Tell me Trumps path to victory.

posted 4 years ago by Incredible_duck 4 years ago by Incredible_duck +3 / -4

Please tell me. We all know the SCOTUS isn’t gonna help Trump now. Unless Biden says fuck it! I don’t wanna do this anymore, tell me how he’s going to win? Where’s the path to victory? What’s got to happen?

I would ask this question on thedonald, but questions are considered “wrong think” over there and the post will get nuked if too many people aren’t 100% Trumps gonna win.

Short of a literal coup — which I'm not suggesting should, or even (for lack of political capital) could, happen — there isn't one.

You need to read about contested elections. As of today, WI, GA, PA, AZ, NV have contested electors. So you need to look at the Electoral Count Act of 1877.

The last step in any presidential election is the certification of electoral votes by the newly elected Congress in early January. This is normally a rubber-stamp of the results everyone knows on or shortly after Election Night. But the above-mentioned Electoral Count Act provides a way to “pause” the certification if one House and one Senate member protest the award of electors in one or more states. In that event, the two chambers separate and hold a two-hour debate before voting on the electoral votes for disputed states. Only if both Houses disapprove the initial results are they changed.

Good luck with that lol. Additionally, none of those states have contested electorates in the sense of the "dueling electorates" problem, if that's what you're referring to.
