It’s sad that after debunking lies people would rather continue to believe lies such is their commitment to escapism and cowardice to face reality.

Tis the way of the modern world, there are plenty of fantasist websites so that these people never get into the real world, too busy reading rubbish which confirms their beliefs
'The real world' is an interesting point. Most people are stuck in echo chambers and those lead to bigger echo chambers. Of all sides, I'm not pointing fingers. If you have 2 'sides' to an argument, both will categorically say the opposing view is rubbish. I'm always up for being wrong because I believe humans are probably wrong at least 50% of the time. That applies to everyone, despite your belief that your education or your ego says differently and these days, those are more closely linked than ever, much to detriment of society. Being wrong and accepting you are wrong is a fairly decent ability to have. If you can't, you are toast.

During the Bush/ Gore pantomime of 2000, is it true that the Bush legal team lost every case before it landed in front of the Supreme Court?

No.
Bush won the initial count, won after the partial recount, got the Supreme court to stop another recount, got the courts to push the case up to higher courts, etc..

I remember Kathryn Harris in Florida, being portrayed by the liberal press as the wicked witch. And that's about it.

Talking with a business tenant today, she said she received 9 ballots and one of her employees received 5 ballots.
So if this sort of thing happend across the country..................no wonder the people are pee'd.

It obviously didn't though, did it? There was a total of 150-odd million votes cast, and a voter population of 240-odd million. If what you describe was widespread, there would be a lot higher voter percentage.

Not if most folk did the honest thing and never returned them. But it does seem some folk received an opportunity to vote more than once. Has a bit of a murky look about it. .
Well I saw something today complaining that there were about 700,000 more mail in ballots in Philli than were sent out. Mostly for Biden. I'll see if I can find it.

I've read a few similar, and I think it's related to certain states allowing people to register on the day of the election. The one thing that stood out to me about the Gore/Bush court case was that all voters should be treated equally, and yet 20 years on they still haven't got anything approaching consistency.

Definitely murky, but was it widespread and along party lines? I'm not sure. @Roger Perry - who were your friends voting for/ register with? I think you said your area was very very red.

RP is I think in Rio Grande county - voted 58% Trump (3660 votes) 40% Biden (2495 votes) according to Time magazine. RP will correct me if wring. But I watched some of the Arizona hearing Monday evening - and have listened to a few other bits. Does seem scope for murkiness.

Unless his friends multi-voted for Trump, of course - maybe Biden should have won there as well.

Yes USA under Trump has lowered all its standards.
Joe Biden will reform & improve all aspects of life, ably assisted by Ms Harries.
A "miltary coup" led by Trump would have finished the US off & left it a third world country. Not that the miltary would follow an illegal coup anyway.

Looking forward to my life improving..................perhaps you could explain how this will be achieved so that I can sort of be ready.
