This is the opening of the “Thousand Cuts’ strategy that the Democrats alway employ against their Republican opponents. Another thread supposes that the game is to get recounts in Wisconsin, Michigan & PA to prevent those states from casting their electoral votes in December. Nobody gets 270, so the House — voting by states — selects the President, the Senate does the same for VP.

Then the Democrat-Media-Complex get to crow about Trump being ‘selected’ for President by his fellow Republicans. They’ll bring it up at least once in every newscast, each day, for 4 years.

Of course the Pennsylvania judge can scuttle this strategy. Or the state legislatures in question can direct their slate of electors to vote Trump regardless the recounts.

But it’s all about nicking Trump’s political legitimacy in the minds of the Low-Information-Voters.

Their grand miscalculation is thinking that everyone with (R) after their name is actually an establishment weakling Republicrat. What will really sting them, as evidenced by Radditz this morning bemoaning no press conference yet, is how he will continually relegate them to obscurity by going every which way around, under and over them them and never through them.

Their relevancy is directly tied to them disseminating the “news” they feel fit to report while disregarding that which needs to tell “The Rest of the Story”.

Well put and 100% true.

Trump still wins the Presidency if the electoral votes of MI, PA and WI do not get counted. Per the 12th amendment, the majority electoral college vote number would be adjusted downwards. The total number of appointed electoral college votes would change from 538 to 492 if all three states electors are unable to cast their ballots due to court disputes.

The number of EV’s required to win the presidency would change from 270 to 247. As of right now, without these three states, Trump has 260 EV’s - Hildebeast has 232 EV’s, a 28 EV lead. Trump still wins the EC majority by 13 if all three states electors are unable to cast their ballots

Only way Hildebeast steals this is if she somehow is able to steal PA + either WI or MI. Then she would have to block the 3rd state from casting its EC votes to narrowly win the EC majority. Stealing WI + MI (26 EV’s) and blocking PA still leaves her 2EV’s behind Trump and he would win EC by one vote.

She will not likely be able to steal any state in the recounts - most likely she could hope to deny their electors from voting for Trump but like I pointed out, it would not stop Trump from winning the presidency.
