Nothing is settled of course. But doing just the math, it looks grim for Trump. The Supreme court only rules on Constitutional issues in the election. I am reading some history in SCOUS rulings, and it is interesting that they have in past generaly held that the individual states have the right to set the rules on how votes are counted and deadlines. for usch. The challenges in Wis, Mich, and PA will probably be along the lines of PA allowing ballots postmarked after the election day being counted. It is going to be argues that since bills, and legal documents mailed are accepted as being paid or filed based on postmark, it states to logic that ballots postmarked on or before 11 - 3- 2020 are valid, after that no. This is going to be very interesting legally.
Or already is in some locales:Hang on America.
It’s fixin’ to get sporty.
Almost sure to end up 52-48.If the Senate ends up being 50 -50, the Vice President votes as tie breaker.
A republican representative needs to put EYES on the physical ballots and cut the BS. Being able to review the ballots is an agreement made when mail in ballots are in play in an election. Pennsylvania and a few other key states are being very vague and not allowing these to be seen at all. Do you think that is acceptable?
A lot hinges on the special election in GA. Looking at the votes totals so far, and the county break downs. It is going to be very close. All depends on how and what happens in the pre-runnoff campaignAlmost sure to end up 52-48.
Add up the votes for both R candidates and they far outnumber the D. And in the runoff, I would expect all of the R votes (from both candidates in the general) to go for the R candidate.A lot hinges on the special election in GA.

I agree that it is looking that way, but it could end up being 51 49. Anything to keep that loon Harris from being a tie breaker.
Plus, with Barrett sitting on the Supreme Court, I do feel a bit safer in regards to any nonsense pulled by Democrats, even IF Biden and Harris get the Whitehouse.
Thank you, Mitch.
Generally that is how it works. The key voter theory is how many of those R voters voted against the other R candidate?? How many of the voters who voted against the other candidate would vote for the runnoff R candidate ? How many who voted against the losing R candiate would vote against the R candidate in the runoff and vote D, because they just will not vote for the candidate no matter what? How many will vote for the R candidate regardless of who it is?Add up the votes for both R candidates and they far outnumber the D. And in the runoff, I would expect all of the R votes (from both candidates in the general) to go for the R candidate.
How many people who would vote for any R would ever vote for a D?Generally that is how it works. The key voter theory is how many of those R voters voted against the other R candidate??

There are a few things that we can count on:The Congress will have a weakened Democrat House, and a Republican majority Senate. Regardless of who is President, and if recent history is any indication, there will be gridlock on the Hill, unless someone can swallow some serious horse-trading. And that's not necessarily a bad thing.
And I agree, "what-iffing" at this time is pointless.
My boat lost all mine.
The title makes you look like a silly doomer. Many people will lose any interest in what you say after that.The title was carefully chosen to get the TGT members to look at this post.
Abusive, derogatory, sarcastic, belittling comments do absolutely nothing to further conversation about this real topic.
Discussion looking at logic, flaws in analysis of the possible ramifications of this election as well as any and all statements of personal fears, concerns and worries over the potential for abuse of the LTC records are certainly encouraged and needed. Snarky comments really do not enhance this discussion.
