Lawyers for Pennsylvania Republicans are asking the US Supreme Court to order the state to not take any action on any mail-in ballots received after Election Day, November 3.

The Pennsylvania secretary of state has already ordered any ballots that arrive between Wednesday, November 4, and Friday, November 6, be segregated from those that arrived by Election Day, pending ongoing litigation, and the state GOP’s request simply asks the court to enforce that action as well as order that “no action” is taken on the ballots.

Why not post all the paragraphs of that story?

“Given the results of the November 3, 2020 general election, the vote in Pennsylvania may well determine the next President of the United States—and it is currently unclear whether all 67 county boards of elections are segregating late-arriving ballots, “ the GOP petition states.

Every other president has left on amicable terms.

What Trump is doing is unprecedented and a stain on the history of America.

As a contrast, this is what George Bush Senior wrote to Bill Clinton when he lost.

I don't understand one thing. Why is everyone and the media so insistent on Trump conceding the election? He hasn't actually lost yet.

It’s only fair that Trump undoes all the great work he’s done in the past 4 years of making America great again. Otherwise Biden will reap the fruits of what Trump has sown.
