PHOENIX - A crowd of Donald Trump supporters, some armed with rifles and handguns, gathered outside an election center in Arizona on Wednesday night after unsubstantiated rumors that votes for the Republican president were deliberately not being counted.

Chanting “Stop the steal!”, and “Count my vote”, the mostly unmasked protesters stood in front of the Maricopa County Elections Department in Phoenix, as Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden held a razor thin lead in the critical battleground state. Some news outlets have called Arizona for Biden, but Trump’s campaign says it is still in play.

Some of the roughly 200 protesters, who were faced by a line of armed county sheriffs, chanted “Shame on Fox!”. Some said they came out after a tweet from Mike Cernovich, a right-wing activist.

Chris Michael, 40, from Gilbert, Arizona, said he came to make sure all votes are counted. He said he wants assurances that the counting was done “ethically and legally.”

They need weapons for self-defense against Biden’s street gangs.
On that note, how often do they describe the weapons carried by Biden’s thugs, who are very often heavily armed and itching to commit murder.

If Trump doesn’t pull it off... I hope he has the guts to declare martial law, cancel the transfer of power, and establish a temporary dictatorship.

Not joking. I would stand by him. This theft cannot stand. This threat to our nation cannot stand.

60 or 70 million of us are ignoring the media. we don’t buy the narrative we don’t care. I think we can sweep the four states and win. If not then we’ll do what we need to do. And I’ll do whatever Trump wants.

Because if Biden steps foot into the White House America is officially a fascist state.
