Some people are now discussing the possibility of faithless electors giving Trump the presidency. Considering that the most likely scenario of a Biden victory (I'm not saying that a Biden victory is likely) is 270 Biden to 268 Trump, which would require one faithless elector for a tie which would give the presidency to Trump.

In general, I'd rather not give the democrats any arguments of Trump being illegitimate, but they'll say that no matter what happens and a faithless elector giving Trump the presidency would probably create the most salt we will ever see.

I guess its possible (pretty sure one flipped last time), but hoping for it is not a plan, its the absence of one.

Oh of course it's not a plan, much like most things right now it's sheer speculation. But having hope for a worst case scenario is not a bad idea.
