The Trump team is doing a legal challenge based around "they do not have the authority to make that decision - they've exceeded their statutory powers". Those particular votes are being counted, but kept in seperate boxes, because the (so the thing I read claimed) legal case has merit, and they might need to be discounted.

osmark86 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 so the party currently in power provides the proof against the runners up trying to delegitimize the results so that they can remain in power... ...and they're crying fraud against the runners up? and people buy this? The US is a strange place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The US is a strange place. States are like mini-countries with their own governments. Adding to the complication of that. The states can have a mixed government. PA, for example, has a Democratic governor, 1 of each in the Senate and Republican held senate/house. Meaning different parties can try and do what they think is right. Imagine this x52 then at a federal level. It's a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 A sitting President has not lost a re-election in 30 years. Trump is a loser of great proportions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The R government said that counting couldn't happen until election day and the Dems in PA went to the PA SC to determine whether postmarked votes up until 3rd Nov could be counted. Either way, even with this, it won't be enough for Trump so whatever really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shouldn't be, but I'm generally worried that somehow he's going to steal this thing by just shouting the loudest and having powerful people back him up.

Morally it seems wrong, but legally it looks strong (according to the Murcan lawyer). It will not be relevant is my prediction. The number of ballots separated will be nowhere near the eventual total number of votes Trump has to overcome. Even if the legal action has merit, it will be irrelevant and the GOP know that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted November 6, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted November 6, 2020 Trump will isolate himself fully, as others have suggested I think he'll just walk in order to claim some sort of control, claiming it's not his fault but that everything is rigged against him.

My understanding is that its a pretty trivial number of ballots involved, compared to the scale of the likely Biden lead once all the ballots that arrived by election day have been counted.
