Like, cast so many lawsuits up so that results can't be certified by the states. Specifically, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Nevada.

His attorneys drop so many lawsuits the states and counties can't certify the results. This would allow the legislature to send their electors instead of the people's. The lawsuits could be dismissed but if the electors vote trump it could flip states back to him.

Is anyone worried about this or something like it? Like I'm probably on a 7 with worry that this is going to spiral way out of control.

I'm way more worried of mass rallies of Trump supporters and violence breaking out.

Trump's lawsuits are getting shot down extremely fast, because they are so baseless.

I'm sure Trump will do what he can to make the transition as far away from smooth as possible. It seems very fair to worry about this. I'm just a lot more worried about violence in the streets.

Oh and covid seems pretty worrisome too.

Even if this has a <1% chance of succeeding the attempt to undermine our democracy by a sitting president is in-itself extremely damaging and merits a response that should be nothing less than a thorough repudiation from EVERYONE.

I have no love for the democrats but the fact that republicans are still tying themselves to this god damn lunatic tells me that they won't be fit for office for at least several generations out from now. I'd love to have a substantive disagreement about tax policy but here we are in 2020... disagreeing about whether or not democracy should even exist because 10s of millions of people literally want to live as peasants under a trump monarchy.

I guess I feel like things could turn really nasty if it gets to the time when certain states have to have everything impaneled and they aren't ready. Then you get a slate of electors who even in states that were won by Democrats vote Republican anyway

I am , if something does happen and Trump steals this thing, it would be the fault of the Democrats just setting back and seemingly doing nothing. We are playing defense after winning the game. They need to go on the attack and attack Trump wins do something besides just lay back and act like nothing back could happen. All it takes is one major victory.

besides an armed response, what do you actually think can be done to stop trump from doing the shit he's doing right now?

Sue him, sue his people, we know that Lindsey tried to get legal ballots thrown out of GA, don't say shit like you are going to investigate him you get into office. Do the same stuff that they are doing do something besides let Trump un a monk.

you cant sue him, he's the president.

suing his people at this point is unnecessary, they're literally playing themselves in court.

investigating lindsey is the senate's job, and there's pressure to force the committee that looks at shit like this to do so. but it rarely goes anywhere.

most of the investigative process after biden gets into office would be handled by the justice department, which will likely do its own thing as its supposed to when its not controlled by a sitting president. biden doesn't need to pressure the office to do it, and will likely be dealing with the dozens of fires trump is currently setting.

It's Beginning. Trump called the Detroit election canvassers who have to certify the results and now they both are saying they want to change their mind and not certified the results for the county Detroit is in.

He s going to really try and muddy this thing so much no one knows who won.

It's now the lead story on all news organizations.

If republicans in the state certification department don't vote to certify the legislature puts up the electors for Michigan.

We told you so.

From the very beginning we told you that electing this moron would be a stain on this country, and not only were we proven completely right, but his presidency turned out to be far worse than even we could predict in every conceivable way.

When historians of the future look back on the downfall of america, the Trump "presidency" will be the tipping point that there was no going back from.

In four years he has normalized disinformation, mass ignorance in the face of overwhelming fact, petty bullying policy as well as branding of the opposing party as enemies to be defeated, and the complete discarding of decorum and respect for the office.

There's no getting this genie back in the fucking bottle.

His play is the Supreme Court. It's why they rushed in to replace RBG with a lawyer who was part of the team that helped Bush steal the election from Gore.

As was Trump's previous nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

Bush already awarded John Roberts for his role.

and they blame trump for it because he told his supporters to not vote by mail....so he lost thousands of absentees votes because he basically told them their votes wouldnt be counted!

The electors from Michigan are at the White House right now. This has never happened before but I'm sure they are just there for a friendly chat. They won't have any pressure put on them.

Once Michigan falls and republicans see this plan actually working and influencing states like Georgia and Nevada (Arizona?) Will become emboldened and do the same thing.

Meanwhile Trump's "legal team" will keep blowing smoke about affidavits and witnesses. They don't need to produce any. They just need to keep yelling that they exist.
