Where Does the Election Really Stand? What the Media Won’t Tell You
TTN Staff
Contrary to what the media prefers to tell their readers this election is far from over. Results have yet to be certified and electoral voters still need to make their choices before the American people know exactly who will be sworn in on Inauguration Day. The Trump campaign, as well as the RNC, have initiated lawsuits across multiple states regarding voter fraud and voter observation allegations. Until the lawsuits have settled and states have completed their recounts, this election remains a mystery.
