November 20, 2020 at 7:53 am EST By Taegan Goddard
President Trump and his allies are taking increasingly frantic steps to subvert the results of the 2020 election, including summoning state legislators to the White House as part of a longshot bid to overturn Joe Bidens victory, the AP reports.
Among other last-ditch tactics: personally calling local election officials who are trying to rescind their certification votes in Michigan, suggesting in a legal challenge that Pennsylvania set aside the popular vote there and pressuring county officials in Arizona to delay certifying vote tallies.
Election law experts see it as the last, dying gasps of the Trump campaign and say Biden is certain to walk into the Oval Office come January. But there is great concern that Trumps effort is doing real damage to public faith in the integrity of U.S. elections.

She/he will ask you for your address and if you're not living in Kentucky, they will hang up the phone

What we are enduring is unconscionable and unnecessary.
I will always remember it and will always hold the Republicans accountable for it and the deaths of thousands of my fellow Americans as it has played out without any attention or relief on the COVID pandemic.

I, for one, lost faith in our election integrity when Gore was denied the Presidency by a sham Supreme Court decision. Add to that the fact that the Presidency was stolen from Hillary.
