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.
JD Vance flies to Indiana.
In the wide open, he and other federal officials pressure state leaders to rig Indiana’s map to help seal House elections outcome 15 months in advance.

Specifically, by giving themselves two extra seats in the House, and eliminating all Democratic seats in the Hoosier State.
2/
In one twisted way, JD’s visit and open pressuring of state officials to hand him those House seats is helpful.
Because it makes perfectly clear that we are watching November 2020-January 2021 all over again—Trump’s just doing it before the 2026 elections rather than after.

A brand new poll shows that, at + 10, @amyactonoh has the highest job approval rating in the state.
By a lot.
2/
Combine that with the fact that Vivek Ramaswamy has unusually high negatives (basically accomplishing this all on his own 👀) and this race for Governor is tied even in a sample that decisively voted for Trump.
Thank you to those Texas Democrats taking their courageous stand, and thank you to those supporting them in Texas and beyond. Standing up to the anti-democratic tactics of Trump and state leaders

like Abbott is absolutely critical at the moment.
In fact, there is no choice.
As a matter of strategic action, and as a matter of message.
In fact, if our actions don’t match our words, we lose!

For good and for bad, we project powerful messages way beyond the words we use. Drew Westen calls it our “meta-message”— what we communicate from our action or inaction, and the urgency with which we act.
