Speaking at a campaign event in Iowa, Trump said it was important to scrutinize the vote in the battleground states likely to determine the general election. He singled out the biggest cities in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Georgia.

“So the most important part of what’s coming up is to guard the vote. And you should go into Detroit and you should go into Philadelphia and you should go into some of these places, Atlanta,” Trump said in Ankeny, a suburb of Des Moines.

Trump’s comments foreshadow what is likely to be a contentious election in November 2024. Despite the failure of dozens of lawsuits filed by Trump and his allies challenging the outcome in 2020, Trump continues to claim, without evidence, that he lost to U.S. President Joe Biden due to fraud.

      you ever get stuck sitting next to a very friendly old lady whose got about thirty pictures of her grand kids, and insists on telling you everything about what happened the day they were taken?

      I’m proposing torturing the trumpian poll watchers with such… as a for of entertainment, because poll watching is really boring. Like. watching paint dry boring.

      I missed it too, but I think I want to start showing people pics of my “grandkids”. Maybe get some hyper realistic ai pics and backstory…

      I just want to watch people get confused and try to do the math while also trying to figure out how old I am
