Worth a read

I've been saying this for the last two days: there HAS to be a reason why Trump's 2018 EO on ELECTION INTERFERENCE has the FRESHLY REPLACED DNI provide a report 45 days later (16th, two days after the EC meets). 45 wasn't just chosen willy nilly, there is a reason for it. I believe this is the card that Trump is going to play, but I'm not quite sure what it is.
It's likely his plan might be to also have his electors submit their votes so they don't miss the deadline. This would cause two slates of votes to be sent to Pence to count. It buys time and ensures that when he does find fraud, there is no technicality on why Trump can't win (i.e., the electors missed the deadline!)
