Given how many states Trump's challenging, it's time to ask what I asked months ago and never got an answer to--while the courts are clearly not giving Trump victories he wants, what happens if he continues to keep the states tied up in the appeals process, and thus prevents MI/AZ/PA/GA (states that have R legislatures) from certifying their results before the December 8 deadline?

I can't speak for the other states, but in Georgia the legislature is not involved in the process:

(b) The Secretary of State shall also, upon receiving the certified returns for presidential electors, proceed to tabulate, compute, and canvass the votes cast for each slate of presidential electors and shall immediately lay them before the Governor. Not later than 5:00 P.M. on the seventeenth day following the date on which such election was conducted, the Secretary of State shall certify the votes cast for all candidates described in subparagraph (a)(4)(A) of Code Section 21-2-497 and upon all questions voted for by the electors of more than one county and shall no later than that same time lay the returns for presidential electors before the Governor. The Governor shall enumerate and ascertain the number of votes for each person so voted and shall certify the slates of presidential electors receiving the highest number of votes. The Governor shall certify the slates of presidential electors no later than 5:00 P.M. on the eighteenth day following the date on which such election was conducted. Notwithstanding the deadlines specified in this Code section, such times may be altered for just cause by an order of a judge of superior court of this state.

So based on the wording Kemp at least can't just unilaterally say screw it and refuse to certify it or appoint his own electors?

That's my interpretation.

The Trump campaign is getting destroyed in court.

They withdrew the suit after it was discovered the "illegal votes" they alleged were actually military absentee votes.

But of course, all these suits are just a fundraising tool to convince his base to burn their money.

In the mirror universe known as PredictIt, Trump's price in PA has surged to 25 cents because RCP changed the state to uncalled for no logical reason.

RCP never called PA for Biden. I even posted that on Saturday:

Just saw that Real Clear Politics hasn't call the election for Biden yet...

It's certainly possible that the next batch could go strongly to Trump. People are looking at a municipal map of Arizona and seeing what areas are below their 2016 turnout levels. I'm not sure I agree with the premise, but you never know.

I get why an ego maniac like trump will never accept the fact that he lost this election
but I have need no idea why so many in the GOP are still going along with him at this point beacause
the reality is by the end of all of this Biden will sworn in as the 46th president of the united states come January

There is simply no evidence of voter fraud that is large enough to reverse the results of this election and all the investigations from Bill Barr in the world is not going to change that fact

They know there is no voter fraud. This is to keep the base happy and turnout high for 2022.

I assume that Republicans don't want to lose all these new voters Trump has attracted to the GOP base. Capitol Hill GOP probably acknowledges that Trump lost, but they need to put up a show just to show to these voters they are fighting for the "truth", as is Trump, and hope they can secure their votes for the future.

Why did Trump go up to 18 cents on PredictIt?

Yeah I just figured that out, the market was pumped with the false report that it was called then retracted regardless.

The same thing happened when someone on twitter cited ABC withdrawing their Arizona call. Except ABC never called Arizona, yet Predictit ate it up.

Who is worrying about AZ?


I am, very much

Your going to want to look away because its going to get closer.

[MR DARK BRANDON]

I am, very much

There is no reason whatsoever to worry about AZ
biden still wins it in the end but even if trump does win
It would not change the outcome of the election at all.

heck the only thing a Trump win in AZ would do is make Fox News look even more sillier than they currently do lol

Being part of Trump's GOP is like being part of a violent gang.  You can't leave it.  You owe your existence to it.  And if you do try to leave they hunt you down.  They all live in fear of Trump's chubby orange fingers hovering over the "tweet" button on twitter.

I'll crunch the numbers once the website updates, but that's not nearly as good enough for Trump as he needs.  I was expecting something much worse from his earlier tweet.
