Yes! The election WAS RIGGED and STOLEN

There has been a great deal of discussion since November 5 from people wondering how The King managed to be crowned and rules with the cruelty of a Caligula.
Most discussion covers the usual disagreements concerning elections - policies, debate, press coverage, etc etc.
If this had been a classic election that discussion would have been acceptable. However this was not a classic election. It was the first "Post Coup"election run fully onder Post Coup rules completely and US Citizens had better get used to it because future "elections" will follow the same formula. The die has been cast.

The best analysis I have seen of the reason for the current situation was an analysis in the British Guarian Newspaper.
Check for yourself.

comment in the article:
As in Bush v. Gore in 2000, and in too many other miscarriages of Democracy, this election was determined by good old “vote suppression,” the polite term we use for shafting people of color out of their ballot. We used to call it Jim Crow.

My comment
They're not original thinkers. Jim Crow must go.

knew the EV was in the bag. Why else would he waste time going to New York and California other than
trying gain some popular votes.

they've gotten so good at it. They know just where they've got to go, and what they have to do.
