If President Donald Trump loses his re-election legal battle, Kiri Chamberlin is concerned the country will lose its sense of fair elections as well as Christian-based morals and ethics.
That’s why Chamberlin traveled from Manhattan to attend the Nov. 14 March for Trump rally in Washington, D.C. last Saturday, which was organized in response to the Associated Press and other media outlets naming Democratic challenger Joe Biden the president-elect. Biden has garnered 306 electoral votes to Trump’s 232.
“There is a sea of spirited patriots here supporting our dear President Trump and our dear Vice President (Mike) Pence,” she said.

Chamberlin joined thousands of conservatives who walked from Freedom Plaza to the U.S. Supreme Court across from the Capitol as Trump briefly rode by the crowd in a motorcade.
“There are so many positive reasons why this rally is important to me, but the most immediately striking reason is feeling banded together with like-minded lovers of justice seekers and freedom fighters,” Chamberlin told the NYC Gazette.
In New York, the Associated Press reported Biden won with 56.6% of the vote over Trump’s 41.9%.
Bipartisan election officials across the country have reported no significant voter fraud, the New York Times reports. However, Trump wired $3 million to Wisconsin election officials Tuesday, requesting a recount of votes cast in Milwaukee and Dane counties, which are Democratic enclaves. According to media reports, Trump's campaign is alleging that some absentee ballots were illegally cast. The recount is expected to be completed by Dec. 1.
“Our side means business,” Chamberlin said about the demand for a recount. “We can be peaceful and civil in doing so during such times as gathering, explaining and sharing our views.”
The Associated Press reported that a second Georgia county has uncovered a batch of ballots that were not counted. The deadline for Georgia's hand count was noon Wednesday.
"What's at stake if President Trump loses the election is best policy at all organizational levels," Chamberlin said.
Trump threatened that he would not share an approved COVID-19 vaccine with the state of New York after Gov. Andrew Cuomo said he wouldn’t trust a vaccine that is issued under the Trump administration, according to media reports.
But CBS reported this week that Cuomo is backpedaling and considering suing if doses are withheld.
