I have completely figured out the Republican strategy

Why would the Ted Cruz-es & other top Reps call fraud/stealing w many others tip toeing around these claims by saying “count all LEGAL votes” when there’s yet to be evidence of mass fraud & we always count the “legal” votes?
Trump has been calling fraud since early morning Wed. Yet all his suits have been tossed in multiple states over the past 5 days & were never about massive fraud allegations.

Indeed, some of these states/jurisdictions have Republican judges & legislatures to boot, still nothing
These people aren’t stupid, ignorant perhaps, not stupid

Stupid doesn’t graduate from law school, but ignorance can. Stupid does’t climb the manipulative ladder of politics, but ignorant politicians exist

Why put forth these baseless claims in front of millions of angry people?
I tried to understand their incentives

Cruz & co don’t care about Trump/presidency. Whether by happenstance or purpose. Grand scheme or using Don as a useful idiot, I figured it out

For lack of a better analogy, they are trying to kill the baby in the bed. What is that baby?
MAIL-IN BALLOTS

Due to COVID, voting became much easier in all states. If shown successful, mail-ins will become more ubiquitous, allowing MANY more people that probably wouldn’t have voted to vote

They can register from their devices and receive a ballot in the mail. Simple
Reps DO NOT want voting made easier. Rep party is constantly being sued for suppression techniques—gerrymandering, ridiculous signature laws, etc

Also evident by winning 1 popular vote since 88

Between the 2 parties no one confuses which one constantly says—go vote—ad nauseam
When everyone votes in the urban areas they hold the cards and the electoral college bends to the popular vote

That’s b/c many Rep states (GA/TX/AZ) have large populated cities and now they are voting

When urban areas come out to vote they get what they want—2008, 2012, 2020
The slightest blemish on mail-ins will allow states (esp red ones) to use it as a reason to restrict/pull back on this ease with which to vote

This is why Reps regurgitating these baseless claims, risking violence, are hoping anything gets uncovered in Trumps plight. ANYTHING!

Completely nailed this pre election analysis🍾

- 5+ million popular vote loss
- African American turnout put Biden over the top, specifically Philly, D town, and Hotlanta https://twitter.com/chris2pherchase/status/1323477610236706816?s=21
