The problem as I can see is that while indeed, Trump still has more EV’s than Clinton if you throw out WI, PA and OH’s combined vote total (48, which leaves 258 for Trump and 232 for Clinton), the problem I see is what Stephenc described, which was/is, if they delay and obfuscate through the courts the results of those states long enough, then neither candidate has 270, which is what is needed to win. So the race won’t be official until someone reaches 270 officially, that is through the Electoral College.

So the nightmare scenario here is this: the leftists count and recount until the Dec 19 deadline is past, the Electoral College can’t vote to elect Trump officially (since recounts are still ongoing) and so they (the leftists) keep counting and recounting until they get the results they want, i.e., Clinton.

Personally, it seems to me the mother of all long-shots, couldn’t get more remote in terms of chances of succeeding. But that’s the only end-game I can see here for them and their efforts.

It’s either that, or they haven’t thought it through at all, and are just doing this out of spite and hate, which of course is itself a possibility as this is the left we are talking about here. And nothing but their way is acceptable. Like a 2 year old without any capability to reason and accept defeat.

I just hope Trump is keeping an eye on these shenanigans; with the left these days, nothing is assured until Jan 20. Even then who knows what devious trick they will try.

Hi. Let me help.

No matter what the apocalyptic scenario, the election will be decided in the House of Representatives.

Which is controlled by the Republicans.
