Over 70% of Republicans Believe That Trump Was Cheated Out of The Election but Americans Agree that Violence is Not the Answer, New Survey From Cloudresearch.com
Over 70% of Republicans Believe That Trump Was Cheated Out Of The Election



Nov. 8 - 60.5% of Republicans believe the election was stolen, according to an online poll of 800 adults fielded by CloudResearch.com a few hours before the election was called for Biden. When asked whether “The 2020 Presidential election was stolen”, 60.5% of Republicans agreed, compared to just 5% of Democrats and 29% of Independents. When asked whether “President Trump is being cheated out of winning the election”, 72% of Republicans agreed, compared to 5% of Democrats and 31% of Independents. While 77.5% of Democrats believe that no credible evidence of voter fraud in the presidential election has been presented, only 24% of Republicans agree.

When asked whether they “have full faith that the legal system would discover if there was fraud that impacted the election,” a consistent 59 percent of Republicans, 61 percent of Democrats, and 54 percent of Independents were in agreement.     source

Mr. Giuliani said “networks don’t get to decide elections” and vowed legal challenges to the vote count.

BREAKING: Joe Biden Elected 46th President of the United States, Decision Desk HQ Projects

By Aidan McLaughlinNov 6th, 2020, 9:01 am ET

Nov 7 (Taipei Time 9:00 am) - 
Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election on Friday, according to a projection by election data company Decision Desk HQ which called the state of Pennsylvania for the Democratic candidate, capping off an election that dragged on for two nail-biting days as key battleground states counted votes.

The former vice president is now on track — with a few legal challenges mounted by the Trump campaign in his way — to become the 46th president of the United States. He beat incumbent President Donald Trump thanks to battleground states like Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania that Hillary Clinton lost in 2016.

Trump held on Florida, set to expand his share of the vote in the Sunshine State. But his performance in the Rust Belt was not enough to hold on to the presidency, and a projected loss in Arizona infuriated his campaign — but Pennsylvania ultimately sealed its fate.

That loss in Arizona was first projected by Fox News, the president’s favorite network. While many of the network’s opinion hosts are pro-Trump, its highly-regarded “decision desk,” which calls presidential races, is nonpartisan. And it was the first operation to call Arizona for Biden, on Tuesday night before a sizable chunk of votes had been counted. That decision sparked outrage from the Trump campaign, which has repeatedly attacked Fox News in public comments since the network made the call.

Despite the projected victory for Biden, team Trump is certain to challenge the results of the 2020 election. His campaign has launched a barrage of lawsuits aimed at invalidating the ballots of his opponent. The flurry of legal challenges has been met with skepticism and is not expected to change the results of the election.     source

Joe Biden will address the nation TONIGHT as he closes in on victories in Nevada, Arizona and overtakes Trump in Pennsylvania and Georgia - where a RECOUNT is called - but the President warns him not to 'wrongfully claim' the White House

Nov. 7 - Joe Biden will address the nation in primetime Friday, his campaign confirmed – pointing to their overwhelming confidence he is about to win the presidential election.


The speech will be delivered regardless of whether the election has been called in his favor, which now appears certain to be either Friday or over the weekend.

As it stands, Biden has 253 electoral college votes. He needs 270 to win which is realistic in two ways. If he wins Pennsylvania, he gains 20 votes and no longer needs either Arizona or Nevada. But if he wins Arizona - which has 11 electoral college votes - and Nevada - which has 6 - he no longer needs Pennsylvania.
 
Biden's lead in Pennsylvania was over 14,500 when Trump tweeted; just under 44,000 in Arizona although apparently falling rather than rising; up 20,000 in Nevada and ahead but set for a recount in Georgia.      continue to read

Now Trump files Georgia lawsuit over late ballots after suing in PA and NV to stop the count as Biden wins Michigan and Wisconsin and moves to 264 electoral college votes saying he 'is confident of the White House'

Nov. 5 - Democrat Joe Biden edged closer to a potential upset in Georgia - and to a White House win - coming within 1 point of President Donald Trump in the traditionally red state Wednesday night.


As the race narrowed, Trump's campaign announced that they had filed a lawsuit in the state, alleging that a GOP poll observer witnessed 53 late absentee ballots added to a pile in Chatham County, where Savannah – a Democratic-leaning urban center - is located.

'We will not allow Democrat election officials to steal this election from President Trump with late, illegal ballots,' Deputy Campaign Manager Justin Clark said.        continue to read

Asked by reporters Tuesday whether he had prepared alternate versions of speeches in preparation for the results of the election, Trump replied that he was “not thinking about [a] concession speech or acceptance speech yet.”

“Hopefully, we’ll be only doing one of those two,” he said. “And, you know, winning is easy. Losing is never easy. Not for me, it’s not.”     continue to read

Nov. 1 - Joe Biden on Sunday urged Philadelphians to surge to the polls and fight “voter suppression," even as President Donald Trump signaled plans to attack a legitimate vote count expected to extend past Election Day.


“Every day is a new reminder of how high the stakes are, how far the other side will go to try to suppress the turnout, especially here in Philadelphia,” Biden said before about 50 cars filled with supporters at Sharon Baptist Church in the city’s Wynnefield Heights section. “There’s too much on the line to sit it out.”

Later, at FDR Park in South Philadelphia, Biden said, “Every generation has to fight to keep the democracy. I never believed we’d have to fight this hard though.”     continue to read

EXCLUSIVE: National security nightmare of Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop containing phone numbers for the Clintons, Secret Service officers and most of the Obama cabinet plus his sex and drug addictions - all secured by the password Hunter02

Nov. 11 - The son of the man expected by many to be America's next President abandoned a laptop containing a treasure trove of top-secret material, including his father's private emails and mobile phone numbers, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

In an astonishing lapse, Hunter Biden chose to protect his MacBook Pro computer – crammed with what an IT expert last night described as a 'national security nightmare' and 'classic blackmail material' – with a single, simple password: Hunter02.


Remarkably, the 50-year-old businessman and self-confessed drug addict took the machine to a back-street IT store in Delaware in April 2019 to get it repaired – yet never returned to collect it.

Its existence was revealed by the New York Post last month, but the staggering scale and sensitivity of its contents – easily accessible to a hacker with a modicum of skill – is only revealed for the first time today.     continue to read
