Re-watch them if you can. Pressed again and again, he not only refused to say he'd accept the results of the election...he actually made clear that there are millions of votes he has no intention of counting if he has his way.
First, our early votes are counted and announced first. (Except for the ones still in the mail on Election Day, which have 10 days to arrive), 8:00 p.m. or so on election night.
There won't be anything to challenge here. Or a long delay.
Our EVs are counted and out first

Second, our mail-in ballots are only sent to those who have applied, so Trump's BS claim about directly sent ballots doesn't apply here.
He can't apply his conspiracy theory to Ohio's mailed in ballots.
So even though he's tied here, or behind, he is currently "dark" on television. He keeps cancelling all his TV ads because he wants to buy ads in Florida and other states. he can't afford it here.
So now is the moment to strike.

Others are starting to catch on to the reality that Ohio is Biden's "best shot" at ending not just the Trump presidency, but the nightmarish plan of a contested race.
Few authors have more informed (and reshaped) my understanding of American history than Isabel Wilkerson.
I had the honor and thrill of hearing her speak the other night, and she shared a story and lesson I will never forget.

I couldn’t take notes as she told it, but I will capture it as best I can, having done a little research to fill it out.
In the early to mid-1900s, millions of Black Americans migrated north, escaping the punishing life and crushing poverty of the Jim Crow south.

As Wilkerson describes, these families were basically defectors: “American citizens [who] had to flee the place of their birth just to be recognized as the citizens they had always been. It was the seeking of political asylum from within the borders of one’s own country.”

According to Strength in Numbers, “search interest for “Cancel Disney+” has hit an all-time high — even higher than the boycott movements from when Disney “went woke” in 2020-2022.

The current Disney boycott is now 4x as large as any over the last 5 years, gauged by search interest.”
And those searches were just the beginning:

And yesterday, we saw the result of that fierce consumer backlash:
A few weeks ago, when discussing the raid of John Bolton’s home, Vance kept describing the investigation with the words “we” and “our.”
It showed that Project 2025’s goal of erasing any independence of the FBI has happened.
And the true danger of that red line…

…being crossed is playing out right now, amid the Kirk investigation.
“We.”
“Our.”
Trump. Vance. Miller. Bondi. Patel.
When it comes to an FBI investigation, they are all now one and the same.

Which of course means that those who have already decided and announced who’s to blame and who should be punished are also the ones overseeing the investigation and, according to Trump yesterday, charges that follow.
