Actually all works in Trump’s favor...
The certification of state delegates has until December 8th to settle dusputes. 6 days before EC votes are cast at their state capitals on December 14. Then the certification is transmitted to congress by December 23.
Trump and litigation can tie up the challenged state certification and run out the clock by December 8. When that happens, then the EC vote has no ability to get the 270 majority, so it goes into a contingency vote that gives each state legislature 1 EC vote.
Whichever candidate receives a majority of 50 votes cast by each state legislature is the president-elect.
Republicans control 29 of the 50 state legislatures.
Do the math.
This is exactly what is frustrating the Dems because they know if they can’t get their delegates dusputes settled/unchallenged and certified by December 8... the Republican legislatures will elect the Trump.
If Trump refuses to concede, he wins.
Excellent post
You almost have it correct. It is not State Legislatures which vote for the President, it is the House of Represenatives voting by State delegation of which the Republicans control at least 26 in the new Congress.
