(28,702 posts)because each state holds their own election. The only states that he would have a chance at are those that are run by republicans, and if the outcome is that clear, I don't see them going out on that ledge.
i believe that if the outcome is clear on election night, all trump can do is make noise. he may incite some violence, but i do not believe that he will be able to change the outcome of the race.

But Pence, in the new Congress, is named President of a joint meeting of House and Senate for the tabulation of EC Votes. So removing Pence is sure to spark a squabble.
And while the Biden Campaign's lawyers have the courts covered, I wonder if they're gaming this out too? Because this seems likely where we're headed.
