This string of lies, falsehoods, and outlandish conspiracy theories is untethered to reality.

The campaign and its allies have had dozens of opportunities to present evidence and make these claims in court. They didn’t, and they lost — the election and the lawsuits.
The continued attacks on Philadelphia and other major cities simply don’t make sense if you’re looking at the actual numbers.

(Of course, the attacks might be based on some other characteristics of those cities.)

Biden kinda underperformed in Philly: inquirer.com/politics/elect…
The suburbs, not Philly, were the big key to Biden’s victory in Pennsylvania.

Forget the conspiracy theories. Joe Biden won Pennsylvania. He beat Donald Trump.

Forget the attacks on Philly. Here’s actually how Biden won PA:

Pennsylvania’s 20 electors are meeting now in Harrisburg, as Joe Biden officially defeats Donald Trump in the Electoral College.

In PA and some other states Biden won, Republicans also gathered today to cast their own, separate Electoral College votes.

The @PAGOP put out this release on the GOP electors meeting “to cast a conditional vote” for Trump:

Confused? I was. Talked to a few experts, and here’s my basic takeaway:

This might change some of the road to get there, but the result is basically unchanged: Congress will meet Jan. 6, receive the Electoral College votes, and Joe Biden will be inaugurated as president Jan. 20.

Pennsylvania Republican lawmakers, including House Speaker Bryan Cutler and House Majority Leader Kerry Benninghoff, have sent a letter to the state’s congressional delegation urging them to object to PA’s Electoral College votes on Jan. 6.

PA GOP lawmakers: “3 U.S.C. §15, empowers Congress to reject electoral votes that are not ‘regularly given’ or ‘lawfully certified.’ The aforementioned conduct has undermined the lawful certification of Pennsylvania’s delegation to the Electoral College.”
The PA GOP lawmakers also sent a letter calling on @JoshShapiroPA “to appoint an independent prosecutor to review these election irregularities, to ensure the statutes governing our elections were not violated, and to make recommendations to [legislature]”

The PA Supreme Court dismisses the case brought by U.S. Rep. Mike Kelly that sought to overturn last year’s law creating no-excuse mail voting and to throw out those mail ballots cast in this election.

This is the case the Commonwealth Court had earlier blocked certification in. Screenshot of the order, which I believe will soon be availa

Rudy Giuliani made this absolutely absurd, untrue claim about PA mailing out 1.8M ballots but counting 2.5M, and now people really believe it and think there’s obvious fraud being ignored.

Hard to know the right way to fight back against this stuff sometimes. Sigh. Screenshot of email that reads as follows: “Is one of you
And @greenburg_jeff nails it:

The exact numbers being cited — 1,823,148 mail ballots sent and 1,462,403 returned — are from the PRIMARY election in June.

Specifically, they are from this dataset: data.pa.gov/Government-Eff…

A few thoughts from watching this clip President Donald Trump RTd of Lewandowski talking about vote-counting in Philly.
“They had an armed guard that stopped us first, they had magnetometers, and they had uniformed police officers who threatened to arrest us if we went in.”

Sounds like a high level of security around the ballot-counting process.
“I presented that order to both the chairman of the board of elections”

The chair, Lisa Deeley, is a woman. Her deputy says Lewandowski “never spoke to Lisa.”

One think that’s so striking to me about the way this has played out in PA (dayslong count, strong blue shift) is it was so predictable.

I mean, we predicted it. Repeatedly. It shouldn’t catch us off guard.

It’s the direct outcome of the electoral system and clear set of facts.
In January, we warned it could take days to call the election.

Why? It’s the first year all PA voters could vote by mail. That meant there would be a lot of ballots.

At the time, counties couldn’t open ballots before 8 p.m. Election Day.

The secretary of state disagreed. She said it wouldn’t be a problem bc counties would count mail ballots after polls close and before the first in-person results come in.

This was before the pandemic surged demand for mail ballots. In March, it was changed from 8 p.m. to 7 a.m.
