"Be clear: They're actually just trying to steal the election."

The GOP is simultaneously arguing that early ballots can’t be counted early—but also the only valid count is on election night. Be clear: They’re actually just trying to steal the election.

...because they have the SCOTUS votes to impose it on the nation.

It's going to be a whole new country in a few weeks.

Dotard isn’t the only one up for re-election. Ballots can be counted long past election night if need be, and will be.. Even with tonight’s SCOTUS ruling, regarding the ballot count in WI, ballots received by Election Day will be counted.

Are they trying to steal the election...yes.

Here’s what Biden’s senior advisor/attorney had to say

The ballots Counted especially if they are behind.

Think about this ... they would have to go thru every ballot and count all the down ballots races, but not the presidential vote. So, the ballots are invalid, but are valid in the other races...really? If that’s the case, with many states, not all, having already counted mail in ballots, the gop will barely hold any congress or senate seat

The Republicans believe they have no choice. They know that if the Democrats prevail, the GOP's hold on power is gone for the next decade. Of course, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, because I think that there are a majority of Americans who are tired of the GOP's scorched earth policies, and who will not accept the results of the election if it looks even vaguely questionable. I expect that if Trump wins, you will see a general strike, and the protests that will come out of that will shut down the country.

Any Republicans at the lower levels, actually involved with counting the votes, will have lost any appetite for election fraud and will be happy to see that vile man gone so they can start afresh.

That’s my hope anyway.
