Buncha bulls**t right here. Trump KNEW the e******n wasn't stolen from him? PROVE that!!
I know it was stolen. In my heart, I KNOW it was.
You can believe the state owned media, and the power players all you want, but it's pretty obvious to me.
Now, we're FKD.
It's not bulls**t Arch. The Big Lie is what is bulls**t. How you people can still have such dense blinders on at this late date is beyond me.
I urge you all to read the document in the link below. This is an in depth analysis of the claim the e******n was s****n. It goes over every single court case and just about every single one of the hundreds of false claims and conspiracy theories that all you people here on opp like to bring up as their "proof" of the e******n being stolen, and if proves them all wrong and actually explains why Trump lost. It has in depth sections on what happened in each of the states that caused his loss, and the bottom line was Trump lost because he is Trump and more people were sick and tired of his drama and bulls**t than were still enamored with him. J****** 6 was sadly the last desperate act of Trump to stay in power when all other options had been exhausted.
This report was compiled and written by a group of very well known and highly thought of conservation judges, lawyers and senators, all of whom are long term conservative republicans.
If you can't see the light after a thorough review of this document then there simply is no help for you.

"Our conclusion is unequivocal: Joe Biden was the
choice of a majority of the E*****rs, who themselves were the choice of the majority of v**ers in
their states. Biden’s victory is easily explained by a political landscape that was much different in
2020 than it was when President Trump narrowly won the presidency in 2016. President Trump
waged his campaign for re-e******n during a devastating worldwide p******c that caused a
severe downturn in the global economy. This, coupled with an e*****rate that included a small
but statistically significant number willing to v**e for other Republican candidates on the b****t
but not for President Trump, are the reasons his campaign fell short, not a f********t e******n.
In the past 30 years, those tasked with administering our e******ns have helped create a
modern e******n system in which we can and should have confidence. In all fifty states and at the
national level there are t***sparent recount and e******n contest procedures designed to allow
candidates to investigate and litigate claims of v***r f***d and corruption. Those procedures have
been tested in every p**********l e******n since at least 2000 and have been found in every
instance to be sound and reliable. The Trump Campaign and its supporters had full access to
these remedies and used them in 64 proceedings in the states we examine, and in each instance,
their claims of fraud and miscount failed. Our review of each of these Trump charges affirms that
the 2020 e******n was administered by trained professionals who reaffirmed their established
track record for fairness.
As part of his post-e******n attempts to retain the presidency, Donald Trump and his
supporters filed 64 cases containing 187 counts in the six key battleground states, in addition to
utilizing some of the recount and contest procedures available to them under state law. The
former president maintains to this day that the 2020 e******n was s****n and the results
fraudulent.
Fraud, irregularities, and procedural deficiencies formed the basis for challenging the results
in five of the six highly contested E*******l College battleground states of Arizona (page 7),
Georgia (page 27), Michigan (page 36), Nevada (page 47), and Wisconsin (page 64). In
Pennsylvania (page 53), Trump verbally attacked the e******ns as fraudulent, but his lawyers
never filed such charges in court.
Of the 64 cases brought by Trump and his supporters, twenty were dismissed before a
hearing on the merits, fourteen were voluntarily dismissed by Trump and his supporters before a
hearing on the merits, and 30 cases included a hearing on the merits. Only in one Pennsylvania
case involving far too few v**es to overturn the results did Trump and his supporters prevail.
In our system of government, these cases provided the forums in which Trump and his
supporters could and should have proven their claims. This Report shows that those efforts failed
because of a lack of evidence and not because of erroneous rulings or unfair judges. Judges,
legislators, and other e******n officers, often including members of his own party, gave Trump
ample time and every opportunity to present evidence to make his case. Post-e******n audits or
reviews in each state also failed to show any irregularities or fraud that would overturn the
e*******l results. In many cases, after making extravagant claims of wrongdoing, Trump’s legal
representatives showed up in court or state proceedings empty-handed, and then returned to their
rallies and media campaigns to repeat the same unsupported claims.
