How would martial law change the results of the election?

Martial Law is our last option

I know one PA lawsuit is on its way to the SC, and there are GA, MI, and WI suits in unknown phase. Curious about this too.

Biden already “won”. SCOTUS needs to rule on PA, GA and MI to throw out electors and do this before Dec 14. Highly unlikely given we don’t even know what’s happening with the GA and MI suits yet.

Yeah, but so is requisite cooperation. It also doesn’t say anything about legal action to overturn the electoral results.

I knew it. Just needed him to deny the evidence

Time for Executive Order and the Insurrection Act. Especially if the SCOTUS fails to overturn 37+ electors. I’m now more confident than before that Trump will serve a second term.

The 12th Amendment is pretty clear that the senate certifies whoever has the majority of electors, which would be Biden unless that is reversed.

As for the suits making it to SCOTUS, my understanding was that the justices selecting whether a case is heard by district --- that this would only happen if a given suit is appealed to the SC for a review in the first place. So far only 1 PA suit has managed to take it through two denial-appeal cycles and is on its way. Nobody knows if the others (GA, MI, WI) can be appealed to the SC in time for a Dec 14th vote. I don't even know if they have had a hearing yet.

But wouldn't the SC need to toss out 37+ electors to make it go to the House for a vote? And even this is entirely dependent on whether the PA, GA, MI, and WI suits make it to the SCOTUS for a hearing BEFORE Dec 14th. Not to mention 3/4 of those would have to pass.

As for where the suits stand now, I don't think anybody knows if they will make it that far.

I agree with this, but am not sure where the foreign part plays a role. It was an inside job.

There's also the Insurrection Act, but I don't even know if Trump would be willing to go there if needed.

My concern is that we don't know where the PA, GA, MI, and WI lawsuits stand, or if they will be heard by SCOTUS before the 12/14 deadline. Or even before Inauguration Day. There is historical precedent for the 1876 election being decided 3 days before Inauguration Day, but I don't know the legal part of that.

I know he won. I mean does he have a chance of serving a second term?

Even in spite of the Dec 14th deadline? I know Congress certified sometime in early January, but by that point I thought it was over.
