    This is naive thinking. They tried to overturn the result in 2020 and they’ve had four years to hone their strategy. Moderates who defended the election process last round have been pushed out of office. States with GOP legislatures in particular could refuse to certify totals and instead send electors of their own choosing.

    It’s not as simple as who gets more votes. The process requires that officials at multiple levels of government work in good faith, and there are a lot of bad faith actors taking office. Look at who won the Maricopa County primaries yesterday. That’s the modern GOP.

      I tend to think that once the media calls each state on election night, it becomes very difficult to move forward with contested results UNLESS it comes down to a single state again. If it’s a toss up, they’ll flex but if it takes flipping multiple states I think the Supreme Clowns will probably take the L.
