@Winger You can't ask for evidence and then simply post links to right wing organisations that have a history of parroting everything Trump alleges.
Oh sorry yes you can. You just did. Like always.
I agree if there's electoral fraud it should be prosecuted but as yet there is no evidence of any and posting extremely dubious sources doesn't advance your argument one jot - it discredits it.

If Trump doesn't want to wait for the votes to be counted, why should the Dems wait for this "Evidence"

is it me of is using the term "fake news" become a bit of a joke, just makes people sound like they cant actually explain whats wrong
It’s up there with Alternate facts, remember how we laughed at that one.
That reminded me of "Baghdad Bob" the Iraqi "information" minister. He always cracked me up. Alternate facts and fake new are we used to call, "lies", which seemed to work O.K.

I'm willing to wait and see. You seem to have already made your mind up
And right wing organisations? As opposed to the mostly (honest and fair?) left wing media

Getting embarrassing now for Trumps inner circle..
Eric Trump and Rudy Giuliani make bizarre claims of fraud and 'dead people' voting in Pennsylvania
In a bizarre speech, the Borat 2 star and Trump's personal lawyer said he'd been sent to find out how many dead people had voted in Pennsylvania. Perhaps thought he was heading to Transylvania.
in case your wondering why Rudy is the star of Borat 2..

@Winger I can only commend your consistency in pivoting and reframing any commentary or questions that challenge your take.
To be fair that could just about be any ferner on any subject.
I appreciate how you pivoted and reframed that..

Can someone explain why the voting process is not digital yet?
As a software developer, the thought of digital voting terrifies me. Easiest path to fraud ever.
Pretty hard to fake paper ballots with the right checks and balances. And they can be recounted. Bits can be altered permanently with no trail.

It is digital is some areas.
Digital does not mean it is secure though. There's been plenty of issues with machines and in 2012 there were low level attempts at hacking the vote tally network in a couple of states.
I prefer a paper based system because when things go wrong you can trace the vote back to a physical thing

His daughter who is a key member of his team likewise
Shit, I forgot nepotism.
Are you implying Ivanka Trump. Part time model, is not qualified to represent the United States of American in matters of state?
I would never imply such a thing.
I'm sure that she is more than qualified and she got the job on merit (even if her Dad would like to shag her).
Ah, that kind of merit.
My understanding is she allegedly was paid by daddy as an external consultant while employed by daddy. If so, that is rockstar merit.

@Snowy for me it boils down too "childish", the name calling and wild speculations wouldn't be allowed in any work place ive ever had (let alone socially)....but apparently its fine for the President of the the US
I’m certainly not a fan of it, but name calling and derogatory nicknames has been pretty common in politics here in OZ for a long time.
One man’s wild speculation is another man’s reality...

Fair enough, funny that we trust the banks with all of our digital life savings though
