Beaten Republicans Follow Trump In Seeking to Overturn Their Election Defeats

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

As President Donald Trump continues his efforts to overturn his defeat to President-elect Joe Biden, two beaten Republicans have followed suit in refusing to concede and contesting the results of their elections.

Two months have passed since the 2020 presidential election and Trump has still not conceded. Biden secured 306 Electoral College votes, surpassing the 270 needed to win, but the president, with 232 Electoral College votes, has repeatedly claimed that widespread voter fraud caused his defeat. Judges have slapped down virtually all of the dozens of lawsuits filed by Trump's campaign in disputed states seeking to reverse his election loss.

But Trump's not the only Republican who is declining to accept defeat. Illinois State Senator Jim Oberweis, who lost his bid to unseat Democratic Congresswoman Lauren Underwood, informed the House on Monday of his intentions to contest the outcome of his election, one day after his opponent was sworn into her second term.

Underwood defeated Oberweis by a small margin of 5,374 votes—1.34 percent—but the Republican is now claiming he won. In his 'Notice of Contest,' Oberweis alleged that the nearly 40,000 mail-in ballots from Kane County were improperly initiated by election officials and demanded they be voided.

7. The loser in our gubernatorial election is following the same failed strategy.

The Republican candidate who lost to Gov. Jay Inslee by more than half a million votes (13.5 percentage points) refused to concede and filed evidence-free lawsuits with baseless claims of fraud. He said he will "never concede." Sound familiar?

8. Yeah Loren Culp

What's ridiculous is it isn't even close. I think he may have taken a cue from Trump and is asking for donations from his supporters which he intends to pocket.
