My morning election question. ( I feel the GOP gameplan is tie this election up in the courts)

[bluestarone]

If not decided by Jan 1st what happens in the House and Senate? Is it possible that the new House and Senate could be seated? If yes, and we get control ( of BOTH) Our investigation can begin in the Senate and house right?

1. Ir they somehow are able to get a case to SCOTUS..

they will side with the clear winner regardless of some supposed voting irregularities.

I am convinced at least Roberts will vote with our side if Biden wins by a substantial margin.

2. Yes.

The presidency may be in court for a time but the down ballot races will most likely be decided when mail in votes are counted. And yes, the new Congress can begin their work weeks before the inauguration.

3. And this term is done on Jan 20 regardless.

7. Yup.

4. At least THIS would be nice!!

Unless they figure out a way to stop the whole fucking election.

5. Courts

If it’s dragged out past Jan. 20, Nancy becomes interim President.

8. don't the repukes know this?

This end game ends badly for them. If Nancy assumes office as President, we will have law and order at the helm. People will know what Democrats can do, will do and they will be better off as a result.

Go ahead, repukes, make my day...

6. He is going to declare victory and do everything he can to shut it down

They will use the courts toward that end, but make us have to resort to using the courts to enforce the existing laws.
