I confess that I'm confused by what's going on with the election. What is the hold up? Just the facts first, please.

Facts: Donald Trump is holding up the count by turning to the courts and forcing them to stop. The idea is if he can discredit the mail in ballots enough then he might stand a chance at winning.

Opinion: It's a weird tactic but I th ink his real strategy is to make enough people believe Biden is illegitimately president. That way he can say "it's not my fault I lost, the vote was rigged".
@Qwerty14

That's wild.
But yeah, i can totally buy that as his motivation. His narcissism wouldn't really allow him to believe differently.

@Qwerty14 spot on, it's not overly bright as a set of tactics (as in, regardless of the outcome it winds up Trump's base and ultimately therefore amplifies the division this administration is intent on sowing) but 100% in keeping with everything we've seen in the last 5 years

@Qwerty14 He is trying to, but nobody actually stopped counting - except for a little bit in Arizona when those retards encircled the station.
