    And this is the Twitter thread where Nate Cohn calls out Nate Silver more directly:

      Voting technology company Smartmatic is threatening legal action against Fox News after accusing the network of participating in a "disinformation campaign" regarding the election. Fox News is now scurrying to debunk all of the false election claims made by their hosts and guests. The Loser-In-Chief is not going to be pleased about this. Where is a loyal Trump supporter supposed to get their "news" from now that Fox is being forced to tell the truth?

        a good site to goto is https://electoral-vote.com/ courtesy of Jay. the political wire banner is even better.

        there is actually voting machine companies suing Trump for defamation or something similar.


        French are bastards. if you have ever played a zombie game based in France, and I have, you will realize they are just as ruthless as anyone. I really don't see the socialism angle there. years I played that video game with them. and they are even worse than we are in the game. of survival.

        electoral-vote.com should be something you check every day you wake up. and political wire is something you should hit every minute you are bored, which is often. depending on your political affiliation of course.

              So now that we see the failed coup attempts, the crackpot conspiracy theories, the stonewalling, the countless attempts at undermining the incoming administration, the mass firings, and the near total embarrassment of our country in these final days of the Dopey regime, how can this blatant attempt at destroying our democracy be prevented in the future?

              - Should the timeline for the old administration leaving be shortened to "as soon as possible"?
              - Is this as good a reason for eliminating the Electoral College as we've ever seen? If the Electoral College does survive, should the timeline for certification be moved up?
              - Should a sitting president's attempts to undermine democracy by "reaching out" to state officials be an indictable offense?
              - Should there be an amendment to the Constitution that gives immediate access to sensitive materials to the new administration?
              - Should states be forced to count all mail-in votes on or before Election Day?

                I don't think a rushed transition is a great idea in most cases.
                Probably, but I can't see it getting enough states to support it to happen
                Can we indict sitting presidents? I thought this was somewhat believed to be a no. I think it's also a case by case basis.
                I don't think you get enough state support for anything that is obviously a reaction to Trump. I also don't think this is the type of thing that should need a Constitutional Amendment.
                I don't think the fed govt should force this to happen, not sure they can even, but I think now that states see this, and believe that mail-in balloting isn't going away, that they should adopt it.
                I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert...

                    When presented with lawsuits, both Fox Business (Lou Dobbs) and Newsmax RETRACTED any claim they made about SmartMatic and Dominion Voting Systems, both saying they had no factual evidence to support any claim made about fraudulent voting.

                    So basically they both spew BS, but when presented with reality, they backtrack VERY quickly.

                      Where is a loyal Trump supporter supposed to get their preferred "news" from now that Fox is being forced to tell the truth?

                          My dad told me the other day that Fox is getting too liberal. If he wanted to hear liberal news he would choose a different channel.

                          Needless to say, he and I don't exactly see eye to eye on politics. We manage to have a healthy relationship otherwise though.

                              "Too liberal" = not telling them what they want to hear.

                                Agree, and he admitted as much. He wanted to hear conservative news only.
