"Funded by soros" But for whom? Who stands to gain the most from this? I would say RINOS and career GOP members who want a controlling position in a Trump presidency. If the state elections are not certified by Dec. ? then Trump will not have the necessary 270 electoral votes to win, and the election must be settled by Congress. This is where the bargaining may get really ugly.

Not so.

If the re-count delays certification of the vote past December 13, the date specified by the constitution, then the state legislature is empowered to appoint its own slate of electors.

It would be these electors who would vote in the Electoral College on December 19.

Given that Republicans control both houses of the legislatures in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, we know who they would be casting their EVs for.

Regardless of the state of the re-counts, all three states will be represented by electors and Trump will still end up with 306 EV.
