Neither the Republican organization, nor the Democrat Organization did anything of the sort.
The headline should differentiate that it was an individual who was a republican who raised the legal challenge and not anything to do with the official party or Trump. They clarified it much later on in the article, but as I said, it's deliberately misleading.
Bollocks! The word organisation was not in the headline. Anybody with developed comprehension skills understood what was meant. Again, for the hard of thinking, the headline was correct.

Fiction again. The quote allegedly came from some who were present. Ivanka or Malania might say he didn't make the remark. Surprise!

Finally you got something right. The Constitution gives the states the right to organise their own elections. Systems vary widely.

Trump (and you if I recall) distrust votes counted after Election Day he wants counting to stop at midnight Tuesday their time. That never happens in the US, and neither does it happen here. All of Trump's ranting is despite the fact that voter fraud in the US is considered to be virtually non-existent.
On election night it's usual for the Republicans to take an early lead, rural districts are smaller and get their counts in quicker. The big urban, mainly Democrat, districts come in later. The concern is that if Trump is ahead at midnight he'll declare himself the winner by tweet. Twitter have said they won't permit that, but...
The best outcome will be for an absolute landslide against Trump from the get go so that he can't make a case that he won at any stage.
Then there's the Electoral College. The US voters do not get a direct vote as to who will be president. The electors of the Electoral college do that in December. Trump has asked Republican Governors to give him their Ellectoral College votes regardless of how their people vote. Some states have laws covering this, others do not..
Interestingly he's apparently building another wall around the White House.
Not long now. I got some of this in...

4 separate sources have confirmed the story.
as did many different news agencies
The Associated Press, New York Times, Fox News and Washington Post quickly confirmed Goldberg’s reporting.
The Post added several related details, in addition to Trump describing fallen soldiers as “losers.” “In one account, the president told senior advisers that he didn’t understand why the U.S. government placed such value on finding soldiers missing in action because they had performed poorly and gotten caught and deserved what they got, according to a person familiar with the discussion.”
What’s more, other sources have claimed that Trump dismisses the value of military service. Michael Cohen testified in 2018 that Trump admitted faking bone spurs to avoid serving in Vietnam and told him, “You think I’m stupid? I wasn’t going to Vietnam.”

Ha! I've just finished my can from the holy chalice to invoke the spirit of the American people to vote for whoever the other guy is.

If someone refers to 'Republicans', conventional understanding is that they are referring to the official republican party.
The fact the the article doesn't clarify this until near the end is wholly deceptive.

Interesting. There were huge numbers of ballots parked in post offices in marginal districts going nowhere. A federal judge has ordered that post offices be cleared of all ballots and the ballots be delivered to electoral offices by 3PM.
Update:
The USPS did not comply with the court order and have been ordered to appear in court Wednesday US time.

That’s what TRUMP was warning people about, potential for fraud and loss via a dysfunctional USPS. (Their international dept is great with bike parts to NZ but they have poor rep in domestic USA)
That's unfortunate for you Laava. If you are looking for fellow-sufferers, there is undoubtedly a support group for you somewhere. Good luck with your search. (Or not, I don't really care) :-)

Trump was making crap up and then tried to shaft the USPS to actually make it happen