After reviewing the evidence presented in each court case and the post-e******n reviews with
this lens, certain patterns emerge. Most obvious is that the former president’s rhetoric—before,
during and after the e******n—was not supported by the legal cases he tried to make or any
evidence he introduced. Cases and reviews in the six battleground states included similar charges
and similar dismissals by federal and state courts.
Post-e******n reviews and audits: In addition to the numerous legal cases, the six states
conducted post-e******n reviews at the insistence of or because of the Trump allegations. This
Report discusses those efforts, which also failed to support the allegations from Trump and his
supporters:
Arizona: Cyber Ninjas review, pages 7–10, 16.
Georgia: The Secretary of State manually recounted all five million b****ts cast (page 27)
and conducted a post-e******n audit.
Michigan: Separate post-e******n investigations by a Michigan State Senate committee
chaired by Republican Ed McBloom, pages 36–40, and Michigan’s Office of the Auditor
General, pages 36, 37.
Nevada: Republican Secretary of State investigations of v****g complaints, page 47.
Pennsylvania: A statewide risk-limiting audit in February 2021, page 54. Republican state
senators pursued a forensic audit that has yielded no evidence to date, page 54.
Wisconsin: The Wisconsin Legislative Audit Bureau, a non-partisan, independent body,
found no evidence of widespread fraud to alter the e******n results, page 64. The
conservative Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty likewise found no evidence of
widespread v***r f***d and no evidence of significant problems with v****g machines,
page 64. Wisconsin House Republicans hired a former state Supreme Court justice to
examine the e******n; an interim report cited no evidence of fraudulent v**es sufficient to
overturn the results, page 65.
As this Report notes, in five of the six battleground states, analyses have shown that Trump
lost not because of fraud but because a small but significant subset of Republican v**ers
supported the GOP’s candidates down-b****t but did not v**e for Trump. In many instances,
Republican candidates other than T***p w*n despite being subject to the same alleged
fraudulent systems that Trump supporters declaim. See pages 7, 27, 36, 53, and 64.
Arizona
Donald Trump and his supporters brought eight cases with 29 total counts challenging the
results showing he lost Arizona. All were unsuccessful. Subsequently, an Arizona State Senate
post-e******n review conducted by the firm Cyber Ninjas (a private firm hand-picked by the
Trump forces) provided Donald Trump and his supporters every opportunity to demonstrate the
fraud and irregularities they claimed but could not prove in post-e******n legal challenges. The
Cyber Ninjas’ final analysis reaffirmed Trump’s loss, claiming 99 additional v**es for Biden and
261 fewer v**es for Trump.
Biden outperformed Clinton’s 2016 results, and Trump performed worse than he had in 2016.
President Biden carried Arizona by a margin of 10,457 v**es out of 3.4 million cast in the 2020
P**********l E******n, official results from Arizona e******ns officials show.5 Biden received
49.4% of the v**e.6 Trump received 49.0%.7 In 2016, Trump carried Arizona by a margin of
approximately 91,000 v**es out of almost 2,605,000 v**es cast.8 Trump received 48.1% of the
v**e in 2016.9 Hillary Clinton received 44.6%.10 Disaffection for Trump among Republican
v**ers led to ticket-splitting that hurt Trump and helped Biden. Nearly 60,000 v**ers did not
v**e for Trump even though they v**ed Republican down-b****t; of these, 39,000 v**ed for
Biden. Considering only the two most populous counties in the state, more than 74,000
disaffected Republicans did not v**e for Trump in 2020; 65% of these (48,577 v**es) v**ed for
Biden; those 48,577 v**es alone represent 4.6 times Biden’s margin of victory over Trump.
Michigan
Donald Trump’s supporters brought nine cases with 31 counts challenging the results in
Michigan. They were not successful in any of those actions. A Michigan State Senate committee
chaired by a Republican Senator examined the charges of fraud and irregularities made by Trump
and his supporters and found none of them meritorious. Michigan’s Office of the Auditor
General, whose head was appointed by the Republican-led legislature, issued a report March 4,
2022, rebutting a principal charge of Trump and his supporters: that a significant number of
fraudulent v**es were cast on behalf of dead people in the state’s 2020 P**********l E******n.
