Even billionaire Republican donor Sheldon Adelson appears to be signaling to President Donald Trump that he should throw in the towel on his pathetic voter fraud crusade. “(Trump) does a disservice to his more rabid supporters by insisting that he would have won the Nov. 3 election absent voter fraud. That’s simply false,” an opinion piece written by the editorial board of Adelson’s Las Vegas newspaper, The Las Vegas Review-Journal, reads. “Mr. Trump lost this election because he ultimately didn’t attract enough votes and failed to win a handful of swing states that broke his way in 2016.” On Sunday, the paper, which endorsed Trump for a second term, declared “Biden Wins” on its front cover, while also displaying President-elect Joe Biden’s projected electoral votes. Adelson and his wife reportedly donated $75 million to a super PAC to help President Trump’s re-election effort.
