At least now, the fight is back in the forests, where Republican state parties will put their best election lawyers to work in venues they understand and under rules they know. These are the real experts in their respective jurisdictions, and they may have some surprises in store.
As a general rule, election recount contests rarely succeed, but that’s because even in close races, the loser is usually tapped out financially and emotionally exhausted from the campaign. Spending months fighting in court is daunting. That doesn’t fit Mr. Trump. He loves the fight. And this one might actually be somewhat fair.
There is enough violation of election law relating to allowing poll watchers to see fraud that large blocks of votes can be excluded.
Based upon the final outcome of Florida in Bush vs Gore, I expect that the Democrats will do everything they can to block recounts as recounts will disclose fraud.
Trump can checkmate the Democrats by putting them in a position of recounts or throw the election to the House where Trump will win based upon Republican State Legislatures, which are the majority in US, voting for Trump.
All it takes is for Trump to get Republican State Legislatures in swing states to not certify the vote due to fraud. (List below are all Republican controlled State Houses that went to Biden)
Pennsylvania-20
Michigan-16
Arizona-11
Wisconsin-10
Georgia-16
New Hampshire-4
North Carolina if needed-15
Assume Biden currently 290 less PA 20-MI16-AZ11-WI10-GA16 = 217
(way under 270)
If any of the Republican state houses in the list, plus Pennsylvania refuse to certify the vote, Biden is screwed.
Pennsylvania Republican House has already challenged the vote results last Saturday.
I have already picked out a personal nickname for Biden - Old Joe, or O.J. for short.
Why? Because he DID IT, and everyone knows he did it.
He has no honor, and no ethics.
He will lie to your face, cheat you and steal from you without a second thought.
He can be bought, but can never be trusted.
(Apologies to the real OJ)
Just about all the people he brought with him either meant well but were clueless, like Steve Bannon and Jeff Sessions
Sessions was an old hand in Washington. He knew the Deep State better than most. He WAS the Deep State better than most.
