Post-election 2020: Two studies say all hell to break loose
American Thinker ^ | 26 Oct, 2020 | Bill Livingstone

Posted on 10/26/2020 5:17:14 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Two recent reports, when combined, paint a dark pathway for America in the coming weeks, a nation set on fire by multiple contentious court battles and widespread daily protests.

The 79 Days Report, by the Claremont Institute and the Texas Policy Foundation, illuminates possible election legal battles on the horizon and how they might play out in the courts. The bottom line? The litigation will be time consuming and combative. There’s no fast forward button to speed up the process. It concludes:

On election night, the winner will not be known “due to millions of uncounted mail-in ballots in 6 battleground states.” Given there’s no clear victor, “intense court fights” can be expected that could result “in a struggle right up to the Jan. 6 joint session of Congress. Uncertainty could extend even beyond this as decisions for both the presidency and vice presidency are battled out in Congress and before the U.S. Supreme Court.” The second report, Hold the Line: A Guide to Defending Democracy, is a how-to manual for organizing massive protests, produced by a group of hard-left “researchers, organizers, and activists.” The report encourages people to early assemble into clusters, to identify the “power holders” they want to “influence,” and then make plans on how to achieve their goals.

The report calls for “large-scale protests,” if the Trump Administration and its allies prevent all votes from being counted, allows ballots to be tossed out, or fails to “remedy irregularities” in the voting.

I’m not so sure. Those I know have much better plans...and probably don’t eat as many donuts.

In that hearing the Dems will argue that the “Purcell Principle” (read: not a law) prevents the USSC from making a ruling this close to an election. But, there are Federal laws mandating consistency in federal elections across the states. The USSC can order that all 50 states must have all ballots counted by a specific deadline (I’m good with midnight November 4).

And this isn't (shouldn't be) a super-controversial ruling. They'd just be saying "No, you can't change the rules two weeks out from an election, and besides, the legislature sets election laws and rules, and if the law isn't unconstitutional, you don't have the authority to rewrite it."

“I think the signature verification law just got overturned by the PA Supreme Court. I could be wrong...it may have been another state, but I think PA was known for this law. But in any case, the court said the signatures didn’t have to match.”

So the “signature doesn’t have to match “ got overturned/negated, and the signatures —do— have to match?

There is no limit to the depths to which the lefties will go.

I wish nothing more...or less...than for them to go to a depth of six feet.

Prepper Ping - 10/26/20 - reissue with specifics

News Source :
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2020/10/postelection_2020_two_studies_say_all_hell_to_break_loose.html

“The Hold the Line report posits an election outcome that’s fraudulent, where all the votes are not counted and irregularities remedied.  
Given this scenario, it calls for “another form of power to correct the balance,” an all-out revolution,
in which large numbers of people participate in strikes, boycotts, protests, and other nonviolent actions,”
until a democratic and accountable government is restored.”

In other words, they want to shut down society until President Trump is forced from office,
not unlike the 28-Days of Resistance in Tunisia that toppled President El Abidine Ben Ali and the 25 January Revolution in Egypt that ousted President Hosni Mubarak.
 

Such an event seems highly implausible.  
But if Trump is reelected, no matter what happens, the left will claim the election was stolen,
not unlike 2016, opening the curtain to four more years of protests and attacks on his presidency ."

Ammunition sales are through the roof. Prices are absolutely insane! Guns are being sold like never before.

What is the message here?

Yea, it is on the line.

The appointment of Electors by the 50 State Legislatures are not Federal elections.

If I remember correctly, the Federal election is Congress.

The states could appoint electors by lottery if they chose. That would be fun....the “luckiest” candidate would win.

Get your popcorn ready (and other things too). There is no limit to the depths to which the lefties will go.


The left has no guard rails. It has no morals or limits. “The ends justify the means”.

Get this clear, because the illusion the left wants to project is that it is the right at blame, but it IS the left that is the home of evil. Just look at our country and where the looting/rioting/physical attacks are.

We need to pray for the Republic, first and foremost.

Second, we need to prepare for months of potential trouble, disruptions and the like. Treat it like home insurance - no expectation of a house fire, but if a fire happens, we are prepared.

The Republic *will* survive IF we make the proper preparations. For parents of school-aged children, if your children are in government schools with all that is transpiring at the moment, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING???
