The tell here that this is a shady enterprise is the absurd idea that Trump would have won the 'urban' vote.
from Vanity Fair:
Spicer, in his comments to the press, appeared to narrow the scope of the investigation even more, suggesting that the bulk of alleged voter fraud may have occurred in California and New Yorktwo overwhelmingly Democratic states that have not voted for a Republican presidential candidate since the 1980s.
We didnt look at those two states in particular, said Spicer. As the president has noted before, he campaigned to win the Electoral College, not the popular vote, Spicer said, apparently by way of explanation. You would have campaigned more in California, which he didnt; you would have campaigned more in New York, which he didnt. There are big states, very populous states and urban areas where you would have spent more time campaigning, but he played the game according to the rules of the game, which is the electoral strategy.
Spicer continued: That being said, I think when you look at where a lot of the potential issues could have occurred, in these bigger states, I think thats where were going to look.

(54,448 posts)do that because it will expose how Interstate Crosscheck purged thousands of AAs and other POCs off the voting rolls which helped trump "win".
Don't see how Spicer, Conway, et al, face themselves in the mirror.
They know trump is an out-of-contol, lying maniac yet they keep pushing his delusional agenda.
That can drive one to drink. I think Spicer is already on the edge.
Conway has no conscience whatever though IMO. She's just a cynical gun for hire and will do and spin anything for the paycheck.

same w philly.
lets count up all the provisional ballots. those are the paper trail of voter suppression. why didnt they get a ballot? whether they got counted or not, this is a voter who was blocked at the polls. of course they did this in urban areas.
they arent gonna find their "lost votes", they are gonna find ours.
so, yeah, bring it.
