This election is proof that we need a better system in place to vote something more fool proof ... I mean come on we live in 2020

If they are recounting the votes that where submitted on time WHY SHOULD THEY HAVE a time LIMIT of 5pm today. WTF???😲😡

"We will use every arrow in our quiver"---Nancy Pelosi, regarding trying to block Amy Barrett.
Dems should remember this quote as it relates to legal challenges on election voting processes.

All votes should b authenticated not just theirs every single one why is this so difficult

138k votes to *one* candidate 1 hour after the state publicly announced they were going to pause counting. All at once. Not a single one for anyone else. And, before the state said they would resume counting.

How about you don't think of latinos ethnically. Better yet, why don't you just ask people and get rid of identity politics - it doesn't work.

Thank you to all of you who voted for socialism in our country. Please check back with us in 4 years and let us know how you feel then.

This is a nail bitter of an election. I can only watch breakdowns and not constant coverage.

Count all the mail in ballots that have been postmarked in time, do not disenfranchise anyone so the outcome cannot be disputed. Win or lose we will have a President whomever that might be.

[FirstLast-cgnk]

I miss the days when we had dignified presidential candidates who faced defeat with dignity.

[chadrushing]

Take out all the cheating this would have been over a day ago.

[becky]

Orange dude needs to go away and be quiet now

[headishome]

It will be nice to not have a crybaby in the White House!!!

[klogjo]

In Michigan they are only allowing democrats to count the votes. This is democrats wallowing in corruption cheating the American people, the reason our forefathers gave us the right to bare arms, it's getting close to the time to use them.

[Noone]

It’s ironic that Al Gore was called Sore Loserman for demanding a recount 20 years ago yet Trump does this and takes it further but his supporters think it’s OK.

TRUMP WON LAST NIGHT!
TRUMP IS HERE TO STAY FOREVER!
LIKE IT OR NOT!
Hahahahaha

[vicbaker]

Time for Michigan Trump supporters to step up to the plate. Use your voice.

[coppydoubleloppkliem]

All the States controlled by democrats stop their counting quickly and declared Biden the winner while in areas that Biden was not ahead they are still counting so they can make him the winner in order to make his election look legitimate instead of a crime against the American voter. Lie, cheat, and steal is the moto of the democratic party or BAMN by any means necessary.
