Interesting article, but one paragraph is very frightening:

For Trump, the attack on absentee voting serves a dual purpose. Supporters of former Vice President Joe Biden are twice as likely as Trump supporters to say they plan to vote by mail, so Trump’s campaign has launched a barrage of lawsuits to stop states from expanding access to mail-in voting.

Though Trump can’t stop absentee voting entirely, he can attack its legitimacy and, potentially, lay the groundwork to declare himself the winner before all votes are counted. Because more Republicans will likely vote in person, early returns may show Trump with a large lead until officials can tally a flood of absentee ballots.

3. He can declare himself the winner all he wants. He has NO legal recourse to stop the counting of

Legal ballots that were received on time

4. perfect timing to distrupt and slow down the USPS!! And DeJoy has NOT put back the

fast sorting machines. In fact, he said said he will not.

5. The large blue states will screw it up

Example - NJ - Trenton has allowed votes to be counted two weeks early.

From local boards - the GOP trolls are all planning to vote by provisional ballot.

If the GOP does this in enough high EC vote states -

He can't declare a win with the square states alone. I mean, he can - but he will look pretty stupid when CA, NJ, NY, PA, etc etc are only a third of the way through counting.

IE - he won't have the 270.

He still has to have 270 to declare victory.
