‘An embarrassment’: Biden criticizes Trump’s refusal to concede Pompeo promises smooth transition to ‘second Trump administration’ Conservative supreme court justices suggest Obamacare will be upheld The misinformation media machine amplifying Trump’s election lies Sign up to receive First Thing – our daily briefing by email 9.32am GMT While we are on the topic of alleged voter fraud, it is worth noting again that here are some of the key Republican talking points, and why they are wrong about them. Mail-in ballots are perfectly legal: while the number of mail-in ballots in the 2020 election were at a much larger scale than previously, mail-in ballots have been part of the US election system for years. It has also always been the case that some states allow ballots to arrive and be counted after the election provided that they are postmarked and dated on or before election day. Trump’s contention that these are automatically somehow illegal ballots is completely false. 9.26am GMT The New York Times took on the epic job of doing a ring-round of every state’s election officials to ask them about voter fraud, and found zip. Their piece is littered with choice quotes: “There’s a great human capacity for inventing things that aren’t true about elections,” said Frank LaRose, a Republican who serves as Ohio’s secretary of state. “The conspiracy theories and rumors and all those things run rampant. For some reason, elections breed that type of mythology.” Steve Simon, a Democrat who is Minnesota’s secretary of state, said: “I don’t know of a single case where someone argued that a vote counted when it shouldn’t have or didn’t count when it should. There was no fraud.” 9.21am GMT The 2020 election unfolded smoothly across the country and without any widespread irregularities, according to state officials and election experts, report the Associated Press. It makes a stark contrast to the baseless claims of fraud being levelled by outgoing president Donald Trump following his defeat. “The 2020 general election was one of the smoothest and most well-run elections that we have ever seen, and that is remarkable considering all the challenges,” said Ben Hovland, a Democrat appointed by Trump to serve on the Election Assistance Commission, which works closely with officials on election administration. 9.16am GMT A postal worker whose allegations of ballot tampering have been the basis of Republicans’ calls for investigations has reportedly recanted his story. Democrats on the House oversight committee have said that Richard Hopkins, the worker who claimed in a signed affidavit that a supervisor at the US Postal Service (USPS) in Erie, Pennsylvania, instructed staff to tamper with ballots by backdating ones that arrived late, recanted this allegations yesterday in an interview with investigators for the USPS Inspector General. 9.11am GMT Arwa Mahdawi has this for us today, asking: Is this the death of Fox News’s love affair with Donald Trump? Poor Donald Trump. Not only has he lost the election, it looks as if he has lost the love of his life. I’m not talking about Melania – although some rumours have it that she is “counting the minutes” until she can get a divorce (which she has denied). I’m talking about Fox News. For years, Trump and Fox News have been in a committed, loving relationship. Recently, however, there has been trouble in paradise, with Trump complaining the network is a “much different place than it used to be”. The relationship might have been salvaged, but then Fox News did something unforgivable: it flirted with real journalism. On election day, it was the first major outlet to declare Joe Biden would win Arizona, sending the Trump administration into a meltdown. Since then, Fox News has continued to infuriate the White House by refusing to encourage Trump’s delusion that he won the election. On Monday, for example, it cut away from the White House press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany, when she claimed that the Democrats had encouraged voter fraud. “Whoa, whoa, whoa,” the Fox News anchor said to the viewers. “I can’t in good countenance continue showing you this.” Related: Is this the death of Fox News’s love affair with Donald Trump? | Arwa Mahdawi 9.08am GMT Here’s a reminder of how the two sides have been approaching this election outcome. Joe Biden described the reaction of Donald Trump and the Republicans as ‘an embarrassment’. Secretary of state Mike Pompeo meanwhile, baselessly spoke about ‘a second Trump administration’. He may have had a slight twinkle in his eye as he said it. 9.01am GMT Welcome to our coverage of US politics for Wednesday. This time last week we woke up with the US election too close to call. Seven days later we know Joe Biden is set for the White House, despite the best efforts of the Trump administration to deny the results. Here’s a summary of where we are: Related: ‘An embarrassment’: Joe Biden criticizes Trump’s refusal to concede election Continue reading…
