Wisconsin Officials Outraged After Pro-Trump Observers Start Objecting To Every Vote In Recount

With over 30 cases lost or dismissed in court, President Donald Trump and his legal team are scrambling to argue a modicum of legitimacy in the lies that widespread voter fraud tipped the 2020 presidential election to President-elect Joe Biden.

A key component in this effort is amplifying the wildly delusional claims to the less scrutinizing court of public opinion.


In the weeks since the election was called for Biden, the President's Twitter account has become a stream of falsehoods designed to undermine faith not only in the outcome of the 2020 election, but faith in the United States' overall democratic process.

Biden narrowly won the swing state of Wisconsin with a close enough margin to entitle Trump's campaign to a recount. The Trump campaign exercised that option, requesting recounts in the heavily blue counties of Milwaukee and Dane.

Emboldened by Trump's lies about the suppression of Republican poll watchers, some of Trump's supporters observing the recount have taken to contesting every single ballot, indicating a presumption of criminality.

The recount in Milwaukee was projected to conclude by Wednesday, but with every ballot being contested by pro-Trump poll observers in an effort to disqualify them, the December 1 deadline for the recount's completion is even more urgent.

Milwaukee County Clerk George Christenson said the effort was "unacceptable" and that the pro-Trump observers

"clearly don't know what they are doing."

The bad faith of the Trump campaign and its supporters was roundly criticized on Twitter.






Others weren't surprised.



Biden won the state of Wisconsin by around 20 thousand votes.

Trump Sparks Concern After Repeatedly Confusing Alaska With Russia Ahead Of Putin Meeting

President Donald Trump turned heads on Monday after he repeatedly claimed he's going to "Russia" on Friday—very openly confusing the country with the state of Alaska, the actual location where he plans to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin for a highly anticipated summit.

Trump made the mix-up during a press conference about crime in Washington, D.C., where he has already moved to federalize the police and deploy the National Guard, citing inflated crime statistics that compared D.C. to Baghdad and Brasilia.

JB Pritzker Explains Exactly Why Trump Is Pushing His GOP Allies To Redistrict—And He's Spot On

Speaking on NBC's Meet the Press, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker perfectly explained why President Donald Trump is pushing for gerrymandered redistricting in Republican-led states amid pushback from Democrats in Texas.

Redistricting has been all over the news cycle in the days since Texas Democrats fled the state to avoid voting on a new heavily-gerrymandered redistricting map and to deny their GOP colleagues a quorum, the minimum number of lawmakers required to conduct legislative business.

MSNBC Fact-Checks Trump In Real Time As He Blatantly Lies About Crime Rates In DC

President Donald Trump is facing criticism after he was fact-checked by MSNBC in real time as he lied about crime statistics while announcing his decision to federalize police in Washington, D.C., and deploy the National Guard in an effort to fight crime.

Trump's announcement is a significant escalation of his previous attacks on the nation's capital, which he has repeatedly referred to as "crime-infested." He claimed in his remarks to the press that D.C. is “one of the most dangerous cities anywhere in the world,” a claim at odds with Justice Department data showing that the city’s crime rate hit a 30-year low last year.
