Fact-checking Trump's false claims about Arizona and Florida elections

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

President Donald Trump has made several false claims about the ballot-counting processes in both Florida and Arizona in recent days.

Trump alleged on Twitter that ballots were "infected" in Florida and that "electoral corruption" had taken place in Arizona. The comments were reminiscent of his false claims after the 2016 election that millions of illegal votes cast in California cost him the popular vote and that voters were bused into New Hampshire from Massachusetts.

Trump's latest claims reflect a basic lack of understanding of those states' ordinary procedures for counting ballots.

And his proposed remedies -- determining results based only on the ballots counted on election night in Florida, and potentially holding a new election in Arizona -- lack any sort of legal or historical grounding.

1. Very nice, MSN

Now, you need to keep repeating the fact that Trump lacks a basic understanding of state procedures for counting ballots. You know he's going to keep harping on this. Be ready with the facts to counter his uninformed nonsense at the same time you're reporting that nonsense. Two days later in another forum isn't very effective. Trump sows lies like dragon's teeth, and has to be pulled up short every time.
