Trump's attacks on mail-in ballots began before a vote had even been cast. He lied about their vulnerability to fraud and tried to limit their use because he knew Democrats were more likely to use them. It has nothing to do with fraud and everything to do with voter suppression.

He tried to hobble the US Postal Service to make it more difficult for postal ballots to be delivered.

He tried to do away with ballot drop-off boxes for the same reason.

He purposefully took advantage of a 'red mirage' to cast doubt on the legitimacy of the election results, even though everyone knew that was how the results were going to come in.

These dumb lawsuits aren't the story. The story is how the president tried and failed to steal an election imo.

I humbly submit these 1,600 words on the Four Seasons Total Landscaping event to the historical record. This is my eyewitness account of a day that will forever live in infamy.

What in the actual...

Is Donald Trump convening the world's press at a small landscaping company on the outskirts of Philadelphia?

I called the Four Seasons Hotel in Philadelphia to check and the press conference really is being held at a landscaping company.

I've spent a good part of the campaign covering the Trump admin's attacks on the integrity of the electoral process, so I'm going to be fact-checking Donald Trump's statement, which is due to start shortly.

Trump says "pollsters knowingly got it wrong." This is obviously not true.

"If you can't the legal votes, I easily win." — This is false. There is no evidence that any illegal votes have been counted.

Vibe check outside the Pennsylvania Convention Centre, where votes are being counted. Hundred or so Count Every Vote people and a handful of Trump supporters in a pen.
