What he posted about the vote, Nov 8–Nov 11

87 posts from him from Election Day’s midnight in Washington to Friday’s end: 41 were about the vote, and 11 called it rigged. Newest first.

Idiot, and possibly corrupt, officials have lost control of the tainted Election in Arizona. MACHINES BROKEN IN REPUBLICAN AREAS. A NEW ELECTION MUST BE CALLED FOR IMMEDIATELY!

Calls the vote rigged: rigged

RIGGED ELECTIONS, OPEN BORDERS = Third World Countries. The USA is a failing Nation!

Calls the vote rigged: steal

Now they’re finding all sorts of Ballots in Clark County, Nevada. They are pulling out all stops to steal the Election from Adam Laxalt. Mitch McConnell, the Republicans Broken Down Senate Leader, does nothing about this. He’s too busy spending vast amounts of money on bad Senator Lisa M of Alaska, when Kelly S is FAR better. Should have fought and stopped the steal in 2020. Gave Dems 4 Trillion Dollars, never used Debt Ceiling. He is the WORST!

Calls the vote rigged: scam, fraud, stole

So in Maricopa County they’re at it again. Voting Machines in large numbers didn’t work, but only in Republican districts. People were forced to wait for hours, then got exhausted or had other things to do and left the voting lines by the thousands. Even Kari Lake was taken to a Liberal Democrat district in order to vote. Others weren’t so lucky. This is a scam and voter fraud, no different than stuffing the ballot boxes. They stole the Electron from Blake Masters. Do Election over again!

The Democrats are finding all sorts of votes in Nevada and Arizona. What a disgrace that this can be allowed to happen!

I had such great success on Endorsements, perhaps success like no one has had before, both for Republican Nominations and the General Election itself, and I continue to get Fake News, RINO, and Radical Left criticism, but seldom congratulations or praise. That’s the way it is, and that’s the way it will always be!

Paul Ryan was the worst Speaker—had to go around him to finance the Wall. So bad on Fox Board, a loser! [Quoting: You lost us the House when you were speaker, you lost a presidential election to Obama, you suffocated our russia gate investigation… and remind me again what down ballot republicans you helped win this term from your gilded chair??? But youre gonna tell us how to win🤔 and who is a drag- dc swamp monster hypocrite glorifying his own ego https://nypost.com/2022/11/10/paul-ryan-trump-is-a-drag-on-gop-ticket/ [Link: Paul Ryan rips Trump as GOP ‘drag,’ says ex-president ‘gives us problems’ - “I think Trump’s kind of a drag on our ticket.

These people are incompetent corrupt. Their finding some very strange ballots? Be careful, we MUST PROTECT KARI & BLAKE! #2020 [Quoting: There's Been Yet Another Delay For Arizona Election Results https://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2022/11/10/theres-been-yet-another-delay-for-arizona-election-results-n2615816 [Link: There's Been Yet Another Delay For Arizona Election Results]]

Young Kin (now that’s an interesting take. Sounds Chinese, doesn’t it?) in Virginia couldn’t have won without me. I Endorsed him, did a very big Trump Rally for him telephonically, got MAGA to Vote for him - or he couldn’t have come close to winning. But he knows that, and admits it. Besides, having a hard time with the Dems in Virginia - But he’ll get it done!

Calls the vote rigged: rigged

Rigged Elections! [Quoting: Happened everywhere across the Country.]

Calls the vote rigged: cheated

I just need desantis to understand what we the people want we were cheated out of our vote for Trump and we want Trump to get his second term I hope desantis is not dumb and makes us not trust him by going against us or trump cuz dems are not gonna vote for him and we don’t need trump tearing him apart in debates! And if he talks crap to Trump he ends MAGA evEn wanting him in 2028!

Third World Elections!

Very strange things are happening with the votes cast in Nevada and Arizona. Stay tuned!

Calls the vote rigged: rigged

So sad to see Republicans attack and foolishly tarnish the results of the Midterms. WE WON, Nancy got fired and is on her way to foreign lands, Republicans are taking over the House and, importantly, its Committees, and may very well win the Senate Majority, depending on whether or not Arizona or Nevada Elections are RIGGED (which I believe they are!)?

Thank you! [Quoting: Donald J. Trump - he must be a machine! Always looks sharp - presentation pristine! 🙌🏼 When he's giving us TRUTH, it won't always be clean, but he's got a way with words (if you know what I mean)! 😏 He loves our country, and it clearly shows. A True Patriot from his hair to his toes! He has our respect, but our love for him grows, and we're still catching up with what he already knows! 🤔 His energy's contagious - Trump Rallies are THE BEST!! 👍🏼 WWG1WGA and to ALL may God Bless! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 🙏🏼 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸]

Now that midterms are over, and a success… NewsCorp, which is Fox, the Wall Street Journal, and the no longer great New York Post (bring back Col!), is all in for Governor Ron DeSanctimonious, an average REPUBLICAN Governor with great Public Relations, who didn’t have to close up his State, but did, unlike other Republican Governors, whose overall numbers for a Republican, were just average—middle of the pack—including COVID, and who has the advantage of SUNSHINE, where people…

Calls the vote rigged: stolen

…I also fixed his campaign, which had completely fallen apart. I was all in for Ron, and he beat Gillum, but after the Race, when votes were being stolen by the corrupt Election process in Broward County, and Ron was going down ten thousand votes a day, along with now-Senator Rick Scott, I sent in the FBI and the U.S. Attorneys, and the ballot theft immediately ended, just prior to them running out of the votes necessary to win. I stopped his Election from being stolen…

…And now, Ron DeSanctimonious is playing games! The Fake News asks him if he’s going to run if President Trump runs, and he says, “I’m only focused on the Governor’s race, I’m not looking into the future.” Well, in terms of loyalty and class, that’s really not the right answer… This is just like 2015 and 2016, a Media Assault (Collusion!), when Fox News fought me to the end until I won, and then they couldn’t have been nicer or more supportive. The Wall Street Journal loved…

You know the sticker in Pennsylvania that says, ‘I voted’? Some people are wearing them saying, ‘I thought I voted.’ Pennsylvania is a very corrupt State with voting, but nobody ever wants to check that. How does Oz (smart guy!) lose to a guy who can’t string together two sentences? They don’t want to check, because they don’t want to make me right. It happened to me in 2020, I lost one million votes with possibly one of the biggest drops in History, happening in the middle of the night.

