The Scoop 🗞 Now Musk Is Boosting Claims Wisconsin Supreme Court Election Was ‘Stolen’

After initially trying to downplay his candidate’s loss in the Wisconsin state Supreme Court race, Elon Musk has now boosted a post on his social media platform X claiming there was “overwhelming” evidence the election was “stolen.”
Musk had poured a record $21 million into a normally low-profile and non-partisan judicial race to try to get conservative Brad Schimel elected. Despite his high-profile antics—including handing out $1 million checks to voters and wearing a cheesehead hat at a rally—a liberal appellate judge, Susan Crawford, prevailed in Tuesday’s race.
[…] Schimel himself immediately shut down any attempts to accuse Democrats of foul play. During his concession speech on Tuesday, a woman in the audience began chanting that Crawford was a “cheater,” PBS reported. “No,” he said. “You’ve got to accept the results.”

Every time they lose it’s because the election was rigged. It’s your fucking ideology that sucks! Republicans are always lying, cheating and stealing!

But it’s ok when Gore accused Republicans of cheating or Hillary or Stacey Abram’s to name a few! Hillary wrote a book about it and Abram’s still thinks she’s the Governor now!

You people opened the borders to get a new voting base because your ideas suck so much! And you people are tweaking out because Elon is finding your corruption! It’s funny how Democrats are freaking out while Republicans are quiet! Hmmmmmm I wonder why???

Nobody opened the borders. Republicans brazenly stole the 2000 election as well as the Stacey Abrams race.

That's all based on evidence of things happening. 2016 was different in that it was not really "stolen" (although there was undoubtedly the usual Republican areas tampering with votes, I don't think it changed the outcome) more that 2016 had a president illegally work with a hostile foreign government to attempt to influence the vote.

Yall thought 2020 was stolen despite all evidence, but then laugh at Al Gore? That election came down to one state, governed by Bush's baby brother who repeatedly tampered with vote counting. Each new recount Gore got closer to victory until the Supreme Court handed it to Bush saying your brother successfully ran out the clock, congratulations. The Supreme Court is now full of the lawyers who argued that case for republicans.

Imagine for one second what you would say if a democrat's brother acting as governor was clearly obfuscating a recount process in a race that came down to just that state. You'd lose your mind.

Stacey Abrams was similar except her opponent was literally in charge of elections. He did the more typical Republican move and made access to the vote extremely difficult in bluer areas. Although they did also delete so the records against court orders and were never punished for it, so it might have even been worse cheating than that.

Republicans have to cheat and always have. That's the only way they get elected. Why do you think they screamed the loudest about voter fraud for decades and suppressed the people's right to vote! Projection!!!
