WASHINGTON - Monday seemed like the end of President Donald Trump’s relentless challenges to the election, after the federal government acknowledged President-elect Joe Biden was the “apparent winner” and Trump cleared the way for cooperation on a transition of power.
But his baseless claims have a way of coming back. And back. And back.
The 2020 presidential race is turning into the zombie election that Trump just won’t let die. Despite dozens of legal and procedural setbacks, his campaign keeps filing new challenges that have no hope of succeeding and making fresh, unfounded claims of fraud.
But that’s the point. Trump’s strategy wasn’t to change the outcome, but to create a host of phantom claims about the 2020 presidential race that would infect the nation with doubt, even though the winner was clear and there has been no evidence of mass voter fraud.
“Zombies are dead people walking along the living - this litigation is the same thing,” said Franita Tolson, a professor at the University of Southern California Gould School of Law. “In terms of litigation that could change the election, all these cases are basically dead men walking.”
“This really is our version of a polite coup d’etat,” said Thomas Mann, senior resident scholar at the Institute of Governmental Studies at the University of California at Berkeley. “It could end quickly if the Republican Party acknowledged what was going on. But they cower in the face of Trump’s connection with the base.”
“The legal process seems to be unfolding the way it’s supposed to, but the Trump campaign has made clear its desire to throw wrenches in the system wherever it can,” said Lisa Marshall Manheim, a professor at the University of Washington School of Law.

Apparently these three stooges are unaware of the developments in PA and NV just yesterday.
They need three to contact the three alumni they got the three quotes from. Law teachers from USC,Berkley, Washington U.
Places where all the problems start.
“...after the federal government acknowledged President-elect Joe Biden was the “apparent winner”...”
Who is the “Federal Government”? When did this federal government acknowledge anything about the election?
If anything, the federal government has been contesting the elections, hence all the lawsuits.
Three heads with a combined IQ of 100.
I’ve noticed it always 2 or more to write tripe like this. Bunch a cowards
Who are they trying to convince....us or themselves.
“I’ve noticed it always 2 or more to write tripe like this. Bunch a cowards”
It’s a giveaway they recently graduated from college/journalism school. These are likely millenials who cannot handle personal accountability, so, for protection, they make their assertions as a group, and if you challenge them they will then gang up on you like a pride of lions.
The MSM’s refusal to report reality will start Civil War II.
They must stop a true investigation at any cost.
They must be worried because Kommie Harris has not resigned her Senate seat.
The major failing of the leftist media is no means to provide feedback or interact. It makes them dead media, not interactive.
Ergo, truly boring. It’s hard to imagine a younger generation use to sharing memes, tweets and texts can find much interest in reading something like that. I don’t see how their current business model is viable without external influence and support.
Which is to say I expect the only reason they remain viable is financial back from the enemies of America.
It only takes one or two decisions in Trump’s favor to make a difference, but so far they’re batting zero.
I don’t recall the AP being so outraged about the phony Russia Collusion hoax, or any of the other conspiracy theories designed to throw wrenches into our system. Maybe I just missed their outrage.
It should be instructive to watch the propagandists in America’s Chained Press, as they navigate this effort for their masters.
I believe the so-called “Press” has one purpose, at this point. It controls the Left’s street-monkeys. It can release the Left’s version of the “Kraken” in a wave of violence across the country.
The “Press” is being cagey, right now. It has to keep the troops on the alert, without driving them to a violence that would push America to Trump as he is fighting legally.
Why is our media so determined to kill this story — one of the biggest events our nation has ever faced — rather than investigate it?
FReepers know the answer. And, God willing, soon Americans with ears to listen and eyes to see will too.
Heck, Stacy Abrams lost by 50,000 votes in 2016 and still hasn’t admitted defeat. Hillary really has not acknowledged her defeat either. The President is just following their lead at the worst and totally exposing a corrupt system at best. Keep on Truckin’, Mr. President.
“refuse election loss”
“his baseless claims”
“that Trump just won’t let die.”
“unfounded claims of fraud.”
There’s no media bias. Yeah.
Referencing Poltergeist, referring to zombies, calling filing legal cases a coup d’etat, and three authors...
There’s liberals and 750K student debt for you.
Powell has filed in GA & MI. Will she file in PA?
Talk about gaslighting, read Sidney Powell’s Wikipedia page.
