The election fraud lawsuits have started again.

But Trump chose to stoke the flames Wednesday morning, posting on Truth Social that “Pennsylvania is cheating, and getting caught, at large scale levels rarely seen before.”

“Law enforcement must act, NOW!” he added.

Bucks County officials confirmed to NBC Philadelphia that they had been notified of the lawsuit, but did not provide further comment. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, meanwhile, shot back at the Republican presidential nominee, highlighting that Trump and his allies have spent the last four years actively corroding public trust in U.S. elections—and that they are currently warming up their second conspiracy to undermine the 2024 election results.

    I honestly think it’s going to work

    I don’t pretend to be able to predict the future, but Trump tried this same thing four years ago and couldn’t pull it off - and he was actually still the President at that time. Seems like it would be even more difficult for him to do it this time as an ex-president, especially considering that he’s now so old and senile that he can’t even paint himself orange properly any more.

      It’s not up to him to install himself, but to have people work on his behalf at the state level. That is what failed the first time, but they’ve since “corrected” by having as many “election deniers” work in the departments necessary to mess with the states/counties vote counting. If they can get enough people gum up the works and to push enough lawsuits to drag this out they can then go to the SCOTUS to ask for them to essentially say “it’s been long enough, you have to stop counting.” in an event similar to Bush V Gore. :(
