In New Jersey, Republicans are trying to discredit another free and fair election

[Zorro]

It has been exactly a year since Donald Trump birthed the “big lie” that he won the 2020 election. Now, the “big lie” has itself given birth to a new generation of election vandalism.

On Tuesday night, gubernatorial votes took place in Virginia and New Jersey. In Virginia, Republican Glenn Youngkin defeated Democrat Terry McAuliffe by a margin of 50.9 percent to 48.4 percent as of midday Friday. In New Jersey, Democrat Phil Murphy defeated Republican Jack Ciattarelli by a nearly identical margin, 50.8 percent to 48.5 percent.

In Virginia, McAuliffe conceded defeat the morning after the election. “Congratulations to Governor-Elect Glenn Youngkin on his victory,” he said in a statement. “I hope Virginians will join me in wishing the best to him and his family.”

In New Jersey, Ciattarelli refused to concede, and staff called media outlets “irresponsible” for projecting that his opponent won. He issued a video appeal Thursday evening for people to come forward with allegations of fraud. “You can report any perceived or real irregularity to the voter integrity hotline set up by the NJGOP,” he said.

I wish the MSM would simply just start calling them sore losers. Everybody understands that.

3. All districts are therefore "suspect" except for Durr beating Sweeney in South Jersey?

4. So which one is it?

Who is the poor loser?

Jack or Sweeney?


Because the messages coming out of both seem to be exactly the same.

Mail in ballots are still being counted and provisional ballots are still to be counted.


Maybe they should both just concede?

5. That's all they do anymore.

6. If they start claiming that every election

is stolen then more and more people will see their game and they’ll be discredited. So go for it you sore losers, go ahead and claim every loss is due to fraud.

7. Exactly..crying wolf too many times just doesn't work

8. Report any "perceived irregularities"

So, make up shit.
