RECOUNT FRAUD.

The only reason accuracy wouldn’t be important in a ballot recount would be if you already have a predetermined outcome, and everything else is just theater.

And the marquee over that theater is: Stop the Steal, aka Extend the Big Lie for Our Rabid Base

This is Q-driven scam for the sake of the nutters. The whole thing should be shut down.

Federal Troops should be sent in.

This is one of the worst abuses of the Constitutional Rights of American citizens on a massive scale that I've ever seen.

We needed to send federal troops to the south to desegregate schools.

We need to send federal troops to Arizona to protect Democracy.

Hell, the dipshits in Arizona have been fantasizing about federal troops for decades. We shouldn't disappoint them.

This is fucking madness.

Trump's gone but we are far from being out of the woods. As long as this nonsense is perpetuated the risk of violence increases.

In Maricopa county:
Biden 1,040,774
Trump 995,665

It's going to be interesting once they "find" more than 45,000 more votes for Trump.
