What’s the worst that could happen? The election will likely spark violence — and a constitutional crisis (barf alert)

“We explored the four scenarios experts consider most likely: a narrow Biden win; a big Biden win, with a decisive lead in both the electoral college and the popular vote; a Trump win with an electoral college lead but a large popular-vote loss, as in 2016; and finally, a period of extended uncertainty as we saw in the 2000 election.”

Large loss? Hillary won the inflated ballot harvesting popular vote by 2 points.

BLM and Antifa WILL be rioting.

Trump will remain president. Bank on it.

Strangely, they didn’t consider the remote possibility that the American people rally behind Trump and deliver him a convincing victory. I suppose that in that scenario, intense street violence will escalate as distraught terrorists take out their inestimable wrath on the American people, especially businesses, monuments, public buildings, and law enforcement.

I'm also too old to street fight face to face. My point was if BLM,Inc and Antifa make it down my way in mass, I've already talked to younger neighbors and would take point so those behind me can get a bead on them. It would be a privilege and Honor. Really hope it doesn't come to such a scenario, but would do my duty as required by my Navy Oath back in 1975.

AN OATH IS FOREVER

No, that’s not the worse. IMO, that’s inevitable, but the worst is Biden gets in and we lose the House and Senate and NK, here we come.

“A landslide for Joe Biden resulted in a relatively orderly transfer of power.”

Oh boy, they’re going full retard right off the bat, aren’t they?

“Has anyone ever seen or know of any case where Republicans have cheated during election counting?”

Don’t kid yourself. Republicans have been caught cheating too. Usually more in smaller or local elections, but still, nobody is immune to corruption.

A landslide for Joe Biden resulted in a relatively orderly transfer of power. Every other scenario we looked at involved street-level violence and political crisis.

I.e., vote for Biden or we'll kill this country.

The Transition Integrity Project (TIP) is a non-partisan group[1][2] of over 100 current and former senior government and campaign leaders, academics, journalists, polling experts and former federal and state government officials out of concern that the Trump Administration may seek to manipulate, ignore, undermine or disrupt the 2020 presidential election and transition.[3] The organization was formed in late 2019[4] out of concerns around possible manipulation and disruption of the 2020 United States presidential election and transition by the RNC.[3][5][4][6] Initially convened by Rosa Brooks, a law professor at Georgetown and former Pentagon senior official, and Nils Gilman, a former vice chancellor of the University of California, Berkeley and historian at the Berggruen Institute, members of the Transition Integrity Project include: Michael Steele, a former chair of the Republican National Committee; John Podesta, former White House Chief of Staff to former President of the United States Bill Clinton; former Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm, former Kentucky Secretary of State Trey Grayson, former Democratic National Committee Acting Chair Donna Brazile, and journalists William Kristol, Edward Luce, Max Boot and David Frum, as well as approximately seventy other individuals.[3][7][8] In June 2020, DNC ran a series of high-level "war gaming" exercises to explore potential election and transition scenarios. . .: Transition Integrity Project

On the morning of Election Day, false stories appear online claiming that Biden has been hospitalized with a life-threatening heart attack and the election has been delayed.

Biden's handlers control the media, so this would happen only if they thought it would help Biden win -- or if they thought it would maximize chaos and so advance their plans for total control.

Ping.

[Little Ray]

If Biden wins the rioting will stop only because the rioters will now be an arm of the government...

[Red in Blue PA]

I have plenty of guns and ammo.

When I saw the title I thought they were talking about reintroducing the European Bison into GB.

[FormerFRLurker]

I believe Trump will win, not by a landslide, but still by a comfortable margin. That said, I will accept whoever the American people choose on November 3 because we are Americans, not some tinpot banana republic.

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

Biden speech: "Does anyone believe there will be less violence in America if Donald Trump is reelected?"

WaPo: "The election will likely spark violence."

The same threat again.

non-partisan group

Yeah, right.
