Reply to: Delay the US election

Well we had the whole controversy over "hanging chads" but that ended when one candidate capitulated.

If there was a clear genuine doubt over the legitimacy of results, or for example someone steals/destroys ballots, what does happen?

As suggested above I don't really see the point of TRump arguing over mail-in votes. The states which seem to be pushing on this appear to be strong Dem states anyway, unless there's a swing state I missed?

I wonder if there might be a flood of claims from the women who he grabbed by the pussy as he so charmingly put it?

That's going to be the least of his problems - civil prosecution he is good at dealing with, but criminal stuff by prosecutors from all over the country should feck him up for good.

I doubt he'd risk pardnoning himself, so it might be his only choice, but in any case it does not save him from any crimes he forgot to put on pardon and/or all state crimes: a lot of federal crimes are also crimes in states and prosecutors there are counting days till 21st Jan 2021.

Should be fun day

What if he ignores a losing result? And claims fake result?

It isn't just an act with you, is it?

He and his family needs extensive pardons before he leaves office

Press: Trump's final presidential pardon: himself | TheHill

Jan. 20, 2021. EXCLUSIVE TO THE HILL: According to official documents obtained by our team of White House correspondents, President Trump’s last official act as president, just minutes before leaving the White House to head directly for Mar-A-Lago, pointedly boycotting incoming President Joe Biden’s Inauguration, was to issue one final presidential pardon.

In a brief written statement, Trump said, “Under absolute powers bestowed on me as president under Article II of the Constitution, I am awarding a full prospective, presidential pardon to the person who has been the most unfairly investigated and persecuted by our corrupt system of justice: Donald J. Trump.”

He’ll set new record after he loses his immunity and free lawyers from DOJ + GOP funded defense

He and his family needs extensive pardons before he leaves office - and I doubt blanket pardon (for any crimes ever done or done in the future (by continueing to evade taxes) would stand legal scrutiny, even if Pence does it in the first place - that might doom his career which he certainly cares about a lot.

And then there are usually state crimes that mirror federal crimes but can't be pardoned.

Exclusive: Trump's 3,500 lawsuits unprecedented for a presidential nominee

As of today, July 10th 2017, Trump is involved in about 4,050 lawsuits. Of these 1929 cases were filed against him, the rest were filed by him.

He's obviously going to sit and sulk in the White House if he loses; there will clearly be no congratulatory phone call. The legal process will be entertaining.

Good stuff

He wants to get rid of the postal vote, but I don't think it would make any difference even if he could.

It would make the difference - supress Republican vote because historically they did better job at it than Democrats

He obviously knows he can't do it, or maybe he is too dumb to comprehend it - either way he is just looking for something to blame for his own failures, what a fooking loser.

More of a 'when' than an 'if', surely?

Well that's a taken for already, the more important thing is what happens once he has done this?

1 - He can't delay it. The Constitution says he can't.
2 - If, for any reason, it is delayed, he ceases to be President on 20th Jan 2021 regardless. The new (acting) President will be the Speaker, which is currently Nancy Pelosi. Pick the bones out of that, Trumpy...
