In order to win, Donnie needs 3 of the 4 remaining states, one of which must be Pennsylvania

[unblock]

It's unlikely, but distantly possible he gets one of them.

But three?

Virtually impossible.

They may not know exactly which states for sure, but this election is in the bag.

[Salviati]

1. Also why I'm not worried about court challenges or other rebpublican bullshit.

Maybe they could pick off one state if they needed it, but to flip 3 states would mean that they would retain power over a country in ruins.

[unblock]

2. Exactly. If it were down to one state, the supremes could steal it for him

As they did in 2000.

But 3 states?

No way. The court knows they can't get away with that.

[Clearly fogged in]

3. Clearly a transition team cannot go in prior to a declaration or concession.

No one can expect any sort of meaningful turnover from this admin. Are records from this admin at risk of being lost in the interim?

[unblock]

5. Why would donnie cooperate with a transition anyway?

He's going to destroy all records and plant listening devices and maybe even put razor blades in the sofa cushions.

[Clearly fogged in]

7. figuratively speaking, all that and more

are the wh staff of like mind with trump on bringing things to their deadlines?

[Clearly fogged in]

12. sarcasm, I presume

[unblock]

13. sarcasm isn't quite the right word.

maybe parts of it getting a bit into hyperbole, but with this bunch of crooks who knows....

[Clearly fogged in]

14. It's the one neighbor who demands and gets speedbumps

5 or 6 between here and the stop sign (inauguration)

[Clearly fogged in]

15. can he attempt to invalidate an entire states electoral vote?

Could the courts nullify a state or two? It would become 538 minus PA 26 = 512, still needing 270 to win. Rinse and repeat.

[unblock]

16. likely no.

generally speaking, state legislatures can't overturn elections unless they've already passed laws allowing them to do so and then satisfy all those laws' requirements. chances are good they can't do this in the several states they'd need to do this in.

courts can do things like order recounts or stop recounts, but throwing out ballots that have been reviewed and approved by the party observers seems far-fetched. outright nullifying an election would be unheard of.

i don't think any judge wants to tell an entire state that their entire election will be thrown out. there would have to be clear-cut evidence of massive election fraud for that, and there's nothing remotely like that because it's all a republican fantasy.

17. + ty

[Kaleva]

6. A candidate can form a transition team weeks or even months before an election.

[Clearly fogged in]

8. at what point is the transition team granted access

This administration a lost cause, a restart may be needed. What I'm really looking for is, at what risk are documents of this admin to being hidden, altered, or destroyed?

[Kaleva]

9. Biden has been receiving security briefings sine he was nominated.

I imagine the people Biden has on his transition team are well experienced with how Washington works and are busy every day.

As I understand it, Biden and his team don't get full access until he is sworn in. We also have to remember that Biden will not officially be president-elect until the electors vote in December.

[Clearly fogged in]

10. ah, that answers all the questions

Joe's staff does not have full access until after being sworn in. As vindictive as this administration is it is easy to imagine the same fate as the library at alexandria

[coti]

4. Correct. It's over.

They need to call it.

[Volaris]

11. Which is why we should all be patient.

Count every damn vote, then count them all again to validate their legality if necessary.

The math says we won this. Who cares if it takes another week for it to be official.
