They're placating the toddler in chief and his cult so they don't resent them in future elections. No one expects this to go anywhere.

many of the twitter rumors arent even making their way into court, such as the allegations of dead voters in NV... none of the 4 suits raised that, but doesnt mean trumpers at the highest levels arent continuing to peddle that bullshit

I get that the evidentiary burden isn't being met, I'm just wondering what happens when a court orders an election certified and that doesn't happen, for whatever reason.

You can still bet on trump winning lol

Small price to pay to prevent election results from overturning the will of the people. I guess it kinda depends on who the SOSs are.

then whoever is acting would be under the same gun. look at what happened with kim davis

Trump and his team have been openly planning these steps for months. They are premeditated actions, not reactions. That's what the U.S. is facing right now: a sitting president attempting to sabotage not only an election, but also the transition process.

There have to be consequences for attempting to cripple your own government because you lost an election, right? At the very least limit his executive power until he's finally evicted. Congress would need to act, and they won't. At the moment, the R party has no sense of ethics or spine to shut down their lame duck president.

Doesn't matter how it plays if it keeps them in power. 49 million Republicans will pump their fists and say they've saved the USA.

One side seems *not* to be open to accepting adverse procedural results and facing its fully-lathered up base.

Republican will to power trumps adherence to the law if there's any chance to cheat and win, jmo. Leaving any means untried will be looked on as treasonous betrayal by the GOP's feral base.

One would think. I wouldn't underestimate Trump's contumaciousness or the GOP's.
