What's their plan now, go with trump's declaration that he's the winner?

Typical, bizarro trump chaos—losers demonstrating because a loser is losing.

They will be given water and thanked for toting guns on city streets in plain view. If they were black, half would be shot, with the other half tear gassed and beaten.

count in Michigan and Wisconsin where Biden is ahead and so stopping the count would mean they lose.

Somehow that strategy seems off.

PHOENIX – Several hundred protesters gathered outside of the Maricopa County Elections Office on Wednesday night as the votes from the 2020 elections continued to be counted.

The group had gathered around 7:30 p.m. and attempted to get inside the office, according to ABC15.

Protesters could be heard chanting “count those votes” and chastising Fox News Channel for calling Arizona for Democratic candidate Joe Biden on Tuesday, which was the first network to make that call. The crowd also voiced concerns over if ballots filled out with permanent marker were being counted.

Arizona elections officials had dismissed those fears earlier in the day, saying that poll workers would not give voters pens that would invalidate ballots ...

PHOENIX — A crowd of people -- some reportedly members of a far-right group and others wearing red M.A.G.A. hats and holding pro-Donald Trump political signs or American flags -- gathered outside the Maricopa County Recorder's Office Wednesday evening where votes in the 2020 elections are currently being counted.

ABC15's Nicole Valdes reported that the group gathered around 7:30 p.m. and attempted to get inside the Recorders Office. A couple of people were able to get inside at one point and asked questions about the vote count before being asked to leave ...

According to the latest election counts released Wednesday evening, Biden narrowly leads ...

so much chaos in the voting process it will not be completed forcing a delay and allowing the courts to step in and decide the election in his favor. He's grasping at straws at this point.

... Of course a dopey conspiracy theory would worm its way into the conversation. And of course it would have a stupid name so the country could have a handy shorthand to use to make fun of us ...

If you haven’t heard, Sharpiegate is the wrong notion pushed by some that Sharpie pens used at polling places were handed out for voting, but the felt-tip pen's ink would then bleed through the ballot, making it unreadable by a machine and thus keeping your vote from counting. Evidently this applies only to Republicans, for some reason ...
