Stop the Steal is a movement/loosely organized group dedicated to supporting efforts by the Trump campaign to ensure that only legal ballots are used to determine the winner of the 2020 election.

I created this thread to provide updates on efforts by Joe Biden and the Democrat Party to steal the 2020 Presidential Election. If you are relying on the mainstream media for election news, then you may be under the mistaken impression that Joe Biden is already the President-Elect and Kamala Harris is already the Vice President-Elect but that is not the case. A candidate becomes the President-Elect or Vice President-Elect after one of the following events occur:

1. The candidate's opponent concedes the election. (Even then, the candidate technically has not been officially elected.)

2. The candidate wins the Electoral College election. (The news media does not have the power to declare a candidate the President-Elect.)

3. In the event of a tie in the Electoral College vote, the House of Representatives will declare the winner of the election. Each state's delegation of representatives gets one vote in this case. President Trump would almost certainly be reelected if there is a tie in the Electoral College vote because there are far more red states than blue states.

Please keep in mind that Al Gore mounted a 36 day court challenge, demanded, and received multiple recounts of Florida votes in the 2000 election. There is nothing wrong or unusual about filing suits to ensure fair elections. Democrats and Republicans both hire a large number of attorneys to handle potential court challenges to election results in closely contested elections and this election featured very close races in several battleground states.

Election irregularities have been widespread in the 2020 election and the Trump campaign will begin filing lawsuits during the coming week. One or more of those lawsuits will most likely be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court.

This election is far from over but the media, Democrats, and the Biden campaign hope to pressure Trump into conceding the election instead of ensuring that only legal votes are counted to determine the winner of each state election. Trump will probably be holding rallies in the battleground states as challenges make their way through the courts.

Trump needs to win Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, and either Wisconsin, Michigan, or Pennsylvania to win the election. 

Joe Biden currently leads in Arizona by less than 17,000 votes but Trump has been gaining with each update of the totals. Trump's chances of winning appear to be better than 50/50 at this point, without litigation. Biden has a lead of about 20,000 votes in Georgia, but 132,000 ballots with address changes from Fulton County (Atlanta) will probably be ruled invalid. Trump has solid leads in Alaska and North Carolina and it is not clear why these states have not already been called from Trump.
