Let's just say, for the sake of discussion, Harris wins Florida or Texas. Or both.

[lees1975]

Do we think the state government would certify the vote, or have they rigged it in order to tell where all the liberal votes were coming from and how to put a stop to Harris carrying a conservative state.

1. They would be required to

2. God that would be sweet if she won one or both of those large states

4. If They Call Florida Or Texas For Kamala Early, Just Turn Off Your TV. It's Over.

Likewise North Carolina. Trump can't win without those States.

7. What?

And miss out on all that ecstasy?

3. Biden Probably DID Win Texas In 2020

He lost Texas by about 250,000 votes. Attorney General Ken Paxton invalidated over 4 million mail-in votes, most of them from heavily Democratic areas, and bragged about it later. So yeah, in a fair election, she probably could win Texas, but I don't think Paxton will allow it to happen. The nice thing is, I'm pretty sure all their dirty tricks are on the front end, to KEEP people from voting. I don't think they have anything in place to invalidate the votes AFTER they've been cast. So if she ends up ahead in the voting in Texas, I don't see them being able to steal it on the back end.

In Florida, I think she has a puncher's chance. It's close there, and there's a marijuana legalization measure on the ballot that will likely drive a lot of young turnout. Can't remember whether there's an abortion issue on the ballot too. These kinds of things being on the ballot will increase turnout, which is always good for Democrats (that's why I'm feeling optimistic about holding Arizona--they've got an abortion measure on the ballot that they're saying will pass easily). Plus, from what I'm hearing, the hurricane may depress turnout in some heavy Republican areas.

10. +1, at this point Texas is a dictatorship with lowest voter access in the union

5. Depends on the shitbird(s) in question.

I can't tell you which people in which states would do which, but they won't all make the same decisions. They each evaluate the risk/reward differently, even in situations where their actions seem nonsensical or self-harmful to an outsider. They've each got their own slightly different delusions, motives, goals. You know that saying "all politics is local" well so is all nuttery.

6. As a Texan, I am sure the entire Republican trifecta and Republican triplex

will do everything possible to stop the certification, but it won't work. It will cause even more distrust, but in the end the rule of law will prevail and these clowns will be exposed as the anarchists that they have been for the last 30 years.

8. One thing I'm sure of

Is Paxton will be shi..ing out lawsuits no matter what. Lawsuits against blue areas, against other states, and against the federal government. He already has some out there. But probably have some waiting in the wings ready to go.

9. Writ of Mandamus?

You file a lawsuit to make a government official do his/her/its/their job.
