Trump's Coup Attempt

[Gameface]

This is incredible. I think lou Dobbs actually thinks Trump was robbed. Watch the entire thing. He rips Into Devin Nunes

The fate of the republic most definitely hangs in the balance. The peaceful transfer of power is the most sacred bedrock of our nation. We let Trump pretend to be President for 4 years because he got the votes. Now we're gonna play death watch for up to 4 years as Biden pretends to be our president. Because we're ****ing AMERICANS and these are the most basic rules of AMERICA!

I mean, there's pretty good evidence that a corrupt post office slow down did occur. Thankfully Biden had enough of a lead that it didn't make a critical difference but it might have.

Through deliberate mismanagement, sure. That's different from having people deliberately pull ballots out of the mail.

Another example of a non military coup would be to bribe or otherwise persuade the electors to not vote for whom their state elected. I don't think that's too likely, but...

From something I remember reading about the last election there were 7 electors who went against the voters. 5 gave the votes to trump after the voters voted for clinton and 2 gave the votes to clinton after the voters voted for trump.
Is that true?
If so then it wouldn't be surprising at all for this to happen.

There were 10, but none of them went Clinton to Trump (or Trump to Clinton).

From Wikipedia:

• In Washington, Democratic Party electors gave three presidential votes to Colin Powell and one to Faith Spotted Eagle and these electors cast vice-presidential votes for Elizabeth Warren, Maria Cantwell, Susan Collins, and Winona LaDuke.
• In Hawaii, Bernie Sanders received one presidential vote and Elizabeth Warren received one vice-presidential vote.
• In Texas, Christopher Suprun voted for John Kasich for president and another elector voted for Ron Paul, giving each one presidential vote. Suprun also voted for Carly Fiorina as vice president while the other elector voted for Mike Pence as pledged.[41]

In addition, three other electors attempted to vote against their pledges but had their votes invalidated:

• In Colorado, Kasich received one vote for president, which was invalidated, and the elector was replaced by one who cast a vote for Clinton.[42]
• In Maine, a Democratic Party elector voted for Bernie Sanders but was forced to cast a vote for Clinton.
• In Minnesota, another Democratic Party elector tried to do the same but was replaced by one who cast a vote for Clinton. The same Minnesota elector voted for Tulsi Gabbard for vice president but had that vote invalidated and given to Tim Kaine.

There are laws in several states that require the electors to cast their vote for the candidate that won the election in their state. I'm just trying to remember what I've read about it but I believe in some other case it was stated that even without a specific law states would be able to remove a faithless elector, invalidate their selection and replace them with a person who will cast their vote for the person who won.

It would be such an insane way to try to overturn the election. The U.S. as we know it would be done.

Trump allies are hyping a desperate, improbable plan to replace the electoral college with loyalists who will ignore voters and hand Trump a second term

Trump allies are circulating a wild plan to overturn the election result, but it faces near-impossible legal, political and constitutional obstacles.

He could, if he had it in him, address his followers: “the election was free of any substantive cheating/dishonesty. The election was not stolen, and I ask my followers to accept the results”. Of course, next to impossible that he would do that. Instead, what he is doing is to help build that alternate reality narrative that will help poison our body politic for the foreseeable future. He has the power to diffuse this situation, and help, greatly help, his country and fellow citizens by so doing. Nobody else can do this, given that this is a cult, and he needs to give his followers permission to accept reality. One of, if not the most, destructive individuals in our history.

Aren’t both sides the same? If Biden lost, can’t you imagine him spouting off conspiracies on CNN while Democratic senators enable him???
LOL

Trump says for the first time Biden won the election but later insists he's not conceding

President Donald Trump acknowledged for the first time on Sunday that Joe Biden won the presidential election, but the President refused to concede and blamed his loss on a string of conspiracy theories.
