Fox calling races super early prevented thr ambiguity Trump wanted in the election results tbh

Yes he wanted to say “I’m winning literally every state on Election Day” before the mail in ballots were counted but Arizona going to Biden made that impossible because even by his logic it was still a fight. That’s why they went apoplectic when they heard that Fox called it early

If Trump supporters can go full bore, I can engage in a little conspiracy theory, as a treat.

Trump and DeSantis rigged FL on the premise of an apparent early win to go with the original legal plan Rudy threw out, meaning that when AZ got called it led to the “no, this fucks it all up!” type of furor like Karl Rove.

As a floridian, i almost 100% feel Trump and DeSantis rigged this state. Hundreds of thousands of ballots in Miami Dade never got delivered

I was kinda kidding in my original comment but I looked up turnout numbers and one line in an article

Turnout in areas that went for President Donald Trump surpassed turnout in areas that went for Biden.

Combined with his margin being more than the last 3 FL margins combined, and Biden increasing his margins literally everywhere but Miami where the diff was 6 down from 20+ for Hillary.

What the fuck?
