You have to assume that if the Republicans steal this in the face of clear electoral loss then they're delaying an absolute devastating impact for themselves and Trump just isn't worth it.

It's really convoluted to pull this off and requires a lot of different things to fall the right way, but not impossible. If you're interested in this particular political game, Seth Abramson's podcast explains it in episode 7.

Not all states are allowed to start counting mail ballots prior to Nov 3rd - there isn't a consistent fedaral law, it's down to an individual state's legislature as to how ballots are counted.

It's more likely that mail ballots are bias towards democrat votes and in-person voting skews towards republican voters who believe Covid-19 is a hoax so isn't a danger standing in a queue next to the person coughing whilst maskless.Last edited by MartyG; 27-10-2020, 17:34.
