Two Days After Primary, Virginia GOP Has No Idea Who It Nominated For Governor
Two days after Virginia Republicans held their primary for the state s high-stakes governor s race this November, it s unclear which candidate will emerge as the nominee, as ballot counting only began on Monday morning.
The lack of results in Saturday s voting runs counter to Donald Trump s and his GOP allies demand after the 2020 election that all counting must be done and a winner declared on Election Day or else the results are fraudulent. I think it s a terrible thing when people or states are allowed to tabulate ballots for a long period of time after the election is over, Trump said on Nov. 2, 2020, in response to a question about whether he d declare victory on election night even without a representative count of ballots.

More than a thousand phantom ballots were discovered in Antrim County, Michigan, according to a local attorney in a 2020 election lawsuit alleging fraud in the contest six months after it took place.
Matthew DePerno, who is representing Antrim County resident William Bailey, said a recount in December tallied 15,962 ballots, but only 14,901 votes were shown in the Michigan secretary of state s database, meaning 1,061 don t exist on voter rolls.
This alleged discovery of phantom ballots, DePerno wrote in a recent filing, supports the need for an audit of the county results. Other irregularities that warrant a closer look, according to DePerno, are data showing a near 100% turnout among voters aged 65 to 80 and 1 in 5 ballots being sent to P.O. boxes.
Trump on Monday said there had been a bombshell development in Michigan
He appeared to be referring to a case in Antrim County, in the rural north
The case is among the last in the United States going through the courts
Antrim County was won by Trump so altering results would not help his cause
The plaintiff in the case wants to use it to expose the fraud in the election
The local officials argue it is a waste of time and will not change anything
Trump on Monday said: The number of votes is MASSIVE and determinative
Former President Donald Trump is the Grand Pooh-Bah of liars. The Washington Post documented him telling more than 30,000 lies or misleading claims over a four-year period.
Trump incessantly repeats his big white nationalist lie that massive election fraud occurred in areas populated by people of color.
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it,” as the saying goes, “people will eventually come to believe it.”
A recent Reuters/Ipsos poll found that 55% of Republicans believe Trump s “big lie.”
The claim was debunked by Trump s own Department of Homeland Security, the FBI and Attorney General Bill Barr (who behaved as Trump s personal attorney). More than 80 judges rejected more than 60 election cases after plaintiffs failed to prove fraud occurred. Public trust in those agencies is our democracy s foundation, but they weren t believed by MAGA supporters because Trump trashed them.
