@Matt, VOX is just the Spanish far right party these people vote for, but the conspiracy theories comes from what they read in American forums, FOX News and Twitter accounts from Trump fans.
Apparently, they're basing that theory in some debunked fake news that come from a typo in a CNN report that counted 100K more votes than it should.

The vote counters in Clark county apparently refuse to count until they're all counted. Only counting from 10:00 am until 4:00 pm.... They have thousands to count.

Trump has apparently filed lawsuits in three states (PA GA, and I believe WY) to stop vote counting, and is threatening to file one in Nevada, alleging voter fraud.
I like what PA's Attorney General said: "They need to stop listening to Guiliani."
Also, CNN hasn't updated their onscreen info in over a day, still listing Biden at 253. According to some other sources, Biden is somewhere in the 260s now.

Going off what Matt said earlier about living in a red state, I am in the same situation. And I have relatives I thought were sane, sound people supporting him. One of my cousins comes off like he thinks Trump is the Messiah (more a moron Anti-Christ, if you ask me), or something.
I've seen posts on Facebook by people who believe everything Trump says, no matter how outrageous or blatantly false it is. Who claim Biden has dementia and/or earpieces with people telling him what to say. But completely overlook that its Trump who has issues.
Trump offered his support to a man who shot three teenagers because he believed (falsely, or at least not provable) they were the ones who vandalized the Trump sign in his yard. Seriously. Trump believes shooting 3 people over a fucking sign was justified. Fortunately, the teens were not killed, and I hope they sue him for everything he's worth. Trump is clearly a narcissist, an egomaniac, AND a sociopath.
I still believe that Trump is going to fight to the very last minute, and actually be physically removed from the White House by the Secret Service when his term is up. Then try to sue his way back in.

Have you guys seen this guy?
Best Trump impressionist out there by far. He's got the cadence, rambling and habitual Trump non-sequiturs down, you close your eyes and it's him talking nonsense about Scooby-Doo.
Also it's not mean-spirited, which is refreshing in a weird way. The guy said in an interview that he's trying to channel "Rally Trump" and his hypnotic charisma with these kinds of crowds.
Having being raised evangelical, the guy said he instantly got his appeal (which I obviously don't) and that while we may justifiably think he's the gaudiest man alive to these people he's the coolest guy they've ever seen.
And that's why they adore him, there's not a single ironic soul in those crowds going nuts over Trump dancing to "YMCA".
Anyways, of all the think pieces going around these days this is the one that actually made me think the most, there it goes (from Slate):

In the "That Seems Sane" department, here's White House official Public Liaison for the Faith and Opportunity Initiative Paula White leading a victory prayer for Trump which devolves into her speaking in tongues.

I said the 10th for Nevada, but they've just said they could still be counting votes all the way up to the 12th...
That said, they hope to have the majority done by Saturday or Sunday.

I'm not worried about Nevada. The remaining votes to be counted are coming from a heavily Democratic area of the state. It's just irritating that they wouldn't work harder to get a result earlier.

If their goal was to invoke the ambiance of an involuntary psychiatric unit, they've succeeded in spades... you've got one agitated person ranting paranoid nonsense, while another guy paces aimlessly back and forth behind her.

I prefer a close race where Biden wins, Trump spends two months fighting the results in court to eventually loose. If Biden was elected with overwhelming results then Trump would spend the next two months like a vindictive tenant that doesn’t want the security deposit in January.
