As the president's family is going to twitter, making arguments on social media that no competent lawyer would make in court, and spreading conspiracy theories, I think it's important to note some important facts: /1
Observers from the Trump campaign and Republicans have been in every urban vote counting center, and most of those centers are live-streaming their process, 24 hours a day. /2
While the president seeks to stop counting in PA and GA (where he's now losing), he's been actively seeking to have more MAIL ballots counted in NV and AZ. /3
The election officials in the close states are both Republicans and Democrats. GA and NV have GOP secretaries of state, and there are Republican election officials in places like Philadelphia. /4
As the president and his family slander election officials in places like Philadelphia, it's important to note that Trump is actually OVERPERFORMING in Philly in 2020, compared to 2016, with nearly 20K more votes and a higher % of the vote (18% in 2020, 15% in 2016). /5
VP Biden is winning WI by about the same margin as Trump won the state in 2016. Biden's margin in MI is much larger than Trump's 2016 margin, and it's likely that Biden's margin in PA will also be larger. /6
Republicans had an incredibly successful election, holding the Senate against all odds, picking up seats in the House, and winning state legislatures. The president is throwing his own party's successes under the bus by raising false claims of fraud. /7
This election has been one of the most fair, transparent, and smoothly-run elections in American history. Amazingly, during a pandemic. No amount of conspiracy-mongering can change that. It's a testament to election off'ls of both parties. Trust the results. /END
