Imagine: It’s midnight, and the electoral map looks quite red. But news networks and election officials aren't calling the swing states, as this year’s record numbers of mail-in and absentee ballots have yet to be fully counted. Mr. Trump, leading in the popular vote, decides he’s seen enough. He takes to his social media platforms and declares that he has won re-election and will accept no other result. He tells his tens of millions of followers that the Democrats and the press will try to change the result and steal the election. The door to unrest and constitutional crisis swings wide open.
Facebook, Twitter and YouTube have all pledged to crack down on misinformation around voting and electoral outcomes. Perhaps in the above scenario they append a label to the president’s posts saying that the information is disputed and that the results are not in. They could introduce friction into the algorithms to slow the reach of the posts.
But pro-Trump lawmakers and pundits most likely would have picked up the argument by then, amplifying the president’s message. What started as one prominent piece of voter disinformation easily could become widespread in the Republican Party and among a large segment of Americans. What would the platforms do then?

Does the NYT pay taxes????
California will be blue on Nov. 3, so why even bother with this one, except on general principle. Heck, the 9th Circus might rule favorably nowadays if the Trump admin pursues a suit against CA’s ballot harvesting Cheat-O-Rama law.
Do you mean:
I wish the President hadn’t fallen for that setup question and dignified it with a response?
or
I wish the President wouldn’t fall for that setup question and dignified it with a response.
They already told us they plan to steal the election after election day.
This is just more fodder for the sheep.
So what? They tried the Selected, Not Elected route with Bush (II). Bush did better in his re-election than he did in 2000.
That might be the best the Dems can hope for at this point. A bloody shirt to wave around in his second term.
The market will crash if Biden wins. That is the real Wall Street panic right now.
Taxes will go up.
Regulations will go up.
Liberty and personal consumption will be throttled down.
And the democrats will call it Trumps fault and continue to destroy the economy and then begin the “New Normal” BS
That is the critical point of the ballot-harvesting the Dims want to accomplish.
As in 2016 when Florida was critical, and a few counties hadn't reported in, there were not enough votes 'out there' to swing the state for Hillary.
This time the Dims won't know how many ballots to produce to steal the various battleground states until late in the evening.
Unless it's a 10-15% stomping by Trump(my expectation), the Dims are going to use every dirty trick for Pedo Joe.
The plan is for huge protests/riots by Trump supporters that burn the metro election offices and all the mail in ballots.
pop the cork on the champaign, then face San Francisco and piss.
It’s a Democrat turnaround payback.
Counted or manufactured?
Btw, are they not planning on calling California until every vote is counted? This is such a dumb premise. Trump is President and can walk outside get a hundred journalist nation wide and just say what he wants and Twitter can’t stop it.
Purpose of this will be to inject FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) into the results, hopefully muddying the waters enough for the Dems to get to work invalidating as many Republican ballots as they can while "harvesting" as many Democrat ballots as possible in all the key areas where the results are close enough to overturn.
Like others on the forum today, I have faith that Trump has already smelled this plot out and has prepared accordingly. If the victory is clear, I am confident that Trump will claim victory that night and that there will be quick arrests of anybody caught cheating.
We can help Trump by having the most massive election day turnout in history. Everybody votes. No excuses.
The reason that California remains important is we have a chance of regaining some of the Congressional seats we lost in 2018. With 17 days to count (read: manufacture) the ballots, the GOP might be denied that chance.
Over four years we've seen endless, foundation less conspiracies and outright lies. Will we finally see the "peaceful transition of power" we were due in Jan 2016? Or will the left go with riots and pillaging and sit-ins and a constant barrage of fake news.
They helped cover up RBG's health, what will they do about Joe Biden's? We're in a post "news" world. They are not a free press, they are not speaking truth to power, they are not holding elected officials feet to the fire. If Trump wins, over the next four years, and even more importantly if he does not, we MUST refocus on exposing the press and social media corporations.
10,000,000 additional ballots in California won’t change the white house.
But it is funny that even in the Democrat primaries they commit vote fraud to favor this or that candidate. That is strictly Rat against Rat crime.
Celebrate of course!!!
This is another POV, not sure what to say!

Note, Biden/”Scarecrow”!
>>But the losers have to understand that challenging a legitimate election, like the Democrats did in 2016 and 2000, and more recently in some state elections is damaging to our nation.
Nixon knew that even challenging an illegitimate election as in 1960 would be damaging to our nation (especially during the Cold War).
