re: #9 Barefoot Grin

Transitions are when we are most vulnerable. A crisis during a transition would have long-term implications. I’m not suggesting that there would be a coup attempt in Montenegro, or….

No doubt that it’s partially why Hillary’s campaign team declined to initiate the recount process. They probably wanted to maintain the peaceful transfer of power (as much as can be expected with this dumpster fire).

This could go several ways in my mind. Maybe I’m overthinking it but who knows now…

1) Nothing changes.

2) Trump prevails in all three states, but his win margin is whittled away to the MOE.

3) Trump loses one or two out of the three states, but still maintains an EV advantage (faithless electors notwithstanding), undermining him and the administration. He becomes even more dangerously unpredictable.

4) Trump loses all three states, albeit narrowly. Hillary is named the new winner… or is deadlocked at 270 EVs (due to faithless electors) thus turning the election to the lame-duck GOP House. Even if Trump wins, he’s severely weakened and even MORE dangerously unpredictable.
