In reply to the discussion: 'These are dictator moves': Defense officials alarmed as Trump installs more loyalists at the Pentag [View all]Lonestarblue
(9,874 posts)2. At the moment, the bigger problem is senior Republicans egging him on.
I really dont know what they hope to accomplish. After much digging, they have found no credible evidence of ballot fraud. Courts will throw out their cases, and based on the margin of Bidens win, I doubt even the Trump Supreme Court would take the case. I dont think Roberts wants to be in the middle of something like this.
That leaves Republican legislatures appointing their own slate of delegates to the EC, which will also be overturned in the courts because the vote in each state where this might be tried supports Biden by the thousands and they need credible evidence of fraud to do this, which they do not have.
What are Republicans gaining from this charade?

I thought it was always in close proximity, no more than a moment away. There will be no time.
