Thanks to Some GOP Heroes
Several GOP leaders have stood up to President Trump in his effort to delegitimize the election of Joe Biden as our next President. This is not a risk free endeavor as the President attacks them by name, and his supporters then follow up with death threats and hate mail.

I think we have to acknowledge the special courage of Brad Raffensberger, Georgia’s Secretary of State and Brian Kemp, Georgia’s Governor as well as Doug Ducey, Arizona’s Governor in standing strong for the integrity of their state’s election systems. These were close elections that Trump lost and then demanded that the state’s Republican Governors and election officials change the count in his favor.
Just so we are all clear, Biden won the popular vote by over 7 million and the Electoral College count with 306. Yet 77% of Trump voters believe he won, while only 3% of Trump voters believe Biden won.
Trump has lost every recount and every lawsuit, of which there are many. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/12/04/donald-trump-in-court-443010 Yet the key Republican leaders in Congress cannot summon up the courage to tell the Emperor he is wearing no clothes. I know that he has loyal supporters, and you are worried about your political futures and those of the GOP if Trump runs amok, but you did take an oath to defend the Constitution, and the game is on, and you need to step up to the plate, not cower in silence.
Our grifter-in-chief meanwhile keeps collecting small dollar contributions from his loyalist true believers (over $200 million at last count) to fund his lawsuits and recounts and fund his future endeavors. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/12/04/trump-gop-fundraising-election-vote-fraud-claims.html
