A group of President Donald Trump’s allies and associates spent months trying to overturn the 2020 election based on his lie that he was the true winner.
Now, some of the same confidants who tried and failed to invalidate the results based on a set of bogus legal theories are pushing an even wilder sequel: that by “decertifying” the 2020 vote in key states, the outcome can still be reversed.
In statehouses and courtrooms across the country, as well as on right-wing news outlets, allies of Trump — including lawyer John Eastman — are pressing for states to pass resolutions rescinding Electoral College votes for President Joe Biden and to bring lawsuits that seek to prove baseless claims of large-scale voter fraud. Some of those allies are casting their work as a precursor to reinstating the former president.
The efforts have failed to change any statewide outcomes or uncover mass election fraud. Legal experts dismiss them as preposterous, noting that there is no plausible scenario under the Constitution for returning Trump to office.
But just as Eastman’s original plan to use Congress’ final count of electoral votes on Jan. 6, 2021, to overturn the election was seen as far-fetched in the run-up to the deadly Capitol riot, the continued efforts are fueling a false narrative that has resonated with Trump’s supporters and stoked their grievances. They are keeping alive the same combustible stew of conspiracy theory and misinformation that threatens to undermine faith in democracy by nurturing the lie that the election was corrupt.

Not to mention counting votes in the middle of the night after you send the observers home. Simultaneously. In the key swing states...
What is their definition of "mass fraud" I wonder. What is their acceptable amount of "fraud" I wonder. Is it 10 votes, 100 votes, 1000 votes? Is there basis "enough to overturn an election"? Because that's a non working premise. Is it O.K. to steal $50,000 from a bank because it isn't "enough" to bankrupt the bank?
NY Times via yahoo - the preferred route of government propaganda.
That’s what the Preview button is for :)
The NYT’s version of sticking their fingers in their ears and saying “LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA...”
Good point.
At the moment, the anti-white forces in control of the country are scared and at hair-trigger alertness. The military is being purged.
As others have pointed out, there is no Constitutional process to recall Electors or to recount the votes without the recalled Electors.
What I do not want is a bloodbath of patriots, which any restoration without the full support of the military will involve.
“based on his lie”
“based on a set of bogus legal theories”
” seek to prove baseless claims”
“fueling a false narrative”
“keeping alive the same combustible stew of conspiracy theory and misinformation”
The gaslighting never ends.

Need I say anything????
There is no Constitutional part for the military to play in this. So if the military steps in and removes Biden, they will also have to suspend Congress and the judiciary. Open that can of worms and who can tell what will happen.
The same people saying there is no evidence of a stolen election are the same people who said there was hard evidence of Trump/Russian collusion.
But the people who are saying there is evidence of a stolen election are not taking that evidence to court at either the state or federal level. Until they do then it's easy to just dismiss them.
Nah
BTW : what does ‘gaslighting’ mean?
“Yes it can.”
Sorry, but just stomping your foot and insisting on something doesn’t override the U.S. constitution.
Exactly.
Voting machines that use proprietary software should be illegal.
I dunno..it’s a leftist term that is used to explain an idea, response or action leftists cannot explain with logic for a cogent argument. I don’t specifically remember ever having used the term, myself.... :0)
as long as you belong to the Media-Dem Party you can claim an election was stolen as long as you want without a shred of evidence. In the case of the 2020 election, there is literally tons of evidence, including a Time magazine article boasting about how the election was stolen thru illegal voting changes, media manipulation, and social media censorship.
Trump won but the Electoral College vote was certified for Brandon and it cannot be undone.

Complete nonsense. Anything done by the Electoral College can be undone!
“based on a set of bogus legal theories”
” seek to prove baseless claims”
“fueling a false narrative”

Of course, this was published on the opinion pages of the NYT, correct? {/sarcasm}
I'd note that this is the same NYT that sent an army of "reporters" to Florida, and spend hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of dollars trying to uncover fraud and overturn the election that led to Bush's win over Gore.
If they didn't have double-standards, the NYT would have no standards whatsoever.