According to Michigan e******n officials who certified the results, President Biden carried
Michigan by a margin of 154,188 v**es out of 5.5 million cast. Biden received 50.6% of the
v**e and Trump received 47.8%. In 2016, Trump carried Michigan by a margin of 10,700
v**es out of roughly five million cast. Trump received 47.3% of the v**e. Clinton received
47.0%.
Biden’s victory is attributed to gains in suburban counties, especially those in Detroit
suburbs, as well as strength in urban cores and small metropolitan areas. Trump increased his
share of v**es in 63 of the state’s 83 counties, winning 73 counties; but T***p w*n fewer
counties than the 75 he took in 2016, and the counties he did win are sparse in population. In
addition, support for third-party candidates dwindled from 5% of the v**e in 2016 to just 1.5% in
2020.
Nevada
Donald Trump or his supporters brought ten cases with 28 counts challenging the results in
Nevada. Despite one of his key supporters claiming that in Nevada “we have thousands and
thousands of examples of real people in real-life instances of v**er illegality” and that Nevada
was “the big treasure trove of illegal b****ting in all of ” the states Trump contested,185 as detailed
below, Trump and his supporters were unsuccessful in proving fraud or irregularities sufficient to
overturn the e******n results in any court or investigation.
According to Nevada e******n officials who certified the results, President Biden carried
Nevada by a margin of 33,596 v**es over Trump, out of nearly 1.4 million v**es cast. Biden
received 50.1% of the v**e. Trump received 47.7% of the v**e. In 2016, Clinton carried
Nevada by a margin of 27,202 v**es out of approximately 1.125 million v**es cast, receiving
47.9% of the v**e to Trump’s 45.5%. Biden’s win in Nevada, like Clinton’s, is attributable to a reliable base of Democrats in southern Nevada. He performed far better with Latina women than Latino men and
outperformed Trump with independents.
The Nevada Secretary of State, a Republican, conducted numerous investigations of the
e******n results, based on nearly 300 e******n complaints submitted by Trump and his supporters
between September 2020 and March 2021. Those investigations repeatedly confirmed the
integrity of the e******n, finding no allegations of e******n misconduct that would have any
impact on the e******n results. In December 2020, the Secretary of State announced that her
office had uncovered evidence of several isolated cases of possible v***r f***d but had not
uncovered evidence of any large-scale fraud that would affect the outcome of the p**********l
e******n.
Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania was one of two states whose E*****rs were formally challenged during the joint
session of Congress on J****** 6, 2021, and was also the focus of a number of lawsuits and
public claims. Donald Trump and his supporters brought nineteen cases with over 45 counts
challenging the results showing that he lost Pennsylvania. Putting aside the claims challenging,
wholesale and without evidence, millions of b****ts cast, the number of v**es challenged was
significantly smaller than Joe Biden’s official margin of victory; thus, even if every challenge
were meritorious, this would not have been enough to produce a different outcome. No lawsuits
brought by the Trump Campaign or its supporters focused directly on v***r f***d and, in many
instances, as described below, plaintiffs acknowledged their challenges were not the product of
or even a signpost for fraud. An Associated Press survey of county e******ns officials in 2021
found just 26 potential cases of v***r f***d in the 2020 e******n, representing 0.03% of Biden’s
margin of victory.
According to Pennsylvania e******n officials who certified the results, President Biden
carried Pennsylvania by a margin of 80,555 v**es out of 6.9 million cast. Biden received 50% of
the v**e. Trump received 48.8%. In 2016, President Trump carried Pennsylvania by a margin
of 44,292 v**es out of more than six million cast.212 Trump received 48.2% of the v**e. Clinton
received 47.5%.
And there is lots more, every charge in every state has been examined and the reason the case was lost or thrown out is listed, and pretty much all of them were lost because there simply was no evidence of any type of fraud that would have been significant enough to change the outcome. Trumps own legal team withdrew nearly a quarter of the cases they brought!
So come on people, enlighten yourself & come in from the dark. Trump's big lie is just that, a Big Lie and all the proof you need is right here for all to see!
