'Nonsense': The Wall Street Journal debunks 'stolen' election story in takedown of Trump's 'delusion'

The sorry sack o s--- and his minions are still trying to sell the "stolen election" b.s. Trump and his MAGA hoard are sore losers and even sorer winners.

Get a life why dontcha.

'Nonsense': The Wall Street Journal debunks 'stolen' election story in takedown of Trump's 'delusion' - Mediaite via MSN

Earlier this month, an attorney representing Georgia’s Fulton County admitted that election workers failed to sign tabulator tapes back in 2020. The admission went viral online, with many members of the MAGA faithful claiming that it proved that Trump was right to claim that the state’s electoral votes — and perhaps even the presidency — was stolen from him.

But the Journal categorically rejected that framing.

“The refrain on the right is that the unsigned tapes somehow prove Mr. Trump has been correct about the election all along. Yet Georgia’s ballots in 2020 were counted three times, twice by scanner and once by hand, five million of them,” ‘In 73% of Georgia’s 159 counties, the margin of the hand count varied from the original by 10 voters or fewer,’ these pages reported at the time. ‘In a quarter of counties, the two numbers exactly matched.’ In other words, the hand tally validated the machine count,” it reminded readers.

And while the influential center-right newspaper’s editorial board called the mistake a “problem,” it argued that “an error by poll workers isn’t a reason to throw out tens or hundreds of thousands of ballots cast by Georgians who did nothing wrong.”

Yes, they do it to deflect from Trump’s crimes, corruption, and failures – to get his opponents angry and riled up.

This thread demonstrates it's working.

that includes signing everything.

there are also several people involved, many of them clerk of court level experienced in these matters.

there is no excuse for irregular paperwork, and it should engender questions, which seem to be answered.

Team Trump and Republicans have tried to suppress the vote, even undermine and overturn the vote, in Georgia, North Carolina, and elsewhere, via multiple manipulations and a myriad of laws designed to enable literally ANYONE to challenge another voter's registration on the basis of little or nothing.

Funny how some seem to forget all of that while dismissing, even rationalizing maga hype.

Explains a lot, I think.
