They will not vote to confirm by Nov 3 [View all]
There isn't any need to and it lets some of the Senates troubled repukes be like "see, we aren't really the giant hypocrites you all think we are."
In the month after Nov 3, they will replace RBG with Scalia V2.
Because...
Dec. 8, 2020: Deadline for Resolving Election Disputes. All state recounts and court contests over presidential election results must be completed by this date.
Dec. 14, 2020: Meeting of the Electors. The electors meet in each state and cast their ballots for president and vice president. Each elector votes on his or her own ballot and signs it. The ballots are immediately transmitted to various people: one copy goes to the president of the U.S. Senate (who is also the vice president of the United States); this is the copy that will be officially counted later. Other copies go to the state's secretary of state, the National Archives and Records Administration, and the presiding judge in the district where the electors meet (this serves as a backup copy that would replace the official copy sent to the president of the Senate if it is lost or destroyed).
Dec. 23, 2020: Deadline for Receipt of Ballots. The electors' ballots from all states must be received by the president of the Senate by this date. There is no penalty for missing this deadline.
Jan. 6, 2021: Counting of the Electoral Ballots. The U.S. Congress meets in joint session to count the electoral votes.
They have this long to raise court cases (like in 2000 these would go to the Supreme Court almost immediately) about the slates of electors from swing states with mail in ballots. And in a 5-4 decision the Supreme Court could allow a different slate to be recognized. Could be 6-3... but Roberts seems to be a bit more independent than the fascists would like.
And that is how Trump will "win" a second term and how the Senate will still be run by Mitch.
Now, how do we stop this from happening?
