    If he were to drag it out to the federal certification date (around Dec10th) iirc the house gets to choose how to select those electors. Not sure why he would want that.

    If he wanted to go at the problem of not being elected militarily, this gives him time to tighten his hold. However, he is commander in chief until Jan 20th either way so I can't see that mattering either.

    Doesn't congress selecting the electors work in a way that actually gives republicans the advantage as it's done a different way and not just house majority?

    Little column A, little column B. Gives him a platform, plus the more time he spends spreading false information about how the election was stolen, the more his base eats it up. Remember, there's 45% of the voting population who flat out said all the things he's done the last 4 years were A-OK by them and will fall in line. You also have a more extreme group like the Oathkeepers who flat out said they won't accept Biden as the president, feel he's going to be an unlawful president, and I wouldn't put it above them to attempt an attack on his or Kamala's life.

    TL;DR even once Biden is sworn in, say a prayer for the USSS, as I think we may be seeing a full on assassination attempt over the next 4 years, while Donnie Boy manages to bankrupt a new news station to go against Fox News.

    Here's the thing, I think an attempt on the President's life might be the only thing to bring the Country together... if it can't, nothing can.

    In the short term. Really simply, education would bring enough together, but that's a lofty and lengthy goal. Also impossible. Because "reasons".

    Less actually/willfully stupid people and we'd be set. If there weren't actually this many ignorant people they would be a lot less inclined to act a fool.

    Doubt it
    Half the country would cheer it. If it was by an American citizen, the half that like Trump would take that as the first shot of civil war.

    I mean Trump got covid and you saw the reaction. No one on the left is suddenly going to care about him if someone tries to assassinate him.

    So the closest state count in the country only changed about 1200 votes.

    Going into the hand tally, Biden led Trump by a margin of about 14,000 votes. The previously uncounted ballots discovered during the hand count will reduce that margin to about 12,800, Sterling said.

    The fact trump gained ground will just fuel the right's belief about fake votes and what not.
