I still want AZ, GA, and NV. It needs to be a definitive victory. I don’t trust the courts. Just barely pushing past 270 isn’t enough, and it’s certainly not enough in terms of Biden’s perceived legitimacy. ---

Fitting that the end comes while Trump is on a golf course and his lawyers are attempting to keep a handful of reporters interested in some story about fraud at a landscaping warehouse next to a porn store. ---

I don’t want any faithless electors. Biden needs to have over 304, which was what Trump ended up with after two electors didn’t vote for him. Those two votes are going to just eat him up inside when people say that Biden’s victory was greater than his. ---

Meanwhile, the “Big Press Conference” is Rudy G. in front, as promised, in front of an obscure Philly landscaping company. He’s currently saying that he’s got “50 or 60” Republican poll watchers who will testify they weren’t allowed to, er, watch the polls. Apparently it’s the old complaint that they were being held back six feet due to COVID concerns. No actual evidence pf fraud being presented. Lawsuits will be filed Monday, blah blah blah.
