It's the 70s all over again. Nixon gone, Carter inherits a bad economy at a bad time, just get us thru the next 4 years and we'll hit the reset button, both GOP & DNC.  Personally I'd be ok if he chose Condi Rice and I think he should. Bring the country together & have someone experienced & competant in as VP.

Ok, here it is, per newsweek.  tl;dr:  Trump challenges close states & it goes to court. Electoral College 'official vote' is December 14th. If the court case isn't settled by December 14 the EC votes anyway without said states.  If neither candidate has 270 it goes to the House, but each state gets 1 vote from the house based on majority of votes. So, if 26 states have more R than D reps, they can win it. (R or D per state would be different from Dems holding the majority, if you get what I'm saying. For instance Cali might have 20 house rep seats, but counts as 1, but so would Montana, Wyoming, ND, SD etc)

    Biden wins the popular vote, and carries the key swing states of Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania by decent but not overwhelming margins.
    Trump immediately declares that the voting was rigged, that there was mail-in ballot fraud and that the Chinese were behind a plan to provide fraudulent mail-in ballots and other "election hacking" throughout the four key swing states that gave Biden his victory.
    Having railed against the Chinese throughout the campaign, calling Biden "soft on China," Trump delivers his narrative claiming the Chinese have interfered in the U.S. election.
    Trump indicates this is a major national security issue, and he invokes emergency powers, directing the Justice Department to investigate the alleged activity in the swing states. The legal justification for the presidential powers he invokes has already been developed and issued by Barr.
    The investigation is intended to tick down the clock toward December 14, the deadline when each state's Electoral College electors must be appointed. This is the very issue that the Supreme Court harped on in Bush v. Gore in ruling that the election process had to be brought to a close, thus forbidding the further counting of Florida ballots.
    All four swing states have Republican control of both their upper and lower houses of their state legislatures. Those state legislatures refuse to allow any Electoral College slate to be certified until the "national security" investigation is complete.
    The Democrats will have begun a legal action to certify the results in those four states, and the appointment of the Biden slate of electors, arguing that Trump has manufactured a national security emergency in order to create the ensuing chaos.
    The issue goes up to the Supreme Court, which unlike the 2000 election does not decide the election in favor of the Republicans. However, it indicates again that the December 14 Electoral College deadline must be met; that the president's national security powers legally authorize him to investigate potential foreign country intrusion into the national election; and if no Electoral College slate can be certified by any state by December 14, the Electoral College must meet anyway and cast its votes.
    The Electoral College meets, and without the electors from those four states being represented, neither Biden nor Trump has sufficient votes to get an Electoral College majority.
    The election is thrown into the House of Representatives, pursuant to the Constitution. Under the relevant constitutional process, the vote in the House is by state delegation, where each delegation casts one vote, which is determined by the majority of the representatives in that state.
    Currently, there are 26 states that have a majority Republican House delegation. 23 states have a majority Democratic delegation. There is one state, Pennsylvania, that has an evenly split delegation. Even if the Democrats were to pick up seats in Pennsylvania and hold all their 2018 House gains, the Republicans would have a 26 to 24 delegation majority.
    This vote would enable Trump to retain the presidency.

and Al Gore conceded on Dec 13 due to the EC vote, even tho the counting was somewhat still to be ongoing. So some of it isn't entirely unprecedented.

I don't think trump makes it to election day.  Yesterday, was a MASSIVE pivot on cornavirus and masks. And this president NEVER pivots!

Someone got to him about how bad this winter may become, and that it really needs attention, direction, and something needs to be done. I bet he was predicting on restarting the riots to divert attention from covid, which is why he wanted to send in federal agents to multiple northern, urban cities, since covid is mostly down south.  There haven't been protests in Philly in over a month. I don't think NYC has had them either for some time.

Someone talked him out of that. I think ppl were prepared to quit & out him over it.
