Some people are missing the play here I think. Trump does NOT need 270. He merely needs to prevent Biden from reaching 270. Get a couple of states to fail certification, tossed out, etc. if Biden is below 270 trump wins
If neither candidate reaches the required 270 EV, then it basically defaults and each state gets 1 vote. Majority rules, and Trump wins. It’s a contingent election. Therefore Trump does not actually need 270 to win, he just needs Biden to also be below 270. If a state decides to abstain from the Electoral College, then Biden could potentially lose votes sending it to contingency

It is you, comrade, who doesn't seem to understand the play.
Trump needs to get in WITH AUTHORITY
Assuming we can trust our House members. Who's to say that they won't just vote with the "popular vote?"
I may be wrong, but I think the states are legally required to vote party line
I thought so thank you
That'd be interesting. If this is true, I'd love to see the reference for it.
I do not understand. Please explain.

Nice. Thanks.
