It’s also worth noting that the Rep observers identified 160k votes they consider suspect.
I think most (alt-right) Republicans will consider every vote for Biden suspect  :P

Given the fact that in Milwaukee County 317k people voted for Biden I'm surprised they only found so few, only just over half the votes for Biden  ;)

Too funny, the irony:
President-elect Joe Biden saw a small net gain in votes as Milwaukee County, Wisconsin's largest, certified its presidential general election results Friday after a recount requested by the Trump campaign.
The results showed a net gain of 132 votes for Biden


132 votes difference is a small number to effect the results, but it shows sloppiness of the election staff and makes you wonder.

The Republicans have brought a number of lawsuits to adjudicate their claims with respect to those ballots. I think most of the issues raised have been unsuccessfully litigated in other jurisdictions. Apparently not everyone behaved as an adult during the recount.

Here's is an excerpt:

"When one observer got close to her with his mask underneath his nose. “I asked him to cover his nose and he called me a few choice words including Nazi,” she says. “When I went to get security, he apparently had a few more choice words for me. Then he walked by again, apparently with a Republican Party attorney and clicked his heels and did a full Heil Hitler salute for me while the attorney laughed.”

I'm curious, was that a news report or simply an opinion piece?

Perhaps you would like to spend the time finding something you deem better, and posting it.

It’s also worth noting this came from a suspect of (just now) 3013 suspect posts.  ;)
So I'll ask you, as I asked Slobodan who's not answered: You believe Trump won the election and there was massive voter fraud?

"This site not available in your country"   :'(
Well the headline and the first paragraph is more than enough, the bold isn't opinion, it's fact for those who have difficulty separating two to dismiss the parts that are editorial (those who's sole propose is to throw baby out with bathwater):
The painful, futile, ridiculous Wisconsin recount
Misinformation, maskless observers, poop emojis and a Nazi salute — this is what democracy looks like in 2020
What better way to spend a snowy, slushy Thanksgiving week than gathering during a pandemic with your community to recount ballots in a presidential election that was not remotely close?

In the only two Wisconsin counties where President Donald Trump paid for a recount — Dane and Milwaukee — there is no doubt whom the voters preferred. Joe Biden won Dane County with 260,185 votes to Trump’s 78,800, according to the verified county canvass reported on the Wisconsin Elections Commission website. In Milwaukee County the vote was 317,270 for Biden to 134,357 for Trump, according to the canvass results reported to the Elections Commission.

I suggest you learn how to read and research, and then you will find the answer to your question.  Are you capable?

Duly noted.

For what?  That I'm not interested in trying to find a better story than the wacky one you linked?  Ok, I'm fine with that.

Going to try these out next time I’m in BC!

When you're there, I recommend the Robert Bateman gallery across the harbour from the Empress.

When we went to Tofino a few years ago, I was surprised to learn of the tsunami damage in Port Alberni resulting from the 1964 earth quake in Alaska. A cousin I've never met was living in Anchorage at the time.

You should stop and visit Cathedral Grove on the way to Port Alberni.

That's a real silly answer.
The question was if you believed Trump won the election and there was massive voter fraud.
If you are not willing to share that no research can show how you think about this.

How did he censor it? I was able to follow the link and read the article...

"He" being who...?

You were able to follow the link and read the article because (emphasis mine): "The original article is now deleted from the Johns Hopkins website ... for some reason. Luckily the internet is forever and it's available via the Wayback Machine."

... Censorship, Soviet style, is the method of choice for what?

For winning the election and suppressing dissent.

This link might work for you.

Here's another excerpt...

"The absurdity of Republican arguments for throwing out votes cast in good faith and according to the rules was exposed when the attorney leading the Wisconsin recount effort, Jim Troupis, was reduced to arguing that his own and his wife's votes should be thrown out as illegal. Troupis, a former Dane County judge, and his wife voted in person during Wisconsin's early voting period, as did tens of thousands of other Wisconsinites. Republicans are arguing that all early in-person votes should be thrown out because voters did not fill out an absentee ballot application before voting (instead they filled out the same information on ballot envelopes). Troupis' name appears on an exhibit he submitted to the Dane County board of canvassers purporting to show "illegal" votes, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported. He declined to comment on why he voted in a way he deemed illegal."
