There is hope. It's slim, but it's there.
This has never happened before, and we are in murky territory, but let's try to see through the murk.
In several states, including the ones Trump is now suing (Pennsylvania included), there were enough suspicious votes (fraudulent) to swing the election. But for that fraud, Trump would have been the clear winner.
We don't know how the court will rule, but it is possible that the court could award those electors to Trump or at least disqualify them from casting their votes.
If enough electors (or their votes) are disqualified, neither candidate will have the necessary 270 electoral votes to win. That would then send the decision to the House of Representatives, where the advantage would go to Trump, even if there are more Democrats in the House than Republicans. That is because, in the House, each state, not each representative, becomes a de facto elector. Each state would select one of its House members to vote for a candidate, and by this measure, there are more Republican states than Democrat. Trump would likely win.
The key to all of this is for the Supreme Court (or a state court, which is unlikely) to disqualify the electors who were fraudulently elected. This could throw the election to the House, a likely win for Trump, as was just pointed out.
It seems unlikely that the Supreme Court will actually disqualify any electors, but it could happen. Trump's lawyers can make the legal case, which is beyond my capability and authority, since I am not a lawyer. But any of us can make the moral case.

There is bright hope for President Trump to be declared the winner as that’s the truth.
If all else fails we can always resort to the cartridge box.
Slim my a%%! Hundreds of Thousands of Americans have been excluded as citizens and denied the right to have their voice heard. Proving voter fraud thru sworn affidavits has got to be worth something.
Another possibility would be to order revotes in certain counties or entire states. It probably won’t happen, but it seems more likely than disqualifying electors. There have been cases of courts ordering revotes where there was clear evidence of fraud. A NY Congressional seat had a court ordered revote back in the 70’s, IRRC.
Well Duh!
KEEP IN MIND: Neither state governors nor courts, including states’ highest
courts, have any authority over how federal elections are conducted in their states.
DATES TO REMEMBER:
Dec. 8th...States Certification of Votes, each state has their deadline.
Dec. 14th..Electors Announce their Votes.
Jan. 6th...Joint Session of Congress reads aloud the votes of the Electors.
If Congress wants to refuse them, the Supreme Court would decide which Elector slate is valid (assuming states sent two slates).
Because the Constitution specifically says legislatures select the slate, and Governors are not involved, the Court would have no choice.
The law is clear.
Someone raised the agonizing question......what if the USSC does not want to overturn the election?
The USSC is guided by finite principles ——— who won or who lost is not one of those principles.
In the Bush/Gore decision, the USSC stopped the count......they didnt overturn anything.......they didnt decide who won or who lost.
What’s murky about the Constitution?
The Soreness in PA will likely throw out the fraud ballots swinging the state to Trump. Maybe in MI and WI also.
My understanding is - and I could well have this wrong so any correction is welcome - SCOTUS last Friday ordered PA to segregate ALL ballots received after 8 PM on 11/3 so that those ballots could be counted under existing state law: meaning in the view of GOP Poll Challengers who were illegally prevented from entering the precincts. PA Elections Board didn’t. And - was a second SCOTUS ruling sent Monday saying the same thing? If I have that right, don’t the segregated ballots have to be removed from the total??
We all know that President Trump won.
No way that a man who attracted thousands of people, in all manner of weather, lost to a man who attracted tens of cars. Safely inside, probably wearing masks even if they were alone.
Great pic.
Justice Thomas was put through the wringer. So terrible.
So mote it be.
If that happens, it must be 1) in-person 2) ID And signature check 3) timeout deadline 4) bipartisan watchers
Gore went 37 day post Election. We are at Nov. 3rd + 8.
Each of those states has a Republican state legislature. If the state legislature determines there was fraud on a large scale, they could do several things. They could declare Trump the winner and appoint a slate of electors to vote accordingly. They could also insist on a re-vote with the normal election integrity rules in place.
There is zero, zip, zilch, nada the courts could do about that. It is the legislature which makes election laws and which decides the winner. Do the Republicans have the balls?
It’s starting to dawn on even the Establishment Republicans that if they roll over, they are done. They are done both because the Democrats will simply do the same to them to get total power then change the rules (eg DC statehood) to stay in power forever, and they are done because nobody on the Right would ever vote for them again.
Exactly that (a re-vote) happened in my congressional district in North Carolina last year. We had no US rep for a year and then we held a special election a year later.
This would be by far the best outcome for the country.
Trump won this election by a landslide. Now the dems have stolen it and are daring us to try and do something about it under the threat of rioting and doxxing and media shaming and all the other nonsense! I say f#ck them all and let’s get our country back! The alternative is to take a knee and lose everything!
