Umm. Isn’t trumpnscreaming like a man child to stop counting votes a symptom of voter suppression? Plus gerrymandering to suppress the minority vote. Plus closing poking stations in minority neighborhoods. All these things happen

I think you forgot putting a sycophant in charge of limiting USPS bandwidth to try and disenfranchise as many late mail in voters as possible? Disobeying a Federal judge's order to find 300,000 known missing mail in ballots?

Now we're going to see a litany of ridiculous lawsuits in an attempt to get counted ballots tossed, because that's about the only way they can win at this point.

Or they could bother counting the 600,000 (is that the right #?) uncounted ballots in AZ. Is it wrong to ask that those be counted for some reason?

Who's saying not to count AZ? Count 'em all, follow the state laws, quit complaining.

That's one of the things Trump is asking for. SO some of his requests are reasonable.

Wanting votes to be counted and you give them an atta'boy? The bar is really that pathetically low.

It's like the second debate "Trump doesn't poop pants, wins debate"

Agreed. But "if" state laws say that observers need to have access (not sure if that's guaranteed by law, I have no idea) and you deny them access ("if" that actually happened; I don't know, and I presume you don't know for sure either), then that's a violation of state law. Right?

Umm, screaming about how votes are counted, isn't even close to voter suppression.

"Plus gerrymandering to suppress the minority vote"

And democrats don't do that when they are in charge of re-districting. Only Republicans. I agree it's disgusting, but how can you claim it's a GOP-only thing?

"All these things happen"

Yes they do, sadly. But what you're ignorant of, is that they happen on both sides.

When the President is habitually lying about voting by mail during a pandemic, that is 100% an attempt to suppress the vote thinking it will gain an advantage.

You don't think voting by mail is necessarily more prone to fraud, than voting in person with an id? It' snot easier to commit fraud with mail-in votes?

I have never seen a single credible report that says it vote by mail fraud is statistically significant anywhere in the US. Not one.

Trump is losing Nevada by 7,500 votes. So I'm not sure your definition of "statistically significant", which would change based on party of sitting president, means much.
