President Donald Trump arrives at Election Day on Tuesday toggling between confidence and exasperation, bravado and grievance, and marinating in frustration that he is trailing Joe Biden, whom he considers an unworthy opponent.
Man, its going to be embarrassing if I lose to this guy, Trump has told advisers, a lament he has aired publicly as well. But in the off-camera version, Trump frequently exclaims, This guy! in reference to Biden, with a salty adjective separating the words.
Trailing in most polls, Trump has careened through a marathon series of rallies in the past week, trying to tear down Biden and energize his supporters, but also fixated on crowd size and targeting perceived enemies like the news media and Dr. Anthony Fauci, the federal governments infectious disease expert whom he suggested Sunday he might try to dismiss after the election.
At every turn, the president has railed that the voting system is rigged against him and has threatened to sue when the election is over, in an obvious bid to undermine an electoral process strained by the coronavirus pandemic. It is not clear, however, precisely what legal instruments Trump believes he has at his disposal.

(8,751 posts)The election is "over" when all 50 states (and territories) certify and send in their results. When the EC is then selected and sent to whatever hidey hole they go to and formally vote. Then the Senate accepts that vote or decides the election if the EC is hung.
I thought his brain was bigly and his Wharton education should have taught him basic fucking civics.
