    Snippet: WASHINGTON (AP) — With Donald Trump facing felony charges over his attempts to overturn the 2020 election, the former president is flooding the airwaves and his social media platform with distortions, misinformation and unfounded conspiracy theories about his defeat.

    It’s part of a multiyear effort to undermine public confidence in the American electoral process as he seeks to chart a return to the White House in 2024. There is evidence that his lies are resonating: New polling from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research shows that 57% of Republicans believe Democrat Joe Biden was not legitimately elected as president.

    Here are the facts about Trump’s loss in the last presidential election:

    REVIEWS AND RECOUNTS CONFIRM BIDEN’S VICTORY
    Biden’s victory over Trump in 2020 was not particularly close. He won the Electoral College with 306 votes to Trump’s 232, and the popular vote by more than 7 million ballots.

    Because the Electoral College ultimately determines the presidency, the race was decided by a few battleground states. Many of those states conducted recounts or thorough reviews of the results, all of which confirmed Biden’s victory. (snip-more)

    A lot of times I see these in my AP morning newsletters. Today I didn’t catch this headline, so I copied Scottie’s, and put it in a new browser tab. Voila’!

  2. Hello Everyone. The missed link happened due to trying to post from my old iPad as a text message rather than a mail message. See on my new iPhone I can post something I am reading by hitting share story, then selecting the Scotties Playtime button. That sends it via Gmail to the site to be posted. But on my old iPad it won’t do that. I have to hit share, then mail, then in the address bar type an S, then scroll to Scottie Playtime Post address, then hit send to send it to the site for posting. So I wondered if I could do it via the one button method. To do that, I had to set it up as a text. Well after doing a few that way I found out that doing it that way doesn’t include the link. Sorry everyone. Hugs
