LP voters are usually won’t vote for either party. They are activated by having someone on their ballot that represents their beliefs. A small percentage of their votes are from Rs and Ds and they draw from each evenly. Cato has done research on this and it’s in exit polls yearly https://t.co/TkUPzEinSv
Scott Ruesterholz @Read_N_Learn
Per Current Vote Count:
GA: Trump -4k. Libertarians won 61k
PA: Trump -27k. Libertarian 77k
WI: Trump -20k. Libertarian 30k
AZ: Trump -29k. Libertarian 47k.
Absolutely blood boiling. I hope these voters are happy.

Am I the only person sickened by what's coming: 75 days of chaos and denial as Trump thrashes like dying roadkill until Biden is sworn in and even THEN looks for ways to undermine our democracy while abusing the gullibility of America's rube White evangelical delusional fanatics?

How I’m going to sleep this weekend knowing that my principled vote for Jo Jorgensen was a waste, a protest, and, somehow, a vote for Biden or Trump in various states.

I voted Libertarian in Arizon.
Trump didn't earn my vote because
1. Bailout/Stimulus support
2. Vaccine support
3. Tariffs
4. FED expansion
5. Divisive
6. War
While I am much closer to right economics versus left, this doesn't mean I will sacrifice who I am morally for MY vote

I’ve been thinking about something Rick Santorum said on CNN today. Essentially, he thinks Republicans around Trump are going with the voter fraud canard and leaders are being quiet to give him time to emotionally process losing so he goes quietly.

Folks, it's over. And the truth is that it wasn't close. The illusion of a nail-biter process was simply an artifact of counting most of Biden's votes after Trump's because of mail in voting. And that delay was part of Trump's effort to cue up bogus claims of fraud to steal it.

This is weirdly good for Fox News. The news side has been floating more and more centrist to capture the audience from CNN. Shedding the Alex Jones wing of the right and positioning more center-right may help them more than it hurts.

One problem with the theory of mass fraud, besides implausibility at a certain level of coordination, is that Republicans won Senate seats in states he lost and gained in the House. The election returns look a lot less like fraud and a lot more like fatigue.
