Mike Johnson on Trump calling for Rs to "nationalize" elections: "We had 3 Republicans who were ahead on election day in last cycle & every time a new tranche of ballots came in they just magically whittled away until their leads were lost. It looks on its face to be fraudulent. Can I prove it? No"

I'm glad he is being pressed because he is forced to expose who he is. At this point we see him. He won't accept a fundamental rule of the game - respect fair and free elections. He lies shamelessly about proven facts. He pretends he sees nothing. What else is there to say at this point?

Sounds to me like they counted districts favorable to then first in those cases but then others came in but what do I know

"I mean, history as well as Democrat voter demographics show that more of them vote with mail-in ballots... But how could this be?!"

They often tally mail-in ballots later Most mail-ins are done by Dems Because PedoFelonPiggy Admonished cult Not to vote that way Addition in any order Yields same results No moron left behind Exemplified OVER+OVER+OVER He preaches it His hypnotized lobotomized inbred Sycophants = SCARY STUPID

In my city, the early left-leaning votes drop first and then get whittled away as the leans-conservative Election Day precinct totals are added, so I guess that means the Republicans are cheating 🙄 Oh wait, it’s only fraud when Dems win. I forgot.

The polls for her did drop once the "email scandal" hit the airwaves. Until that point, she was polling ahead, so it does appear to have influenced results (how much I don't know). But it also shows the double standard. Many Trump voters don't care about scandals as long as it's their guy doing it.

I got one for ya, Mikey. How about a candidate who gets close to 3 million more votes than her opponent, but the office still goes to a pedophile Russian-asset con man???

And it happens EVERY ELECTION and sometimes it’s more R votes coming in from conservative strongholds, but we’re supposed to accept they were all born yesterday? Yeah right

It’s a song they have been singing since 1994 after Bill Clinton passed the National Voter Registration Act of 1993. Insist without evidence that immigrants are voting, with no proof whatsoever, and their base believes it. They continue to resurrect the song every time they lose big.

Dangerous, disingenuous, liars, grifters, bootlickers, soulless, seditious, treasonous, traitorous, racist, sexist, white supremacists, insecure, stupid, cruel, capricious cultists all carrying water for the worst people in the world. Does that about cover it?

That's how elections work you moron. Candidates make their pitch. Electors vote. Votes get counted. Totals change right up until the last vote is counted. Your guy doesn't always win.

They don't have any proof of their God but they spend every day trying to convince the rest of us that we must act in ways that they believe their imaginary God would approve of except the thousands of times their own Bible says we should all help the poor, disabled and less fortunate among us.

“The yes-men said we’d win! 😭 We bought our candidates and everything! 😭😭😭 I don’t know what happened!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭” So sorry you don’t fully grasp the consequences of ripping at the Constitution every damn day!!

You’re damn right! When people see Republicans on ballots (I suspect) and see the treasonous and possible child offenders running corporations and our government, maybe a current release of information would change their minds; just like Trump carrying out some shit campaign somewhere in the world.

California is the FORTH LARGEST ECONOMY IN THE WORLD. Maybe some of the failing Red States like Louisiana, for example, could learn something from successful California. The early gain, then losses by undesirable Republican candidates is an artifact of Red States ballot counting process.

Over an hour already of unbelievable bs and I haven’t seen a response from any dem leadership explaining what the constitution says. Hopefully it’s something I missed

Tell me you don’t know how vote counting works without saying that you don’t understand vote counting. When you’re tallying votes, who is leading can change because the totals don’t come in all at once. And the precincts and early voting/Election Day results are not homogeneous. It’s basic math.

He's a Constitutional Lawyer he often says & Lawschool Dean supposedly that doesn't have a Bank Account 🤔 You think he'd know the LAWs

It’s called counting, Mikey. Also, maybe you should investigate WHY most states wait to count early voting/mail-in ballots until after the polls are closed. Hint: Your own party always insisted on it!

On the contrary, it’s not a lie, as more precincts reported any leads evaporated and they got further and further behind. What is disingenuous is the reason, but he’s tap dancing line fucking Savion Glover.

It’s how the precincts report. Largest areas have the most ballots to count. Longest waits are usually in the poorest and most disenfranchised areas. Guess how those areas vote? A lot of it was mail in ballots, that’s why Trump hates them.

