(10,369 posts)I can see a Harris victory going smoothly, with election deniers/certification refusers being compelled by courts to certify results long before any safe harbor dates are reached. I can see efforts to pull off another insurrection failing as individuals contemplate the long sentences 01/06/21 insurrectionists have received....
Or
I can see all hell breaking loose, with mobs disrupting election officials in their duty and with cases appealed and appealed until blackrobbed SCOTUS traitors step in as they did in 2000 and declare some sort of "halt" at a partial outcome that favors trump.
Or
It could end up in the house. What happens there would very much depend on how close the election appears (behind whatever chaos that put it in their hands). If it's clear Harris won and is being denied by corrupt election officials in select states, I think there would be enough of a split on the Republican side to end up with the right result (Harris). If it is very close, I can see Republicans who might do the right thing in the face of a clear victory get squirrely and use the closeness to support a Trump steal.
Of course, if vote counts and the allocation of electors favors trump, we'll still have a lot of litigation over unlawfully tossed out votes. It could still get quite messy.
I really don't have any sense of how likely or unlikely this or that scenario may be. Something not yet on the radar could come into play. The only thing we can do is to do whatever we can to make the margin for Harris so large no amount of violence or corruption can overcome it.
