He's not wrong, even with evidence both the courts and state legislatures know that if the vote is thrown out that liberals will riot and the media will crucify them. As much as we're hopeful that they'll do the right thing, at the end of the day they're biased against turning themselves into a target, they'd much rather be able to go home each night and have a peaceful life with their families.
No, if the election can't be certified in a state in time the state legislature will select electors, they can choose whoever they want for whatever reason and it's legal. Congress won't vote unless a single person fails to get 50% of whatever electoral college votes are accepted. Congress can also reject electors if there's fuckery afoot, but that won't happen since the house favors Biden. If the house does vote they vote once per delegation, but there's no law that they have to vote by party.
Basically it's all bullshit, the law allows all scenarios, this is not a constitutional crisis that needs fixing. The reason they claim that is because they're retards and don't realize that in the US the president is elected by the states, not by the people. State don't have to even have an election. That's why those laws protect states and not individual state run elections.
Lol, even if results stand they still can't do shit. The Senate will shut down anything substantial, internally the Democrats are fighting about how progressives lost them seats. The next election will all be republican gains. Trump avoided most of the economic impact from covid, but there's no way a Biden presidency wouldn't see a crash.
I think what you're missing is that the election isn't conducted by the federal government, it's conducted by the states. There's a handful of regulations that the federal government has, election is a specific day, there's civil rights requirements and equal access, but that's pretty much it. The only reason they where able to rule in 2000 was because florida had no standard that could be equally applied to all area, every vote they where checking was a judgement call. They where able to rule on the the late arriving ballots not because of its merits but because a judge can't overrule the state legislature.
Really this is up to the states, the state has broad liberty on how they select electors, they aren't required to have elections, and even now, after the election, the state legislature can choose to ignore it and just choose electors.
When was the last time they audited witnesses for ballots? It adds no security. Same thing with your signature, you aren't required to register in person, there's no guarantee you're the person who signed. Many people register their elderly parents and sign on their behalf. They don't recognize their children anymore but apparently have an opinion on who should be president.
No, no absentee ballots by mail. Everyone walks into a polling place. People overseas can use special polling locations at embassies and military bases where IDs can be checked, ballots guaranteed to be secret and not coerced, and ballots sent back to the states in secured containers.
Ya, but he only will need to toss out one of two. He also doesn't need to have a way to prove what the count should be, he just needs to prove there's fraud successfully in court to call the election in doubt. If the election is tossed the state legislature will be forced to select electors. That only has to happen once in one state for both sides to understand they need to secure our elections. They don't think it can happen in modern history, this needs to be the wakeup call that creates mandatory voter ID and no more mail votes nation wide. And Trump's the best person to do it since so many people hate him.
There's several court cases, at least one have recount, perhaps a recanvas in a couple states. There's statistical anomalies as well that might be clerical errors that need correcting. Nothing is official, they won't ask him to conceed until enough states have certified their elections for him to lose.
This is the only pending question, if they're counting ballots based on different standards in different areas then he might have an equal protection claim to take to the supreme court like Bush did. Far more likely for challenges to be taken to the state supreme court.
Not quite the same, the constitution requires house seats to be elected, but for the president the state just needs to select electors by the method of their choosing. If the state legislature doesn't have results they can just select their electors. That might work in our favor, depending on the state, so Trump may just need to cast enough doubt to force that hand.
They can declare ballots received in PA after the 3ed as invalid. State law says the ballots must be received by the 3ed, but a judge ruled to extend that. The position of the Trump campaign is that a judge cannot overrule a deadline set by state law. They will likely win that case.
I don't hear that there's a unique identifier on the ballot itself, just the envelope, the ballot has a barcode that identifies the precinct.
