Now they are trying to override the votes in Nevada and Pennsylvania?

How?

Both states have Democratic Governors.
Both states require a 2/3 vote to override the governor's veto.
Both states don't have enough votes in either chamber to override a veto.

So how?

and throwing shit against the wall to see if anything sticks and trying
those 6 or so swing states to see what works.
They are working on Michigan so hard because he hates Whitmer.
He will do it up to the last second.

And that's even assuming that every Repub would vote in favor which is not a sure thing.

that the Feds probably know what these terrorists are going to do before the terrorists know.
Even if they're not infiltrated, they've got to be wondering if they are and who to trust.

where they evidently expect Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Boof McBeerbong and Handmaid Amy to hand the presidency to Trump.

And the losing party appeals all the way to the Supreme Court.

Getting cases tossed out by Trump appointed judges doesn't foretell a desired outcome from SCOTUS
