Corey Lewandowski managed to speak louder than the music. “this is an opportunity to shed light on what is going on inside this building,” he said, pointing to a new court order regarding election observing. tbc there is NO evidence so far of vote fraud or miscounting in Philly

the new court order being touted as a “win” by Trump campaign does not change anything about ballots but allows poll observers to be closer. “we’re going to start watching what’s going on not from 30 feet away, not from 100 feet away, from 6 feet away,” said corey lewandowski.

Patrick Pellicciotti, 64, a former iron worker is a republican poll watcher. He said he’s concerned that poll workers are throwing away Trump ballots (to be clear, there is ZERO evidence this is occurring). “They’re so far away we can’t see nothing,” he told me.

O’Rourke told me he is very specific about the songs he plays — there’s been a lot of Beyoncé, Kendrick, Childish Gambino etc — and choosing Party by Beyoncé was no accident. “there are messages in the song,” he said. “freedom is something we’re fighting for.”

the Count Every Vote rally has been energy all day — dancing, flags, drums — while the MAGA rally has fluctuated from a handful to disappearing to now a sizable energized few dozen with a bunch of new Trump campaign flags, on opposite corners outside the Philly convention center

things getting more tense here in philly — guy in the denim jacket has a “proud boy” patch and protesters are arguing more directly with each other, with a metal divider in between them.

Pam Bondi and Corey Lewandowski back again outside the Philly convention center and again i could not hear a single word because they were completely drowned out by the chants of “count every vote” and “this is what democracy looks like”
