President Donald Trump can still win the presidency.
Here’s how:
Only the Electoral College or the various state legislatures can declare a candidate the winner. To base this decision on network vote totals and projections and to call Biden the president-elect is irresponsible.
The recounts in Arizona, Georgia, and the other states are likely to go heavily for Trump.
Most of the likely errors or invalid votes took place on mailed in ballots. (Machine votes are harder to tamper with). Since Biden won upwards of two-thirds of mail-in votes and absentee ballots, it's likely that most of the discarded mail ballots will be subtracted from Biden’s total.
...
Article II Section 1 of the US Constitution reads:
"Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress."
The Pennsylvania State Legislature, solidly in Republican hands (both houses) may choose to demand a recount before appointing electors. To build the case for doing so, it may hold hearings into the allegations of fraud so as to help the voters of the state understand how flagrantly their votes were mishandled.
Already, the leader of the State Senate in Pennsylvania and the Speaker of the State Assembly have held a press conference announcing their intention to "audit" the vote counting process.
So, as the great Yogi Berra said, "It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings."
She hasn’t.

Remember Animal House, the movie : John Belushi: ‘Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?’,
Otter: Germans?
Boon: Forget it, he’s rolling.
Bluto: What? Over? Did you say ‘over’? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no...
It ain’t over now, ‘cause when the goin’ gets tough, the tough get goin’. Who’s with me? Let’s go! Come on!...(He ran to the front door but no one followed him)..
Bluto (returning): What the f—k happened to the Delta I used to know? Where’s the spirit? Where’s the guts, huh? This could be the greatest night of our lives, but you’re gonna let it be the worst.
Ummm no. It’s over. Besides; this is Dick Morris. He’s wrong every time he makes a prediction . When he came on Newsmax at 9 on election night and predicted a decisive Trump win, I got a sick feeling in my stomach cuz I knew that was the kiss of death
We may have lost this battle but we haven’t lost the war.
No, Dick.
President Trump WILL win.
Get that through your thick skull, you idiot.
Go back to selling gold on TV.
Excuse me but Trump has already won! We just need to Stpp the Steal!!
If dick says Trump has a path then obviously we have lost the election.
Need to be manual recounts in places like Georgia and Michigan to get around the software “glitches” that stole the election forbidden......
Dick even late election night said PA WI MI also a lock. Guess he’s not talking to the DNC fraud team(s) these days.
Yep and if GA is allowed to do any shenanigans they could flip the Senate in the next election.
We need to squash GA now and keep a knee on their necks for the next 9 months.
Figuratively speaking, of course.
There has to be a foolproof way that ALL fake and fraudulent ballots are separated. That is a tall task because we have to assume that they are dumped and interspersed with legal votes.
He means ofificially win.
The legislature does not appoint electors. Each candidate's party appoints a slate of electors which are then elected by voters in the general election. For the legislature to change the method for selecting electors after a slate of electors was elected would certainly wind up in court and would have a hard time surviving.
Oh, if it’s official, he WILL win.
The only way Biden can steal this is by fraud with unofficial and illegal ballots.
Who is going to throw out invalid mail-in ballots during the recount? Is the recount somehow going to be above board and fair? Why would it be any different than the first “count”?
A State's electors are selected by a method determined by that State's legislature (see Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 of the Constitution). Mail-in ballots and an extended deadline were not part of that method and so are both invalid.
The double steal is in. Biden’s people will be lined up to jump out of basement windows.
And in Pennsylvania that currently is by the voters. Changing that after the fact isn't going to survive the court challenges.
Mail-in ballots and an extended deadline were not part of that method and so are both invalid.
Pennsylvania law allows for mail in ballots so there is nothing wrong with them. The question of extending the deadline for votes to arrive will be up to the courts.
Trump won early on Election Night. There is not a single thing about the present situation that is normal. They are trying to steal it, even now. They’ll start saying “To maintain peace, you need concede.” That needs to be responded to with a huge F88k you from the right. This is the most serious situation that any of us have been in. We can’t let them steal this.
Yep, with all the GOP representatives behind him in this fight , there is no way he can loose!
You are correct.
Even if that happens, Trump will have to survive the treachery of the faithless elector. Even if all of that shakes out in Trumps favor, a serious IF, it won’t take more than one or two to bring about chaos.
