We all knew this was the republicans plan

Have a red mirage in the 3 midwestern states by their Republican legislators not letting them count the absentee votes early (the opposite of fla) so that trump could declare victory and say the counting needs to stop

Been able to count absentee votes before the DAY of the ELECTION in Michigan. This has been the rule forever and a day.

then I suggest that you fight to change that. Number 1 priority. Same goes for ALL states who have these archaic rules.

For like 10 years + in the Michigan House and what like 20 years ago in the Michigan Senate. Not happening no time, too soon. Just the way it is in Michigan. There is A LOT of Rural Nation.

to divide the country by red and blue..let the reds have their lands (with no help from the blue states supporting them) and proclaim their own country and we blues will go our own way and do the same.

but they better get busy and close out two of the four states (WI, MI, GA, and PA). Biden just needs any two now (assuming NV is a win).
