. Cegavske, a Republican, did not verbally acknowledge Biden the winner of the presidential race. The Nevada Supreme Court signed the canvassing for each county prior to official certification of the results.
States are scheduled to certify their results by December 8, ahead of the Electoral College meeting on December 14.
Tuesday's certifications followed a dramatic meeting on Monday of Michigan's state election board, which also voted to certify election results for Biden after one of the board's two Republican members decided to abstain.
That triggered the state of formal transition proceedings by the federal General Services Administration.

Trump loses Pennsylvania ‘election fraud’ appeal
President’s legal team will attempt to bring election case to Supreme Court
In a blow to Donald Trump’s spurious legal campaign to challenge the results of the 2020 presidential election, a federal appellate court has rejected his emergency appeal in a Pennsylvania lawsuit.
The 3-0 rejection in the case, seeking another attempt to overturn the Pennsylvania results after a lower court had tossed out the suit last week, is yet another loss in the Trump campaign’s attempt to undermine president-elect Joe Biden’s victory.
Mr Biden won the state by roughly 80,000 votes, according to Pennsylvania secretary of state’s office.
A blistering ruling from the Third District’s Stephanos Bibas – a Trump-appointed judge – said “free, fair elections are the lifeblood of our democracy”.
“Charges of unfairness are serious,” he said in his ruling on Friday. "But calling an election unfair does not make it so. Charges require specific allegations and then proof. We have neither here."
In his opinion, attached to the 21-page ruling, Judge Bibas said the Trump campaign has tried to “repackage” its claims about state law governing poll observers as “unconstitutional discrimination.”
The case suggested poll watchers did not have access to the vote-counting process, and that the state illegally allowed counties to decide whether voters could fix mail-in ballots with missing signatures or secrecy envelopes.
“Yet its allegations are vague and conclusory,” the judge said. “It never alleges that anyone treated the Trump campaign or Trump votes worse than it treated the Biden campaign or Biden votes. And federal law does not require poll watchers or specify how they may observe. It also says nothing about curing technical state-law errors in ballots. Each of these defects is fatal.”
The judge argued that the number of ballots that the campaign has targeted is far smaller than the margin of victory for it to have any meaningful impact.
“And it never claims fraud or that any votes were cast by illegal voters,” Judge Bibas said. “Plus, tossing out millions of mail-in ballots would be drastic and unprecedented, disenfranchising a huge swath of the electorate and upsetting all down-ballot races too. That remedy would be grossly disproportionate to the procedural challenges raised."
The president’s attorney Rudy Giuliani – who has repeatedly insisted that the election was marred by fraud, despite not presenting evidence in court – declared the lower-court ruling earlier this month was a victory that would bring the case closer to the US Supreme Court.
Mr Giuliani, who appeared at a hearing with GOP state lawmakers in Pennsylvania on Wednesday, intends to take the appellate court decision to the nation’s high court.
“The activist judicial machinery in Pennsylvania continues to cover up the allegations of massive fraud,” campaign attorney Jenna Ellis and Mr Giuliani said in a statement following Friday’s decision.
Those “activist” judges on the appeals court’s three-judge panel were nominated by Republicans.
“We are very thankful to have had the opportunity to present proof and the facts” to the state legislature, they said. “On to SCOTUS!”
In the lower-court ruling, US District Judge Matthew Brann called the campaign’s filings “Frankenstein’s monster” that was “haphazardly stitched together”, in his rejection of Mr Giuliani’s attempt to amend the complain a second time. Friday’s ruling agreed with that decision.

