President Donald Trump is testing how far he can go in using the trappings of presidential power to undermine confidence in this weeks election against Joe Biden, as the Democrat gained ground in tight contests in some key battleground states.
With his pathway to re-election appearing to shrink, Trump on Thursday advanced unsupported accusations of voter fraud to falsely argue that his rival was trying to seize power. It amounted to an extraordinary effort by a sitting American president to sow doubt about the democratic process.
This is a case when they are trying to steal an election, they are trying to rig an election, Trump said from the podium of the White House briefing room.
The presidents remarks deepened a sense of anxiety in the U.S. as Americans enter their third full day after the election without knowing who would serve as president for the next four years. His statements also prompted a rebuke from some Republicans, particularly those looking to steer the party in a different direction in a post-Trump era.
Biden spent Thursday trying to ease tensions and project a more traditional image of presidential leadership. After participating in a coronavirus briefing, he declared that each ballot must be counted.
Trumps erroneous claims about the integrity of the election challenged Republicans now faced with the choice of whether to break with a president who, though his grip on his office grew tenuous, commanded sky-high approval ratings from rank-and-file members of the GOP.

What a joke.
They’re going to do it, what are we gonna do? sit back?
They’re going to do it, what are we gonna do? sit back?
I don’t think these dipsticks realize they are covering themselves in manure when they use this type of loaded language. But it’s good that the mask has slipped, and the veiled bias is now completely out in the open.
The fascinating thing is that these counties and precincts where “counting” takes so long always (as in ALWAYS) find more and more Democrat votes as the process grinds on.
When will we demand a process the ensures election integrity? What the h**l is the job of the Federal Election Commission?
Same as you.
Give us a break AP ......
Three Asspress lunatics stopped their celebration to write this.
President Trump needs to share evidence of voter fraud. Irregularities raise suspicion, but not sufficient evidence. So far, I have heard of a handful of dead voters; and, that seven precincts in Milwaukee voted more than 100 percent of registered voters. This is a start. But, more evidence needs to be presented. There should also be a web site where this evidence is presented for public scrutiny.
If Biden is elected President, he must be tainted.
Impeach 46!
46 is not legit !
As someone posted in another thread:
Trump lost NY by 13. He lost by 24 last time!!!
But he lost all those battleground states.
No way.
86 46!
Well good gosh and golly... no editorializing in THAT lead sentence... WHOOOT!!!! /sarc
Associated Press writers Jill Colvin, Colleen Long and Alexandra Jaffe in Washington contributed to this report.
Counting the votes at this point is sheer uselessness and/or stupidity.
The whole election was put into the hands of the same people as impeachment was for 4 years... they were salivating over the power they finally had to override Trumps base, and finally get him out of Washington. A thing called truth and law... easily put aside if enough of them did... and finally get rid of Trump.
If this stands, we are DONE as a nation. Someone has to fight this... it doesn’t matter about whether you like him or not... this is another coup attempt and it’s done with no more than hate and having the power to do it if no one stops them.
5 Nov: ***Daily Beast: Hannity Brings on Data Analyst to Keep Outrage Alive Over His Own Networks Arizona Call
‘UNBELIEVABLE’
by Justin Baragona
While numerous other Fox News personalities have openly questioned (LINK) the networks decision desk over the projection that has enraged President Donald Trump, Hannity took his criticism to the next level by bringing on a data analyst to undercut his colleagues.
After Data Orbital president George Khalaf said he felt the race would be effectively tied after all remaining Arizona votes are counted, Hannity asked whether the race should never have been called by any outlet. Absolutely. The call was extremely premature when it was made, Khalaf responded.
Unbelievable, Hannity huffed.

Chelsea is on the Board of Diller’s IAC (***Daily Beast):
7 Jan: Chelsea Clinton Made Millions on Boards Run by Clinton Mega-Donor
By Tobias Hoonhout
Chelsea Clinton has made millions while serving on two boards overseen by billionaire Barry Diller, a longtime Clinton family ally who donated over $800,000 to Hillary Clintons 2016 campaign, according to a review of records.
Barrons reported Sunday that Clinton has made more than $9 million from her shares of media-holding company IACs stock since 2011 due to surging evaluations. While finishing a doctorate at Oxford University, Clinton was appointed to the IAC board, on which Diller serves as Chairman and Senior Executive.
