OK, let’s say the take their cases to court and win them all. Then what? Judges say these votes after such a time are invalid or belong to DJT. How is that going to be enforced in all these Dem controlled states? The Dems will refuse to comply I imagine and scream and take to the streets (without masks of course). How does that force the election to be called contested and who does the calling. The Dems must know they’d lose 32-18.
Some point to the Hayes-Tilden election, but for Hayes to win at that time meant two major concessions, which today might mean open boarders and implementing the Green New Deal or similar.
I’m beginning to think this abundance of caution by the legal types, the Kraken business, is beginning to look more like the clock has already run out and a mouse that roared. I suppose a lot of this collective anxiety over the lack of election resolution stems from the resoundingly loud non-prosecution of Hillary for obvious and egregious felonies.
There were major concessions in Hayes-Tilden because Democrats and Tilden would win a 1 vote/ state vote in the House whereas the GOP controlled the Senate enough to delay but not enough to force through a win. GOP couldn’t let it go all the way to the House. Power calculation is different in Congress this time. Only chance Dems have to win is to remove GOP will to win, which is, alas, plausible. But if GOP holds strong only remaining card with which Dem’s can bargain is to riot or not. If GOP is willing to take that hit and respond in force while maintaining willpower the Dems have nothing.
