A president can't just claim contested states and expect that to stick if the certified results, however suspicious, say otherwise. That's a PR move with no legal weight.

Here's what needs to happen before he does that:

  1. Lose according to the "official" results.
  2. Go to court with reams of credible evidence of fraud to challenge results.
  3. Lose in court on something I can't imagine.
  4. Now, now we go nuclear Article 2 in the state legislatures of MI, WI and PA.

We're not even at step 1 yet.

Beautiful summary. A civil war may solve a lot of things in this country, like the indoctrination and fake need media.

Don't call it civil war, it's trial by combat!

Article II

Section 1

The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same Term, be elected, as follows

Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress

In other words, the state legislatures in MI, WI and PA, all Republican controlled btw, can on their own initiative name the state Electoral College electors. If the bullshit gets piled too high and Trump can't get relief from the courts, this is the nuclear option. All three legislatures can name pro-Trump electors if there's too much fraud to do this normally. They vote Trump when the Electoral College meets. Game over.
