WASHINGTON - Monday seemed like the end of President Donald Trump’s relentless challenges to the election, after the federal government acknowledged President-elect Joe Biden was the “apparent winner” and Trump cleared the way for cooperation on a transition of power.
But his baseless claims have a way of coming back. And back. And back.
The 2020 presidential race is turning into the zombie election that Trump just won’t let die. Despite dozens of legal and procedural setbacks, his campaign keeps filing new challenges that have no hope of succeeding and making fresh, unfounded claims of fraud.
But that’s the point. Trump’s strategy wasn’t to change the outcome, but to create a host of phantom claims about the 2020 presidential race that would infect the nation with doubt, even though the winner was clear and there has been no evidence of mass voter fraud.
“Zombies are dead people walking along the living - this litigation is the same thing,” said Franita Tolson, a professor at the University of Southern California Gould School of Law. “In terms of litigation that could change the election, all these cases are basically dead men walking.”
“This really is our version of a polite coup d’etat,” said Thomas Mann, senior resident scholar at the Institute of Governmental Studies at the University of California at Berkeley. “It could end quickly if the Republican Party acknowledged what was going on. But they cower in the face of Trump’s connection with the base.”
“The legal process seems to be unfolding the way it’s supposed to, but the Trump campaign has made clear its desire to throw wrenches in the system wherever it can,” said Lisa Marshall Manheim, a professor at the University of Washington School of Law.

“But his baseless claims have a way of coming back.”
The term “baseless” has really gotten a workout lately. That is their story, and they are sticking to it.
Yeah. Well there’s something completely unacceptable about an election that is loaded to the rafters with Voter Fraud, Ballot Tampering and just outright, blatant fraud. That may be acceptable in some Third World Sh*thole, but NOT at all acceptable, here.
If you have a problem with my statement, that is just too bad.
I keep reading this stuff about “no evidence”. Well, the liberals made it difficult to get some of the evidence, but it seems to me there was plenty to indicate massive wrongdoing. There were things happening that were just not normal & should have raised many doubts. Much of it should seem obvious to a casual observer. President Trump spent one term trying to clean up Obama’s mess & succeeded for the most part but it could start all over again if Biden is elected. How can anyone who calls himself a citizen of the USA & especially an elected official just stand by & let this happen?
They’re intentionally conflating the GSA announcement as an admission of defeat, despite that it was made clear it was not, and was done due to death threats to the GSA head.
The analogy I like to use is a big battleship trying to make a turn to fight the enemy.
At first it moves very slowly to face the enemy, at the same time slowly raising the big guns.
Then after it finally takes the turn to get headed in the right direction, it gets underway and gradually gains speed.
It takes a while, and it may look like it is not going to happen, but when the battleship finally gets within range and starts firing the big guns....
Total devastation of the Quislings and thieves.

Yes, that’s exactly what they expect.
We sat down and took it when they put an ineligible Kenyan from Indonesia in office in direct violation of the Constitution.
That’s fine. When it starts we take them out first.
You are correct. The courts are ruling in Trumps favor in NV, AZ, MI, PA and GA. His end game is to get enough decertifications to keep Biden under 270 and it goes to Congress - He wins.
My Facebook feed is usually packed with lots of snark from anti-Trumpers on both coasts (lived in Boston for many years). Since election day? Dead silence.

Hey AP, if it is all over then you need to ask Vice President Elect Kamala Harris to resign her Senate seat.
Yes, they absolutely do, as our side has done for decades. But that's why Trump is so popular, because he FIGHTS for what's right.
Until yesterday they hadn't yet even walked up to the plate much less taken a swing.
What are three adjectives the media never used during four years of pushing the Russia Collusion Hoax, the Trump’s a Russian Asset Hoax, and the Trump’s a Racist Hoax?
Baseless. Without proof. With no evidence.
Why, that’s correct, Mr. Claven. You’ve just won Double Jeopardy.
“ baseless claims”????
