Election Month Nightmare Scenario

Something very interesting was on CNN, they said it is very likely Trump will win the day because all his voters will show up to vote that day, but the democrats are mostly going to be voting by mail, so it will appear that Trump wins on election night. But as the mail in ballots come in Biden will win, and it will take up to a month to get them all.
I don't care what side you are on, this is problematic and has never happened before and will cause even more political mayhem.

If on election night Trump seems to have won in a landslide but a month later Biden amazingly overtakes him, this is a real problem for America, the potential for fraud is real and this will go to the Supreme Court and once again they may decide who the President will be, not the voters.

It most certainly has, the 1876 election wasn't settled until two days before the inauguration which was in March at that time.

That’s what they’re counting on. And is a result of the long game Republicans are playing in stacking the Supreme Court. We’re left with having to choose between putting our faith in the people counting the votes or a man who changed a weather map with a sharpie in order to not appear wrong.

The 2000 election wasn't settled until well after election night.

How about all mail in votes should be cast by October 1st

The Dems will need the time to conjure up the winning votes. Trump will appoint another justice after the election and cinch down the court. Pedophilic and seditious heads will explode as they run for cover and discover that their planes have been diverted to GTMO with a US Marine welcoming committee to escort them to their new luxury accommodations.

Something I would point out is the Dec 14th deadline. Electoral college voting date. Anything not counted by then probably would be moot at that point. There will probably be a point a day or so before that the states will have to finalize the vote. Or risk being ignored when the electoral college vote is held.

Wouldn't it be terrible if 2 or 3 states missed the deadline and Trump wins? Especially if those states could have thrown the election to Biden?

That date is set by Congress and can be moved, Rubio introduced a bill recently to move the date to the end of December.

Mayhem is what the democrats want. We've seen that with their push for bLM.

If a Presidential winner is not announced within 24 hrs, patriotic Americans need to put down what ever has been pacifying them into complacence and pick up a gun.

Generations of American's did not die fighting for our Republic to see it subverted by socialist supporting domestic terrorists.

The time to fight is almost at hand.

Why didn't you start shooting something besides your mouth off in 2000?

Democrats can't get their vote in on time to bad. That's why we have
an election day. Not an election month.

Poor democrats have'n to turn to cheating violence sedition espionage
hoax's racism, bio terror! And they still can't get anything to go their
way. And it's hilarious because they're the idiots who kicked God out
every where they could. Not real smart pick'n that fight. lol

Maybe because I was 20 years younger. 20 years less wise.

20 years a liberal who hadn't opened his eyes.

As I pointed out earlier there have been multiple times when the winner was not known until well after election day, it's nothing new.

Then you best lock and load tough guy, the election results most likely won't be known for a while.

Then you have opinion pieces like this running around ...

Democrats may not be able to concede.

In presidential elections, once is a fluke; twice is a pattern. I struggle to imagine how, beyond utter shock, millions of Democrats will process a Trump victory. A loss for Biden, after having been the clear favorite all summer, would provoke mass disillusion with electoral politics as a means of change—at a time when disillusion is already dangerously high. If Democrats can’t beat a candidate as unpopular as Trump during a devastating pandemic and a massive economic contraction, then are they even capable of winning presidential elections anymore? Democracy, after all, is supposed to self-correct after mistakes, particularly mistakes as egregious as electing Donald Trump—whose unfitness for the nation’s highest office makes itself apparent with almost every passing day…

If Trump manages to win, recent polling data indicate, he will likely do so despite losing the popular vote. That will fuel disillusion not just with the election outcome but with the electoral system. The popular-vote numbers will be used to argue that Trump won without winning—again. In theory, this could be a good thing, if it birthed a mass movement to change the way Americans choose their presidents. In practice, though, Republicans, after prevailing only in the Electoral College for the third time in six elections, will vehemently oppose any attempt to abolish it, further driving despair among Democrats that change can come about through “normal” politics.

Liberals have convinced themselves that Republicans are, in one way or another, cheating. In addition to all of Trump’s norm-breaking, the GOP is gerrymandering, purging voter rolls, and shutting down polling places in Black neighborhoods. Yet Republicans wouldn’t have been able to do these things if they hadn’t won enough statewide and local offices in the first place. They have put themselves in a position to enact their favored redistricting and election procedures by finding candidates and pursuing policies that made them competitive in formerly Democratic states, demanding a level of party discipline that Democrats can seldom muster, and getting their supporters to turn out for down-ballot races. Republican manipulation is what the democratic process itself has produced, however unfair, and it can be undone only through that same process, however flawed.

See? They just lost faith because it's all those mean old Republicans fault for not letting California, Chicago, and New York City decide who rules us. They don't get that the EC is actually working as intended because no one ever taught them proper civics.

Wouldn't it be simpler to simply have a receiving deadline of Nov. 3rd? Anything received after that date is moot and left uncounted.

Maybe could make an exception for Military mail. Give that an extra week possibly. And put a warning on the return envelopes that if mailed within a week of the election they should go next day mail or an express service.