Trump-Funded Recount Turns Up More Votes for Biden Ahead of Wisconsin Certification
Results for one of the two counties President Donald Trump's campaign paid have been tallied, giving President-elect Joe Biden a slightly bigger lead over the president in the 2020 election.
The Trump campaign spent $3 million for a partial recount in the Wisconsin's Milwaukee and Dane counties. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that the Milwaukee County recount found 257 more votes for Biden and 125 for Trump, giving Biden a slightly larger lead of 132 in that county. The final recount showed 317,527 ballots cast for Biden and 134,482 for Trump.
Dane County is anticipated to finish its recount by Sunday. As of Saturday, Dane County Clerk Scott McDonell said that officials were about 83 percent done with the recount.
The deadline for recounts is Tuesday, so the state election commissions can certify the election.
"There was an examination of every ballot by election workers, a meticulous recounting of every ballot that was properly cast, a transparent process that allowed the public to observe, a fair process that allows the aggrieved candidate who sought the recount an opportunity to observe and object to ballots they believe should not be counted," Milwaukee County Clerk George Christenson said, reported the Journal Sentinel.
Trump has repeatedly claimed that voter fraud cost him the election in many of the states he lost. Many of his allegations have been debunked and dismissed.
Rick Baas, a Republican member of the County Board of Canvassers, cited human error as the reason for any mistakes. "I trust the Trump campaign is looking forward to its day in court. There were a number of things that had to be corrected, and they're often represented as just human error, and usually they are," he said.
"It is important for people to understand how their government works. A recount is just that: a recount. There's evidence that will be taken to another level, and it'll be reviewed there, but as this body has conducted itself in a manner that is exemplary," he continued.
The Trump campaign has filed several lawsuits to try to prove that voter fraud cost him the election in a number of swing states, such as Pennsylvania. Most of the lawsuits have been dismissed.
On Twitter, people mocked Trump for the results of the Wisconsin recount, with people pointing out the irony. Katie Couric tweeted: "Be Careful What You Wish For."
According to the Associated Press, Biden won Wisconsin by a very small lead with almost 21,000 votes. Biden received 49.6 percent of the vote, and Trump received 48.9 percent.
On Saturday afternoon, Trump tweeted that the recount was for "finding people who have voted illegally," rather than "finding mistakes in the count." He claimed that the campaign has found illegal votes and will be brought about on Monday or Tuesday, after the recount is finished.
The president ended his tweet by telling his followers to "Stay tuned!"
The Trump campaign did not respond to Newsweek's emailed request for comment in time for publication.

The Trump campaign did not respond to Newsweek's emailed request for comment in time for publication.

Trump has realized he has lost and will now instead focus on 2024
All 50 states have certified the results
Unsurprisingly Trump is running out of legal ways to stay in power with the only option left being a Coup d'état, maybe if Trump was smarter he would be able to pull that off and he would also have had a better legal strategy for winning.
All 50 states and the District of Columbia have now certified their presidential results, according to CNN's tally, as the Electoral College process moves forward with the meeting of electors on Monday.
West Virginia became the final state to certify its presidential election results Wednesday, formally declaring that President Donald Trump is entitled to the state's five electoral votes.
President-elect Joe Biden is projected to win 306 electoral votes, and Trump is projected to win 232. It takes 270 electoral votes of the 538 available to become president.
The states' certifications come as Trump has baselessly claimed that the election was rigged and sowed doubt about the outcome of the presidential race. Dozens of lawsuits challenging the results have been dismissed at the state and federal levels across the country since the November election.
Each state has different processes for certifying results, and some states certified their slate of presidential electors separately from state and local election results.
The next major step in the Electoral College process is the meeting of the electors, who are required by law to convene on the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December, which this year is December 14. The electors' votes are later transmitted to officials and counted in a joint session of Congress on January 6.
Some states have laws that seek to bind their electors to the winning candidate and in some instances stipulate that so-called "faithless electors" may be subject to penalties or replaced by another elector. The Supreme Court ruled this summer that such laws punishing members of the Electoral College for breaking a pledge to vote for the state's popular vote winner are constitutional.

The electoral college vote to elect Joe Biden as president
Unsurprisingly the electoral collage voted for Biden.
https://edition.cnn.com/politics/live-news/electoral-college-vote-2020-biden-trump/index.html
Many congressional Republicans who have refused thus far to say that Biden won the election have claimed they are waiting for Monday's Electoral College vote to certify the results. But some of Trump's staunchest House Republican allies are preparing for a floor fight when the votes are counted in Congress next month.
Lawmakers can dispute a state's election result when the votes are counted next month. But a challenge can only be considered if both a House member and a senator sign onto it. So far only House Republicans have said they will contest the results, although some GOP senators have suggested they are considering joining.
Even if a senator signs on to challenge the results, it's only delaying the inevitable. In that case, the House and Senate separately debate the matter for two hours and vote on it. Democrats control the House, and enough GOP senators have already said they reject Trump's claims of fraud that a challenge would not succeed there either. Both chambers of the house would have to approve said objection.
