And here are the Trump lies
they used in the Objection,
even AFTER
a delusional cult-following-mob
murdered a policeman
in the Capital !

Trump acts as if the count on election night was official. It was just a snapshot in time, with an illusionary “red wave” because in-person votes were dominated by Republicans.

More baseless accusations.

In this stew of falsehoods, Trump does not mention that the U.S. Supreme Court allowed these ballots to be counted up to three days later. It requested that the ballots be segregated in case of disputes but not enough were received to make a difference in the outcome.

It was a minor legal victory -- an appellate judge ordered that poll watchers in Pennsylvania must be allowed within six feet of counting of votes -- that made no difference in the outcome. Trump lost virtually all of his lawsuits -- and he lost Pennsylvania.

Actually, most of the votes to be counted were in Democratic strongholds. Unlike many other states, mail and absentee ballots could not be counted before Election Day in Pennsylvania because the GOP-controlled legislature refused to authorize it. Within a day, Trump’s margin had shrunk to 41,000 votes, with about 300,000 left to count. Biden ultimately won the state by more than 80,000 votes.

It’s math, not magic. Election workers are counting ballots. As more ballots are counted, the totals for each candidate shift, sometimes drastically. That’s because of the way states have set up their election systems, the different approaches taken by the Biden and Trump campaigns and other factors. Biden encouraged supporters to vote early and by mail. Trump falsely denigrated the mail-voting system for months and urged supporters to vote in person. Meanwhile, because of the coronavirus pandemic, states governed by Republicans and Democrats decided to expand mail-voting options this year. This year, mail-in votes are a much greater proportion of the overall vote when compared with previous elections. Then, in three key battlegrounds, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, the Republican-controlled legislatures rejected proposals that would have allowed an early start for counting mail ballots. The difference can be seen in neighboring states Ohio and Pennsylvania. The former allows early counting and has reported all votes; the latter does not and the count is ongoing. Officials in Pennsylvania began processing 2.6 million mail ballots at 7 a.m. on Election Day. Add it all up, and what we're seeing is something state officials, election experts and news reporters have been outlining for months. Vote counts in some states could show Trump ahead at first and then Biden taking the lead, or vice versa. In other words, ballots are not being “dumped,” as Trump claims. Vote totals are updated as officials round up more precinct totals.

***This tweet was flagged by Twitter as misleading.***

The “blue shift” in Pennsylvania, as the Philadelphia Inquirer dubbed it in January, reflects how Trump voters largely shunned vote-by-mail while Biden voters embraced it. The in-person votes were first to be added to the tally, but officials are still wading through the crush of mail ballots that they could not start counting until Election Day. According to news reports, Biden has a more than 75 percent share of those votes, so as the count continues, his total grows.

***This tweet was flagged by Twitter as misleading.*** Trump has no right to claim states. The votes are counted and certified by individual states.

False. Biden says he would allow existing fracking operations to continue but would not grant new permits on federal lands. (That’s a big difference, given that about 90 percent of 982,000 wells in the United States are on private lands, subject to state and local regulation, according to the Bureau of Land Management.) Biden also would not abolish fossil fuels. His plan on energy and the environment calls for “net-zero [carbon] emissions no later than 2050.” That’s 30 years from now. In the interim, Biden’s plan says, “we must look at all low- and zero-carbon technologies,” leaving the door open to carbon capture and other fossil-fuel-based sources. The “net-zero” language is a term of art, meaning that some fossil fuels would continue to be used so long as their emissions are offset by other means. Trump frequently suggests Biden changed his tune on fracking after he won the nomination but that's incorrect, though the Trump campaign tried to seize on verbal stumbles.

Trump often claims there are 900,000 (or more) fracking jobs in Pennsylvania. A report issued by his own White House says the number of natural gas and oil industry jobs in the state is 26,000. The report adds that the natural gas and industry supports nearly 322,600 jobs in the state. That's a generous calculation that assumes the spending reverberates through the economy. But that's still far short of 900,000 jobs.

There is no legal requirement that mandates the immediate reporting of all election results in the country; delayed counting is unavoidable when so many people are avoiding election lines during the pandemic. Plenty of presidential elections have remained unsettled on election night, some for days or weeks. Trump baselessly suggests Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf, a Democrat, and officials in the Democratic stronghold of Philadelphia will manipulate the vote count, laying the groundwork for his many unsuccessful challenges to contest his loss in the state.

Trump baselessly speculates that Democrats will sneak in votes if they see Biden is behind in the count -- exactly the false charge he made after he lost the election.

Trump often chastises Democratic governors — particularly of swing states — for not opening their economies or for implementing lockdowns. However, every state in the union — including North Carolina and Michigan — had begun reopening by mid-June at the latest, months before Trump started his critiques. In other words, no state is under a highly restrictive stay-at-home order — and most of those have been lifted for months. Trump also falsely says the Democrats were only keeping their states closed to enhance their election chances.

Trump often blames trade deals for the decline in American manufacturing, but experts say it's hard to isolate their effect on jobs. Meanwhile, technological advances such as automation and low wages in manufacturing powerhouses such as China also played a role in declining manufacturing in the U.S., though Trump rarely if ever acknowledges these factors. (For many months, Trump claimed one in three manufacturing jobs was lost to trade deals but as the 2020 election approached, he boosted the statistic to 50 percent.)

Without evidence, Trump has repeatedly claimed Biden is the head of an organized crime family and a corrupt politician. Unlike Trump, Biden released decades of tax returns and no evidence has emerged of corruption and shady dealings. Hunter Biden, one of his sons, did business deals that might not have come his way if he had not been a vice president's son, but the same could be said of Trump's adult children. A lengthy Wall Street Journal examination of Hunter Biden's business dealings, published Dec. 22, 2020, concluded: "None of the Journal’s reporting found that Joe Biden was involved in his son’s business activities. The tax investigation doesn’t implicate the president-elect, according to people familiar with the matter."

Biden has a long history of promoting gun-control laws, including an assault weapons ban that expired after ten years. But contrary to Trump's claims, he does not want to eliminate guns or prevent gun ownership. As a candidate, Biden supports universal background checks and a ban on the manufacture and sale of semiautomatic rifles and higher-capacity magazines, along with tighter regulation or the buyback of those weapons currently in private hands. He also would limit the ability of Americans to buy more than one gun a month.

There is no basis for this claim.

Trump keeps saying Biden will cause stock markets to crash and send the country into a depression worse than 1929. But Wall Street is bullish on Biden. Moody's Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi says "the economic outlook is strongest under the scenario in which Biden and the Democrats sweep Congress and fully adopt their economic agenda." Similarly, Goldman Sachs's chief economist says Biden's policies and expected stimulus spending if Democrats sweep congressional races would “outweigh the negative effects of tax increases, particularly in light of the fact that the increased tax revenue would go to funding new spending.” (After Biden won the presidential election, the stock market went up, despite Trump's numerous predictions of a crash.)
