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.
Just when you think you’ve seen it all, something comes along that still stuns you. That happened to me when I read an update from my friends at this Substack:
1/
We’ve watched now for months as Republicans at both the federal and state level attack universities for being too woke, too political, too whatever. (And of late, by the way, we are seeing too many of those institutions cave to extortion and shakedowns.)
2/
But what, pray tell, are these Republicans doing when they take charge of universities?
Well, we have a case study that just keeps getting worse here in Ohio.
Yesterday and today, Trump’s former personal lawyer is meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell.
No doubt trying to win her over and keeping her from further incriminating Trump
1/
But much worse than the fact that his former personal lawyer is having this conversation….is the fact that this man is having this conversation AS a DOJ lawyer.
And part of the conversation is clearly that he is a dangling a formal pardon as leverage in that conversation.
2/
That feels as inappropriate as it gets, doesn’t it?
Well, do you want to know the worst part?
It’s that this is exactly what Justice Roberts’ opinion on presidential immunity guided a lawless president to do if he wanted to get away with an illegal coverup.

You may have heard that Republicans plan to gerrymander both Ohio and Texas in order to gain more seats in the House for the 2026 election.
But have you heard that the only reason they can even do this in Ohio is because the Ohio GOP…
1/
1) violated the Ohio Constitution seven times
2) defied Ohio Supreme Court orders seven times
3) held consecutive elections on maps that, at the time of those elections, violated the Ohio Constitution per the most recent opinion of the highest court in the state
2/
4) altered long-standing rules of judicial elections to convert an independent court into a partisan Court to uphold their illegal maps in future
5) manipulated the ballot for judicial races so that court races now appear at the top of the ballot

It’s easy to see stories and headlines and lose sight of just what’s happening.
So here’s some detail from the ACLU complaint that shows just how bad the LA ICE raids are:
1/
“One of the clearest patterns that have emerged in the raids in Southern California over the past few weeks has been stops and interrogations based on nothing but broad profiles, including on the basis of apparent race and ethnicity”
2/
““The manner in which the foregoing raids have been conducted bears no hallmarks of reasonable suspicion: there are no indicia that agents had any specific articulable facts sufficient to justify a seizure.”
