The election fraud lawsuits have started again.

But Trump chose to stoke the flames Wednesday morning, posting on Truth Social that “Pennsylvania is cheating, and getting caught, at large scale levels rarely seen before.”

“Law enforcement must act, NOW!” he added.

Bucks County officials confirmed to NBC Philadelphia that they had been notified of the lawsuit, but did not provide further comment.

    If you wait until the last minute you might have to wait in line with the other procrastinators. This is not cheating or fraud it’s just common sense. But it tracks for Boomers to throw a tantrum if the world doesn’t magically accommodate them and they have to wait for anything.

      They did not have any facts to present but they feel like cheating is occurring. That’s enough for a lawsuit right?
