Why is Trump telling us to mail-in?
I wasn’t familiar with those, had to look it up.
But...when will that need to be initiated? And by whom?
Technically, it’d have to be done before 12noon Eastern on Jan. 20, 2021. Even then, if the election is contested, the Dems will scream bloody murder that “He has no authority!! Lame duck!!”
Anyone thinking anything different?
“But...when will that need to be initiated? And by whom?”
. . . . . . . . . .
“The Electoral College electors then formally cast their electoral votes on the first Monday after December 12 at their state’s capital. Congress then certifies the results in early January, and the presidential term begins on Inauguration Day, which since the passage of the Twentieth Amendment has been set at January 20. “

. . . . . . . .
I believe it is invoked by the President.
If the prog States withhold their results to December 12th, (five weeks and three days after the election) that would be a good point in time for PDJT to give notice that they have, oh... one week before a state of insurrection is declared.
This can be justified as the hanging chad fiasco ruling was issued on December 12, 2000.
Once the Insurrection clauses are invoked the President has absolute authority over State and Federal officials as well as persons that are creating, aiding or failing to act against those that are creating the disturbances or breaking the law.
He can stop the prog fraud, out of control chief election officials or election board/commission from counting disqualified or late mail ballots.

“The Electors shall meet in their respective States, and vote by Ballot for two Persons, of whom one at least shall not be an Inhabitant of the same State with themselves. And they shall make a List of all the Persons voted for, and of the Number of Votes for each; which List they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the Seat of the Government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate. The President of the Senate shall, in the Presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the Certificates, and the Votes shall then be counted. The Person having the greatest Number of Votes shall be the President, if such Number be a Majority of the whole Number of Electors appointed; and if there be more than one who have such Majority, and have an equal Number of Votes, then the House of Representatives shall immediately chuse by Ballot one of them for President; and if no Person have a Majority, then from the five highest on the List the said House shall in like Manner chuse the President. But in chusing the President, the Votes shall be taken by States, the Representation from each State having one Vote; A quorum for this Purpose shall consist of a Member or Members from two thirds of the States, and a Majority of all the States shall be necessary to a Choice. In every Case, after the Choice of the President, the Person having the greatest Number of Votes of the Electors shall be the Vice President. But if there should remain two or more who have equal Votes, the Senate shall chuse from them by Ballot the Vice President.”
When choosing the President, the House votes by states. We have a substantial majority of states (32 to 17, with Maine split). So long as republicans from seven or more states do not go rogue and vote NeverTrump, we will win.
What you say makes sense.
Even so, I can just imagine the outrage from the progs should this happen. “He’s a tyrant! Rise up people! Destroy all that stands in your way!” All the media outlets would broadcast and wild-eyed rioter who says that.
There are those who will rise up to defend themselves from rioters an looters. I’m starting to think the only way that the rest of our side will actually rise and fight would be if the President actually took to the airwaves and called on ‘real Americans’ to “defend the country”.
bkmk
AKA... insurrection.

“I predict that BLM, Antifa and their ilk will go full tilt and attack and destroy polling places outright, attacking several at once across a city to make police intervention problematic.”
I predict that thousands of BLM and Antifa will be mysteriously found hanged from lampposts, and the pearl-clutchers here on FR will blame it on people not wearing face masks.
Nah, birdshot from less than thirty feet should solve the removal process. Take three tries ... it will do the trick, trust me.
What happens when the congress does not accept the electoral college results?
As for Congress being exempt this is a list of the current are and are not exemption laws..
