re: #281 Citizen K

They don’t need them all. Just enough that the GOP can game the rest via good old fashioned voter suppression and culture jamming.

I mean, for full clarification, my fear isn’t that he’s going to try to cancel the election. My fear is that he’s going to do his best to either rig it or undermine the integrity of it so he can pull some bullshit to call his loss into question and nullify it. And with Congress and the Courts basically standing in tandem with him (At least, enough in the Courts, including the SCOTUS, for it to matter), I’m terrified they’ll find a way to keep him in place, damn the laws.

He can’t nullify it either. Congress is not in tandem with him, unless you really believe that there are enough Dems in both houses willing to vote to keep his corpulent ass in power for however long he chooses to stay. And while we all agree that Bush v. Gore was a steaming turd on the SCOTUS legacy, I don’t believe that Roberts has the balls to stand up and basically rule to install a dictator.

As for rigging it, there are not enough Repub governors and/or legislatures to get him to 270+ votes. And the ones who are out there aren’t likely to sacrifice their careers in what might be a futile bid to save a deeply unpopular president from electoral doom.
