By now, it has become overwhelmingly obvious that President Trump will lose most or all his court battles over the phantom voter fraud he’s alleging. But there’s still a scenario for Trump that is rattling around the Internet, one that’s widely called a “Hail Mary."

(Skipping lots of good, detailed explanations: Read it all yourself)

For Trump to win in this scenario, numerous states with GOP legislatures would all have to do this extraordinarily rogue act, enough of them to pull Biden down below 270 electoral college votes (this would kick the election in a different sense over to the House, where the relative number of state delegations would decide it).

But for this utterly crazy scenario to work, on top of all that the House would have to relent to that second interpretation in all these cases. Needless to say, that won’t happen. (For the detailed look at this scenario, see this Foley piece.)

Everyone absolutely should remain on alert, to be clear. But all this is absurdly, monumentally implausible.

2. Is there a link to this that ISN'T behind a paywall...?

Or, if not, at least to the "Foley piece" cited.

Sorry, but not all of us subscribe to the WaPo.

3. No. Sorry. Great article that details every change from

The norm that all the states would then be able to trample, forever. It's totsl chaos. And there are too many good people who would have to play along to pull it off. Turtle can't scare or bribe them all. But our payoff comes when legally the states must certify and then the magats will all resent the gop leaders and skip the GA runoff. This is going to save the senate for us.
