‘We want the answer tonight’: In epic final day Trump hits inefficient elections, endorsed by Rogan

High-energy GOP candidate Donald Trump appeared at multiple final-day rallies and picked up a key endorsement from podcaster Joe Rogan.

While the Kamala Harris campaign insisted the results of the 2024 presidential election wouldn’t be known for several days,  Trump in a campaign stop in Michigan in the early hours of Tuesday morning, said: “We don’t want to wait 10 days, three days … We want the answer tonight.”

Trump, speaking at 2 a.m. local time in Grand Rapids, lamented that modern voting machines have replaced paper ballots in many voting districts:

“Maybe it will take these machines that we pay so much money for two weeks,” Trump said when discussing the election result. “Can you believe it? You know, if you used very highly sophisticated watermarked papers … very sophisticated. More sophisticated than the machines … and if you used voter ID … and you in addition to voter ID you have a proof of the fact that you’re a citizen of our country, which would be nice … you would have the results tabulated like in France.”

Trump noted that Fance “had 37 million people. The results were tabulated at 9:30 in the evening. They had a winner, they had a loser, and they went home.”

Trump added that paper ballots also would save money:

“Eight percent would be the cost compared to the cost of these very highly complex machines. Old fashion paper is much less expensive, and you know what, it’s more accurate.”

Harris campaign Chair Jen O’Malley Dillon had lectured the media: “We may not know the results of this election for several days, but we are very focused on staying calm and confident throughout this period as the process goes through.”

Dillon said that most election results from Georgia and North Carolina should be in by the end of election night, but there only would be “partial” results from Wisconsin, Arizona, and Pennsylvania.

In 2020, the Fox News “Decision Desk” was more like a disaster area. That seems to be the new normal at Fox, as Arnon Mishkin, who heads the 2024 Decision Desk, who said final election results may not be in until Saturday.

“The race seems very, very close. It is dependent on a number of states, like Pennsylvania, that we believe are going to be reporting in a pattern similar to the way they have reported in the past. So I’d say, the over/under is Saturday. Which was when the call was made last time. Which is when Pennsylvania is likely to come in.”

Human Events editor Jack Posobiec chimed in on how the Harris campaign wound up its evening: “Just like in 2016, the female Democrat candidate has chosen to end her campaign in Philadelphia with music acts that appeal to older, white women. And once again, black men were not in attendance. Look at the difference in Kamala’s tone and energy from upbeat to depressed between her morning and evening rallies today. Someone gave her some bad news between Allentown and Philadelphia.”

Meanwhile, podcaster Joe Rogan, while promoting his Monday interview with Elon Musk on “The Joe Rogan Experience”, endorsed Trump.

“If it wasn’t for him, we’d be f–ked,” Rogan said of Musk. “He makes what I think is the most compelling case for Trump you’ll hear, and I agree with him every step of the way.”

“For the record, yes, that’s an endorsement of Trump,” Rogan said.

Rogan continued: “There’s this other narrative that drives me crazy is that [Trump] is going to destroy democracy. So in order to destroy democracy, we have to install a president without a primary, we have to have a candidate that is the least liked vice president of all time — the least popular vice president of all time — and then use gaslighting and the full force of the media machine to turn her into the future and hope and she’s going to be change even though she’s the sitting vice president.”
