Trump still wins the Presidency if the electoral votes of MI, PA and WI do not get counted. Per the 12th amendment, the majority electoral college vote number would be adjusted downwards. The total number of appointed electoral college votes would change from 538 to 492 if all three states electors are unable to cast their ballots due to court disputes.

The number of EV’s required to win the presidency would change from 270 to 247. As of right now, without these three states, Trump has 260 EV’s - Hildebeast has 232 EV’s, a 28 EV lead. Trump still wins the EC majority by 13 if all three states electors are unable to cast their ballots

Only way Hildebeast steals this is if she somehow is able to steal PA + either WI or MI. Then she would have to block the 3rd state from casting its EC votes to narrowly win the EC majority. Stealing WI + MI (26 EV’s) and blocking PA still leaves her 2EV’s behind Trump and he would win EC by one vote.

She will not likely be able to steal any state in the recounts - most likely she could hope to deny their electors from voting for Trump but like I pointed out, it would not stop Trump from winning the presidency.

Another scenario, the state legislators could decide to submit their electors anyway using the original vote count if the recounts can’t be completed on time, then Congress who has a good amount of latitude when it comes to deciding EC issues can accept the EC votes. Trump wins with 306.

Someone just told me that Clinton might be thinking about challenging North Carolina’s vote.

The chances of overturning even one state is a longshot. My thoughts are they are only trying to get it into the federal courts. Maybe they are just trying to undermine Trump before he takes office as some have suggested. All I know for sure is, these people are evil beyond belief