Calls the vote rigged: cheat

Clark County, Nevada, has a corrupt voting system (be careful Adam!), as do many places in our soon to be Third World Country. Arizona even said “by the end of the week!” - They want more time to cheat! Kari Lake MUST win!

For those many people that are being fed the fake narrative from the corrupt media that I am Angry about the Midterms, don’t believe it. I am not at all angry, did a great job (I wasn’t the one running!), and am very busy looking into the future. Remember, I am a “Stable Genius.”

Despite having picked so many winners, I have to put up with the Fake News. For me, Fox News was always gone, even in 2015-16 when I began my “journey,” but now they’re really gone. Such an opportunity for another media outlet to make an absolute fortune, and do good for America. Let’s see what happens? [Quoting: …219 WINS against 16 LOSSES IN THE GENERAL ELECTION, and yet the Fake News writes only unrecognizable junk. No wonder they are all doing sooo badly!]

There is a Fake Story being promulgated by third rate reporter Maggie Hagaman of the Failing New York Times, that I am blaming our great former First Lady, Melania, and Sean Hannity, that I was angry with their pushing me to Endorse Dr. Oz. First of all Oz is a wonderful guy who really worked hard and was a very good candidate, but he WAS LONG IN THE RACE before I ever Endorsed him, they had NOTHING to do with it, he was not a “denier” (his mistake!), & I was not at all ANGRY. Fake News!

…219 WINS against 16 LOSSES IN THE GENERAL ELECTION, and yet the Fake News writes only unrecognizable junk. No wonder they are all doing sooo badly!

Now that the Election in Florida is over, and everything went quite well, shouldn’t it be said that in 2020, I got 1.1 Million more votes in Florida than Ron D got this year, 5.7 Million to 4.6 Million? Just asking?

Fake news mafia newest disinfo campaign: blame 45 for the results. Blame him for what, firing nancy pelosi, on the verge of retiring schumer. In an off cycle year we are taking the house majority and likely the senate, all the while stopping bidens disastrous agenda. Now think how big the actual losses wouldve been if @realDonaldTrump hadnt put foot to ass for America. #FWK

While in certain ways yesterday’s election was somewhat disappointing, from my personal standpoint it was a very big victory - 219 WINS and 16 Losses in the General - Who has ever done better than that?

Calls the vote rigged: fraud

Don Bolduc was a very nice guy, but he lost tonight when he disavowed, after his big primary win, his longstanding stance on Election Fraud in the 2020 Presidential Primary. Had he stayed strong and true, he would have won, easily. Lessons Learned!!!

To the Great People of Arizona, don’t leave the line until you VOTE.

Calls the vote rigged: steal

People of Arizona: Don’t get out of line until you cast your vote. They are trying to steal the election with bad Machines and DELAY. Don’t let it happen!

Calls the vote rigged: fraud

Same thing is happening with Voter Fraud as happened in 2020???

They are now saying that about 20% of the so-called Voting Machines in Maricopa County are not counting the Votes that have been placed in the Machine. Only Republican areas? WOW! Kari Lake, Blake Masters, and all others are being greatly harmed by this disaster. Can’t let this happen, AGAIN!!! I believe Attorney General Mark Brnovich is on the case, big time. He has a chance to be the biggest hero of them all, and at the same time save our Country from this Cancer from within!!!

Maricopa County in Arizona looks like a complete Voter Integrity DISASTER. Likewise Detroit (of course!), Pennsylvania, and other places. Not being covered by the Fake News Media!

The Absentee Ballot situation in Detroit is REALLY BAD. People are showing up to Vote only to be told, “sorry, you have already voted.” This is happening in large numbers, elsewhere as well. Protest, Protest, Protest!

Another big voter tabulation problem in Arizona. Sound familiar???

EVERYBODY, GET OUT AND VOTE. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Reports are coming in from Arizona that the Voting Machines are not properly working in predominantly Republican/Conservative areas. Can this possibly be true when a vast majority of Republicans waited for today to Vote? Here we go again? The people will not stand for it!!!

Join me as I go through my list of inspiring candidates from around the Country that we need to get out and VOTE for tomorrow!

How this page is made

Newsdesk, the newsroom tool behind the show, reads every one of Trump’s posts for endorsements (“Complete and Total Endorsement” and the like). Claude, an AI model made by Anthropic, picks out who and for which race, and a pick only counts once its quote is found word for word in his post. Every pick links to his posts.

Results come from Wikipedia’s election results, which Newsdesk reads itself. For the few races it can’t find there, Claude searches the web, and those say Found with AI help. Races are looked up again the morning after the vote, then every 6 hours for a week, and each result links to its source. A count can still change until it’s certified.

Every race, his or not, comes from Wikipedia’s pages for the year’s Senate, governor and House elections, where editors mark each winner as the race is called. Newsdesk reads them itself, with no AI, and a call shows here once two reads in a row agree, so one taken back within minutes never shows.
