The problem here is that this doesn't hinge in a single State. By my count, you would need to do this in at least 3 States to pull it off, and you would also need to go and prove all the allegations happened, which is a high bar.

PA, MI and WI and AZ all have majority-Republican legislatures. That's a very low bar.

Bunch of weak fools

Biden President not Trump

[Millennial_Messiah]

On Jan 20, 2021, trump would be out of office if election results were not certified.

I believe Nancy Pelosi would become president in that case.

It wouldn't be too hard to sell to someone who already made up their mind.

Facing the wrath of MAGAlandia is a thing too. I don't like the tightrope Republicans are walking right now.

you'd have to prove it to the courts... they would be sued for not certifying the election, and they would have to prove that there were good grounds for doing so

That's what I keep hearing, but at that point we would essentially have renegade states attempting to annul an election. Any rando act of violence could send things seriously awry. Trump and the GOP are playng with fire.

attacking the electoral ins utions was always that, though... but more so in the court of public opinion than the actual courts, which so far have been proving most of their claims to be meritless. they've already had 4 suits tossed against NV for instance

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 bull

[InRareForm]

Aren't they essentially just trying to find a maga judge at this point?

[Leetonidas]

China and Russia are laughing at us... Trump being a whiny makes our country look weak af. Not surprised though that the Russian operative continues to destroy America

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.

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.

[InRareForm]

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

[Borosai]

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.
