2024 marks a 21st century rarity: Almost everyone thinks the election results are legitimate
https://edition.cnn.com ^ | 11/20/2024 | Harry Enten, CNN

(CNN — The reaction from Democrats to Donald Trump’s 2024 victory is, to put it mildly, very much unlike their reaction to his 2016 win. Instead of mass protests in the streets, Democrats have been, for the most part, quiet.

Indeed, the aftermath of the 2024 election almost looks like it is from a bygone era. This is the first presidential election in at least a decade when pretty much everyone on the losing side has reached the fifth stage of grief: acceptance.

Take a look at recent polling from Reuters/Ipsos. When asked whether Trump’s win was legitimate, about 94% of voters said it was. This includes 64% who agreed that Trump’s win was legitimate and supported his presidency and another 30% who accepted Trump’s victory but indicated that they would oppose his presidency.

Only about 6% of registered voters said they did not accept the results as legitimate.

Democrats feel basically the same way. About 90% said the results were legitimate, while very few (about 10%) said they were not.

Compare that to where we were four years ago in the aftermath of the 2020 campaign. A Quinnipiac University poll found that 60% of voters said Biden’s win was legitimate while 34% said it wasn’t. Among Republicans, over two-thirds (70%) argued Biden’s victory was illegitimate.

That high percentage of Republicans who thought Biden’s win was illegitimate has pretty much held firm since. Trump, of course, flamed those beliefs by never conceding to Biden and consistently arguing the election was rigged. Trump’s claims were, of course, unfounded. (HAHAHA!)

Yeah, it was somewhat honest - but not fully honest. And the demo-commies are doing their ‘keep Counting’ schtick still, to steal seats.

Not to mention the seats they stole via fraudulent census numbers.

And of that 6% 100% were Hollyweird types who either are or should be on their way out of the country.

Now they are arguing that he won the popular vote by a razor thin landslide.

Just wait until Trump is inaugurated in two months. It’s coming.

Exactly.

We also have to remember that they tried an in-your-face steal of the fifth Senate race.

I'm starting to call them "The Countin' Party"...

Exactly. They are still counting and “curing” the ballots in California.

Looks like the Rs finally figured out how to slow down the massive cheating by the demons. But the demons still stole the senate seats in MI, WI, NV and AZ plus several house seats.

Nope, saw a guy who's active Democrat last night. I asked him what happened to 7mm Democrats who didn't show up for Harris. After giving me the perfectly memorized list of all Trump's 'crimes' and saying, Who could vote for such a person?!" He said, “Republicans probably cheated to get back at us.” He blamed that and “misogyny", bwahahaha!

Boston is a great example.

Boston is a Shining Example of Civics and public involvment, with a zeal for electoral participation.

With upwards of 264% turnout, we should all be proud of these citizens and strive to emulate their enthusiasm.

Legitimate results is not the same as fraud-free...
Just sayin’...

Everybody knows the elections results for Trump were real.

His support was so overwhelming that he was able to overcome a Democrat margin of fraud of 6-10%

I don’t believe the number of people who voted for Kum Holla Harris !
I believe many states Padded her numbers possibly to position her for a 2028 run.