Aftyn Behn was ahead in TN District 7 as votes came in from the Nashville area then as rural counties were counted & reported, she lost overall. Shouldn’t Mike Johnson know how elections work by now? Maybe he’s in the wrong job.

What looks fraudulent? Is he saying that no more votes should be counted once a Republican has a lead? It’s not fraud just because you lost.And, as always, shocking that he’s able to even comment on the issue since he’s repeatedly claimed to be completely ignorant of the world around him.

Trump told his voters not to use mail-in voting explicitly, and then they complain that they lose the mail-in vote, which is counted later.

Don't laugh because that's have been the argument for the MAGA base since 2020. "How come Trump lost if Fox told me he was extremely popular? Must be those damn treacherous dems with their fraud"

Given how a lot of early voters skew toward Democrats (depending on the location, of course), maybe we should just quit counting as soon as those early votes are counted and just throw away the rest.

i think we americans need to make it clear that if you are a republican senator or congressperson who still supports trump, we will assume you are a ped0phile.

Simple solution: Count all mail-in ballots the day before the election. On election day, when the polls close, the first thing reported is the mail-in ballots counted the day before. Then report precincts as they come in and mail-in ballots that arrived the day of the election.

If Trump federalizes elections, he moves control from the states to the executive branch. This allows him to rig the process under the banner of 'election integrity,' shielded by presidential immunity, while his minions carry out the plan with the guarantee of federal pardons. 🤔 really scotus?

Why should he prove it? His constituents still believe the 2020 election was stolen. Ask them for proof and they have nothing. They still believe it though.

Maybe because more Dems than repubs vote by post??? Therefore early repub leads are whittled away. It's not exactly rocket science...

Perhaps someone could make a little demo on which party is more likely to vote by mail and match it up with the states in which laws dictate that mail votes aren't opened until after the polls close. It may help Mike, who appears to be a visual learner.

For I am afraid that when I come I may not find you as I want you to be, and you may not find me as you want me to be. I fear that there may be discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, slander, gossip, arrogance and disorder. 2 Corinthians 12:20

From now on, for elections, we're all going to assemble in a field and when they announce the candidate, we are to raise our hands in favor of our choice. Count lasts 90 seconds. Most votes win. Like the Founders intended or something....Mikey J

"we MUST put all our eggs in one basket, specifically the basket in front of a mad king that keeps demanding we remove all limits to his power. please be convinced we're trying to protect democracy."

three republican house rep candidates, huh. there's 218 in congress right now and you're pretending it's impossible for polls to be wrong three times out of that many elections? lying, manipulative snake.

Their trying to change the law to fit the MAGA propagandists reality. If you've seen any of these people, they tell the MAGA base that Trump is extremely popular as well as republicans. They're trying to tell their people that they lose elections because dems committ fraud. Is there any hope left?

It only 'looks fraudlent' if you're a fascist-fellater (like Johnson), or understand nothing about how elections work. Large cities tend to vote Democratic. It also takes longer to count the votes of cities, since there are more votes there. Ergo: Voted counted later tend to favor Democrats.

I am convinced the republicans are cheating and when they don’t get the margins that they predicted (so they can just change a few votes to their side) and they loose they are upset and accuse us of cheating.

It’s almost like each district reports individually, and each district can go to either party. Folks who won’t know how elections work shouldn’t be able to run for office. Fucking nitwit

Oh, the man who knows nothing suddenly has a stupid and wrong opinion on the nuances of precinct updating? Precincts with fewer people tend to be more conservative, and their results are finalized earlier. Maybe he should go back to saying he hasn't heard anything about it.

Someone tried to convince me recently that for his entire life ballots have always been counted on election day and results given the same day. Polls don't even close until 7 pm most places and just because an election is "called" does not mean all the ballots have been counted. They keep counting.

Well for starters it’s not magic you fucking idiot. Democratic votes are concentrated in urban areas, so there’s more vote to count in a smaller area so it takes longer. But also the question was can we nationalize the vote and the answer is NO THATS ILLEGAL.

Infuriating. It does NOT 'look on its face to be fraudulent'. Not even a little bit. It's so stupid and brazenly dishonest and corrupt, somebody should just slap his smug little face.
