Oct 2020

they're going to steal the election.

A friend who lives in PA just posted this on FB:

Our noble state legislature has set it up so that, if the count is close, they can keep demanding recounts, and if they can delay the final count until 8th December, they will be allowed to appoint the electors. We all know who those crooks will vote for. ALSO, they can investigate any "fraud" and question the validity of the elections...again, allowing them to appoint the electors. Pennsylvania is one of the states where there is a real possibilty of armed militias showing up to intimidate voteres. Guys, we are going to be screwed over by the stinking, cheating, lying Republicans like never before. Damn the lot of them.

I did post back asking what the specific requirements in PA triggered an automatic recount. And would the state legislature even be in session in November and December. Honestly, this sounds like the sort of bad and unverified information my friend is all too apt to post. He doesn't always bother to check facts, which is frustrating. He's been convinced all along that the election will be totally stolen, and is far too quick to buy into doom and gloom.
