One of the nightmare scenarios is trump claiming victory and getting the Pennsylvania legislature to stop the counting while trump is ahead. This might be done under the guise of stopping “the rigging of the election”

It starts with trump delegitimizing the election. Which is what he is doing right now.

Trump isn’t going to refuse to vacate after a certified election result. It would be rather entertaining if he did.

The real problem is it’s quite possible he’ll make a play if he gets some help from a few republican state legislatures to send conflicting electoral votes. Keep in mind there are hundreds of Louis Gomerts and Steve Kings filling up state legislatures around the country - the inmates are running the asylums.

We need to remember the lessons of 2000 Bush/Gore. We were counting on what’s legal and right while repigs were staging phony riots:

2000 was a street fight and we thought we were in a court fight.
