What if Trump refuses to concede *EVER* ?
The courts will not be the solution. Too weak and comfortable.
Conceding is a formality. He just has to leave.
“What if Trump refuses to concede *EVER* ?”
Biden will be sworn in. The is no requirement that a candidate publicly concedes.
He can set up the REAL White House in Florida. After all Obama did it in Washington, D.C.
This election was more China/Globalists/Elites vs. the US middle-class.
The middle class lost.
He stated he would leave if the electors select Biden.
Kidding, obviously.
He will never, ever concede and neither will the MAGA nation.
This case shown us many states are willing to hold their vote.
‘What if Trump refuses to concede *EVER* ?’
you already know the answer to this, so I can’t imagine why you are begging for it; you know he will be subjected to the ignominy of forcible removal...
I hope he doesn’t concede. I also hope he doesn’t attend the inauguration . . . or even talk to Biden at all. Seeing who does attend will tell us which politicians we can never trust again. (Most of them, I guess.)
So, what to do?
The Supreme Court will most likely rule that this is a political question that should be decided by the legislatures of Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin because the Constitution states that each state Legislature shall select the electors.
So, The SCOTUS will pass the buck back to the politicians in the four states.
This means that the Legislature of each state should investigate the election and make the decision.
Well, And this is the ingenuity of the suit - it banks on the SCOTUS being as cowardly as the lower courts ( and they WILL BE. They don’t want this election to be on their shoulders).
The remedy is black-letter, constitutional, and convenient.
If the state legislatures fail, then it goes to the House of Representatives.
n other words, in the end, to use a basketball analogy, the final foul shots will have to be fired by the LEGISLATURE, not the courts.
The legislatures of each of the 4 problematic states are MAJORITY REPUBLICAN! It remains to be seen if after seeing the evidence of fraud presented, they will be convinced to choose electors who will favor Trump ( Too many Republicans hate Trump’s guts anyway ).
The most complicated result is if the electors are not unified and divided in their view and the Electoral College results in a 269-269 tie!
he genius of the framers of the Constitution is that they still have an orderly process put in place. If worse comes to worst it results in an electoral tie, the US House of Representatives - Congress gets to vote for the President.
Under the Constitution’s 12th Amendment, the House would select the next president and the Senate would pick the vice president if no candidate has a majority of Electoral College votes.
It all depends on how the legislators of each of the 4 problem states will choose electors.
If the state legislature looks at the evidences and his convinced of the massive scale of fraud, and decide to choose electors who will vote for Trump, it is still possible.
Though the House has a Democratic majority, such an outcome would almost certainly benefit Trump. Here’s why: In a concession to small states concerned their voices would be marginalized if the House was called upon to choose the president, the founders of thus country gave only one vote to each state.
House delegations from each state meet to decide how to cast their single vote.
That voting procedure gives equal representation to California – population 40 million – and Wyoming, population 600,000.
This arrangement favors Republicans. The GOP has dominated the House delegations of 26 states since 2018 – exactly the number required to reach a majority under the rules of House presidential selection.
HIS HAS HAPPENED TWO TIMES IN AMERICAN HISTORY...
The founders proved prescient: The elections of 1800 and 1824 did not produce winners in the Electoral College and were decided by the House. Thomas Jefferson was chosen in 1800 and John Quincy Adams in 1824.
All the above discussion of course, assumes the the Electors chosen by the 4 problem states will NOT select Biden. We don’t know that. All we know is that the Legislature of these 4 states are MAJORITY REPUBLICAN.
12 more years.../s
LOL
Better to use the 1997 SCOTUS ruling that federal elections take place in ONE day: 9-0; all votes after midnight 11/3/2020 cannot be counted - that’s when the majority of HarrisBiden votes swamped DJT.
In a prior case Foster v. Love, 522 U.S. 67 (1997) SCOTUS ruled 9-0 federal Election Day Is One Single Day. In other words all ballots received after 11/3 at midnight cannot be counted.
RE: I hope he doesn’t concede. I also hope he doesn’t attend the inauguration . . . or even talk to Biden at all.
John Adams I think, did EXACTLY what you suggested when Thomas Jefferson was inaugurated.
“If they could have proven direct voter fraud...”
Wait, what?
Cowardly pieces of shit. Look for a lame excuse. , to say the people don’t have standing. We are finished. Reagan said we could lose liberty in a heartbeat, how right he was.
“This case shown us many states are willing to hold their vote.”
No they are not. See Kabuki theater.
