I think it is overblown hype. If Pres Trump makes it to 270 he wins. If the secretaries of state of those states certify the election then he wins. Concession of the opponent is not a Constitutional requirement.

He can’t make it to 270 until the states declare their votes so the electoral votes can be awarded.

I do believe its going to be one huge cluster...designed to cast illegitimacy on Trump’s victory and opening the way for endless lawsuits that will keep the results tied up for months, especially if the dumblecrats are perceived to be losing.

Once we cast our vote, it becomes a chip in the hands of the counters.

Secretary of State for Arizona, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Virginia and Wisconsin are all DEMOCRATs...

What could possibly go wrong? Imagine the havoc these rats could hoist on the USA.

Of course, if there’s any uncertainty, idiots like Whitler, Wolf and other swing state Dems could send Biden electors to their state Capitols, even if the Trump electors are certified.

The state chosen electors meet in December and at that time choose the president. This in the past closely (identically) corresponded to the results gleaned on election night. That won’t be true this election. It may take several weeks for the election results to be determined.

There is a hard deadline — the date the electors are to meet. If some states have not completed their tallies or they have no confidence in those tallies, then that state will not be in a position to contribute electors. The president will be determined at this time, NOT in January as many have claimed.

If state election results come in late, that is too bad. These states have no one to blame but themselves. They will have disenfranchised their citizens, denying them a chance to have a say in the presidential race. Other races, those determined directly, must close before the next Congress is seated in early January. That Congress will have NO say in determining the president in the one circumstance outlined in the constitution where no presidential candidate back in December gets more than 50% of the electors. That will be the responsibility of the previous congress not the new one.

The Trump team had better be prepared for massive Democrat voter fraud and be willing to contest ALL mail-to-order results.

One final word: the left doesn’t understand who the III% are. They are NOT 3% of the populace at large. They are 3% of all gun owners. I can’t believe how many news stories get this wrong. They are the real “NFAC”, not those black clad racist posers led by “grandmaster jay” who has probably never fired an AR15 in his life.

The problem is ‘Soros OWNS many of the secretaries of State’.

I’m with you, DJT will win so overwhelmingly that the left will just shrug their shoulders and walk away saying well we tried as best we could. All this talk about CWII is hype that will fade on election night when it becomes obvious they have nothing.
Life will go on. it’s their turn to say wait until the next election.
