The most shocking thing is that Trump is likely to win the popular vote by almost as much as Biden did last time. It's not even possible to argue that most Americans still reject him.
oscar Wilde, brilliant though he was, would not poll well in maga counties. But his words still relevant.
trump would have won regardless. But there need to be protocols in place for same day attempts at election interference akin to the bomb threats in Georgia.
someone else said, peculiar how there are no questions about vote totals from republicans…it really is like voter fraud yelling is a reliable barometer for how well the democratic candidate is doing.

What we don't (yet) know -how many people who would have voted Democrat never voted, because the polling station was closed, because they were purged from the roll, or denied in some other way.
What happens now to the court cases?

The court cases againist Donald Trump will more than likely get thrown out.

I'm going to say none, if any. Everybody who wanted to vote Democrat had the chance to do so.

Yeah, that giant elite conspiracy somehow fizzled out this time. So much for the voting machines that could be manipulated, or whatever.

The combined margin in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin is over 240,000, so it would need to be more than that to make a difference.

Fair point, and I think if there were serious issues they would have been aired by now. Thus the people like Trump who were shrieking 'cheat' throughout the campaign, have yet again be shown to be shrieking about nothing.

Re: 2024 USA Election: Wishin' and Hopin'
The thing that concerns me the most is how on earth could Liberal media completely miss the stance of the American people? (Regardless of how ugly).
So people that only followed Liberal news media outlets were hugely disappointed today because they weren't told the ugly truth about where Americans stand.
Lesson learned: Paint the true picture, no matter how ugly it is.
