They will. And they'll take it to the Supreme Court, where they'll just install Trump as the winner of the election. Mark my words.
Humbug. I take cynicism lightly.
They didn't get past mailing in the forged documents last time, and they have a worse chance this time.
They'd have to do something different, like state legislatures passing laws that say they don't have to listen to appointed electors.
That's already failed, but that's the tack I think they'll try to refine, since they're approaching it so poorly right now and direct forgeries don't work
I would think that failure just exposes points of improvement. They failed before, but now they know how to succeed. :(
I think that's just distant fatalism.
It's not like they can forge the documents better this time.
They'll have to try completely different, like changing State legislatures to somehow ignore election results or claim that the state can use their own electors.
Most of the people who forged the documents or participated in the conspiracy the last time are going to be pretty busy in trial or testifying in trials.
Dozens of people, anyone significantly involved in the fake electors scheme is facing charges or will be facing charges soon, many of them have already pled guilty.
I hope you're right!
yeah. I doubt they would do that unless there was a precedence set for a court to determine a presidential election.
There is. Bush v Gore
That was technically a procedure to allow or disallow a recount of a specific vote in a specific district in Florida. And yes, the Supreme Court will be ruling on those again.
Gore vs Bush...
