re: #52 KGxvi

He’s going to need a majority of House delegations, so he has to get to 26. Under the current configuration, we’d have a hung House. But there are plenty of places where Democrats could try to pick up a couple of seats in the House that would shift the balance to where the Democrats control 26 delegations. If that’s the case, then he’s out of luck. And that’s assuming the House even decides to reject some electoral votes to get the winner under 270 votes. I just don’t see how that happens, not given Trump’s numbers as it stands today, anyway.

This is in serious banana republic territory, but it’s not exactly terra incognita in other parts of the world. Even Kim Jong Fucking Un needs to “win” elections to keep a veneer of legitimacy, and this sort of shit is an obvious coup. At this point, you start counting noses in the military and security apparatus, and it’s more the members of the general officer corps that count than whichever crony is defense minister. Also, you might want to take a look at the militias of the bigger states as well.

So, at this point, if you’re going to transparently steal an election, it’s a good idea not to have pissed off the military, intelligence apparatus, and federal police. Trump hasn’t really done well here.
