Trump wins Arizona, completing sweep of all seven battleground states, AP declares

Source: Associated Press

Donald Trump has won the presidential election in Arizona, the Associated Press declared on Saturday, completing a clean sweep of all seven battleground states and locking in a decisive electoral college victory over the Democratic vice-president, Kamala Harris.

Trump, who had secured the 270 electoral college votes needed to win the White House by early Wednesday, now has what is expected to be a final total of 312 votes to Harris’ 226.

The win returned the state to the Republican column after Joe Biden’s 2020 victory and marked Trump’s second victory in Arizona since 2016. Trump had campaigned on border security and the economy, tying Harris to inflation and record illegal border crossings during Biden’s administration.

Trump has also won the swing states of Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina, Wisconsin and Nevada. In 2020, Biden defeated Trump by winning six of the seven swing states – he narrowly lost North Carolina – and won 306 electoral college votes to Trump’s 232.

Did you read the link?

I agree, he likely going to be installed, Dems will lie down. However please read the link, also remember truthisall from the Bush era, he has a website TDMSresearch. His top article states we are one of the few countries that don't do paper ballots.

So many theories and reading what he wrote sounds exactly like what was said in 2020. If he feels so strongly he can pay for the recounts himself. Problem is no one would release the actual counts vs what the machines said, because if there was more than a .1 % error it would wreck our voting system top to bottom.

In Georgia we have paper ballots at least.

I know trump will be installed and Dems will all just lay down but I'm not going to.

Either a massive vote tabulation scheme-scam or Kamala was just too strong of a woman and too NON-WHITE for most of the Electorate.

Kamala is currently at 70,916,946 votes (48.0%), Trump is at 74,650,754 votes (50.5%). That's a difference of only 3,733,808 votes. California, Seattle and other areas are still counting mail-in ballots. There are currently 4,963,569 ballots left to count in California alone. https://electionresults.sos.ca.gov/unprocessed-ballots-status

How do the Republicans always win every toss-up? Why are they even considered toss-ups?

15. Republicans don't always win them. Biden won them in 2020.

Key to Biden's victory were his wins in the Democratic-leaning Rust Belt states of Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, which Trump narrowly carried in 2016 and whose combined 46 electoral votes were enough to swing the election to either candidate. Biden won Nevada and also became the first Democrat to win a presidential election in Georgia since 1992 and in Arizona since 1996, as well as Nebraska's 2nd congressional district since 2008.

President Biden wins a few toss-ups somehow and is elected. Seven out of seven toss-ups and Trump gets them all? Statistically very unlikely.

What do you mean by "statistically very unlikely"? What statistics are you referring to?
