A Contested 2020 Election Would Be Way Worse Than Bush v. Gore

It’s Wednesday, Nov. 4, and the vote count is too close to call. Neither President Trump nor former Vice President Joe Biden is conceding defeat, recounts are being conducted, disputes over recounts are being lodged, and a court case will soon be making its way to the Supreme Court of the United States. Trump has voiced his belief that there is widespread ballot fraud and as a result there’s already some degree of civil unrest.

Barrett casting the 5th. vote would trigger the ultimate Leftist head explosion that likely would start CW 2.0.

Except despite all the claims, Trump will win decisively because many Americans are highly turned off by the tactics of the Left.

The election wont be contested so the 538 article is DOA. Trump is reelected handily.

What gets even more interesting is if the results on Nov 3 show a clear Trump victory. Red states all over the map. Popular vote and electoral college indicate a big win by the incumbent.

And Joe Biden says: “I will not concede”.
And the media says: “We need a couple more weeks to count up some more votes.”

What happens then? We The People will have spoken loudly. Are we expected to watch a coup unfold right in front of our eyes? Again?

Barrett, J. will cast the 6th vote against Trump.

It will be the Court pleading for mercy from the Leftist mob, which will show it none.

You are right and I have had the privilege to have access to the data that proves it. Some has been confirmed on FR.

It would also be better than a Biden outright win.

What a load of crap.. and no, I’m not clicking on the link. I had enough with the first paragraph already blaming any “unrest” on Trump. Screw this guy.

If the Dims get all wee-wee’d over this, wait until Trump’s Supreme Court challenge demanding to have his first term not count due to illegal interference by the opposing party.

Yea, one can dream, right? Frankly, I think the case would have merit. But what do I know? I’m must a senile old guy.

Except that won’t happen as Trump is going to win big.

Bigger doesn’t necessarily mean stronger.

Nor more influential, as far as a Blue city lawyer / university professor / top-paid government employee goes.
