The gaslighting by @EWErickson and other non-Trump Republicans is amazing: From day 1 they opposed any call or need for recounts/audits but when we keep showing them how new counts uncover issues, they say “look, the system works.” No, HACKS. You oppose this part of the system.
Non-Trump Conservatives/GOPs the last 2 weeks: “Trump is stupid for wanting recounts, audits and observers.”
[Recounts, audits and observers find issues such as 5,000 new votes in GA; a state with a 14,155 pre-recount margin]
Non-Trump gang: “See? We told you the system works!”
Biden went into the GA recount with a lead of 14,155 votes.
Recounts uncovered more than 5,400 uncounted votes.
The added votes in those counties are anywhere from 0.55% of the local vote total to a nice few percent.
In all cases, it’s well above Biden’s statewide margin.
🔥 🔥 🔥
GA 2020 had 800K less votes than FL 2000, but the GA recount already discovered 5,300 votes and it netted one candidate 1,403 votes.
The FL fight was on 500+ votes.
Gore had 37 days for that mess and 4 SCOTUS Justices wanted to give him more time.
Now is Day 15.

A senior @TeamTrump comms person appeared today on Fox. Instead of giving math/claims why they think Trump can flip back GA, AZ and WI, she spoke about windows being covered in MI during the count as if BOEs have open windows for the public to look at the count. @TeamClowns.
How useless is Trump’s Comms team?
This bad:
Their Director of Comms posted today a 2012 news from the NYT that mail ins have issues. Tim is SO happy with this find that he pinned the tweet.
It’s tough to beat @TimMurtaugh on TV; he is a sharp spox but my focus is the points being made or lack thereof.
The same is with @ErinMPerrine yesterday; a senior press person. @LelandVittert was disrespectful (almost abusive) but her points about PA/MI were off the rails.
“Journalists” decided to ask Senate GOPers if Biden should get intel briefings which is why you see so many comments today from senators on this. By saying yes, those Senators indirectly admit that Biden is POTUS-elect which undercuts Trump which is the goal of the question.
“ Biden should continue getting the same intell briefings that presidential candidates get until the election results are certified” is too complex for Santa GOP’s to say. Instead, they say Biden should get full briefings but they also say that the results are not clear.
Basically, @SenateGOP’s - from @SenatorLankford and @LindseyGrahamSC to @JohnCornyn and @SenJohnThune - are stringing along the GOP/Trump base about the election results hoping that they show up for the GA runoffs, but GOP senators think Trump is kaput which is fine.
You see/know that you are being propagandized yet there is little you can do about it. This - not the outcome itself - is the tough part about the 2020 election.
Major Media ran cover for Biden.
Big Tech choked off Cons.
Big Pharma hid news that Trump wanted 2 weeks ago.
CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC, Politico and NYT would not be all “wow, the claimed vaccine effective rate is much higher than planned and Trump’s Wrapped Speed program worked.” They would “meh” it as they did the GDP report. My point is Big Pharma was another machine that undercut Trump.
Trump was attacked for holding rallies while BLM got a pass. The reasoning was “Trump is political but BLM is for justice.” First, political rallies are aimed to win elections and to affect policy; just as BLM wants to change policy. Second, yesterday rallies was for justice too?
This is just one small link in a looooong chain of media coverage bias that helped Biden while it undercut Trump. And of course, Biden was not asked 5 times weekly to condemn the violence, riots and physical attacks on Trump fans by his own supporters. This is the upside of a Dem
presidency: Major media will give us calm.
People rally during Covid-19 without distancing? Meh.
Riots/violence by Bide fans? Gets weak coverage and sure not much “Mr. president. Do you condemn your supporters” drama. Also back to no scandals no matter how bad the corruption.
