Trump Uses Data From Wrong Election To Claim Massive Voter Fraud In Pennsylvania

[sabra]

Source: politicus usa

A Republican state legislator in Pennsylvania used figures from the wrong election to claim widespread voter fraud in the state – and Donald Trump took to Twitter early Saturday morning to cite that data.

In a tweet, Pennsylvania state Sen. Doug Mastriano used numbers from the primary to suggest that over a million votes were pulled from thin air in the general election.

As Derek Willis noted on Twitter, it’s “astounding” that a state official in Pennsylvania would brazenly use data from the wrong election as a basis to overturn the results, but this is where the current Republican Party is.

...

It got even worse on Saturday as Mastriano suggested that “mounting evidence” shows that the presidential election in Pennsylvania was stolen and that the state legislature should select delegates to the Electoral College that will overturn Biden’s win.

1. I could believe Mastriano did this deliberately but I could also believe he's just that incompetent.

You just never know with these guys.

13. I go for the "LIE BIG" answer over "just another screw up".

[fearnobush]

2. No theys been pulling favorable incorrect data in every swing state on purpose

Because they know the Trumpidiots will believe anything they sow.

3. The world is watching Donald make a big giant ass of himself again...

4. Mastriano is a moron. He wanted to have a mask-burning bonfire.

In response to a Pennsylvania mask-wearing order, Mastriano called for a mask-burning party at a July 2020 rally in Gettysburg.At a July 22, 2020 rally, Mastriano urged people to reject store employees telling them to wear a mask and "tell them to mind your own business and say you're exempt."

15. I now recall that story--but forgot who was involved. Thanks

5. Why is Twitter allowing the post to stay up?

The "Multiple sources called this election differently" is ridiculous as there is no alternative here. The numbers are just plain wrong.

8. Yeah that "warning" seems a tad tepid

Don't they have something stronger than that to use? Like this is FALSE INFORMATION.

6. You know what they say ... the bigger the lie ... (nt)

7. Pennsylvania mailed out more than 2.6M ballots, not 1.8M. Even so, as of that time....

...add up the numbers. Biden was only behind by 9000 (2.821 + .594 + .049 vs. 1.408 + 1.994 + .052)

9. The Democratic Party

needs to hire the best PR/Ad agency in the biz and point out the Repub's are either lying or incompetent. Or both!

[marble falls]

10. He's trying to self-fulfill his own claims of voter fraud and chicanery.

11. They know that they are spreading misinformation

but they also know that enough of their supporters are so stupid and gullible that they believe every dumb lie, even if it can be easily fact checked. What they are doing is simply irresponsible.

[riversedge]

16. There are serious long term terrible effects from Trump doing this--and it wll not be cured

in two years or four years (by the next elections). Think of it--73 million -give or take believe that elections are a fraud.

19. I very much agree with the idea of the spreading of mistrust and cyncism about the election processs

But it might not be all bad. It might have the effect of leaving "them" at home, as may be happening in Georgia, even now.

[SWBTATTReg]

12. These people are sure screaming fraud and such, it does make me really wonder who's doing

the fraud here, w/ trump gathering so many votes too, that in truth, I didn't expect him to get, knowing how incompetent he is. I certainly hope that federal election monitors or whomever has any authority will look into these voting patterns/votes in ALL states, TN in particular too, being that they were some pretty big irregularities there too.

[BobTheSubgenius]

18. It's a mistake to call this "incompetence."

That word has the effect of elevating their performance. "Incompetent" is far too kind.
