Any thoughts?

If tRump et al can use the court post election to void the election and assjgn trump king, how far down ticket will all elections be voided? Does it mean McConnell, Graham, Collins and many others will keep their seats? May be why McConnell et all are hell bent on sitting a judge. They can keep President and senate after loosing. Please, tell me I am wrong. McConnell and Graham may see they can be fired so this is how they keep their jobs, I use that title very loosely.

Like Bush/Gore. Stop counting chads, Supreme Court says Bush is President. Do you not think he can say do not count any mail in ballots after Nov 3rd, and declare count final on election night and claim victory without mail ins counted. With full support of Barr, and a 6-3 court on Nov 4. This is a valid question, if you have been watching for the last 4 years. TRump all but said it on Faux this morning. He wants Supreme Court to rule on illegal mail in votes immediately and he wants His 3rd appointee seated for that fight.

Forget void. Trump has said many times he will not accept a lose as valid and will take it to court to strategicly throw out mail ins. He wants this new judge to rule in his favor. My question is, with McConnell, Graham, Collins and Tillis looking at possible defeat, will they be able to make the same claim with loses and send their defeats to the court? Seems they have a lot to gain with pushing through another judge.
