IT IS NOVEMBER 3RD 2020, election day in America. And a mess of unprecedented gravity is brewing.
Some states, such as Colorado, have been tallying their mail-in votes from the day they arrived—but not the swing states of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. They do not allow counting to begin until election day. Trump’s reliable megaphones in the right-wing media amplify his claims. Both domestic and foreign actors—in particular, Russia—bombard social media with fake news. Small instances of harmless human error become grist for wild conspiracy theories. And Mr Trump works tirelessly to ensure the count of mail-in ballots is plagued by delays, questions and confusion, deploying teams of lawyers to challenge the vote in any way possible.
Things now take a more alarming partisan turn. Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin share the same political profile: all three are controlled by Republican legislatures faithful to Mr Trump. The lawmakers, citing concerns about counting irregularities and the prospect of missing the December 8th deadline, now decide to declare Mr Trump victorious in their states.
Chaos was avoided only by a disastrous compromise: the Republicans agreed to remove federal troops from the South, stationed there since the Civil War ended 11 years earlier. The deal opened the door to the South’s imposition of Jim Crow laws, the system of state-sanctioned racial segregation that persisted well into the 20th century. In return, Tilden, the Democrats’ candidate, agreed to concede.
Days of acrimony follow. Attempts to create a one-off special commission to resolve the impasse, similar to that of 1877, fail amid partisan bickering about its composition. Both parties appeal to the Supreme Court, but the court—in sharp contrast to its intervention in 2000 in Bush v Gore—proves unable to solve it.
Well, maybe a second American civil war might be in the offing.
Nah. If the states call their winner and send their electors to certify th results, then that’s it. On Jan 20th at noon, donnie is done. And if he won’t leave he’ll be escorted off the property by the military.
Stop putting ideas into Trumps head.
Let's be honest, whoever wins, the other side will claim it's rigged.
mrbarnard1 Why would he reject the result if he wins? I don't get it.
At that point, the western former allies could prevent a violent nightmare if they treat Trump like any other leader who corrupts the election so that it is no longer free or fair. In this election, Trump and the GOP have told us their plot - don't count votes
Let's not create this. BlueLandslide
Why is it stated if 'Trump' rejects the results? Bet to Lawrence Douglas that the Democrats, and the Left will be the ones challenging the election if Donald Trump wins re-election. They have been challenging 2016 election for almost 4 yrs. now. Crying first, then riots.
Trump will lit up the fire and set the house on fire... It won't be peaceful... He's driven by rage and envy...
Yes this is a legitimate fear.
I am even more worried that Biden will not accept the election results.
It was disputed in 2016 by the democrats and they have been having a temper tantrum ever since
The Joint Chiefs of Staff walk into the Oval Office and put a bullet through his orange head. I know not likely, but one can dream.
Just say the Dems haven't accepted 2016?
Just tell the liberals not to cry when Trump win and there won’t be no problems.
The way Trump is going he is fastly turning America to a third world country
5 stages of grief...get ready.
Let the world witness how it happens that part of the world also.
fabpaiy
I have been writing about this very thing for some time now.
Golly.
Americans should contemplate on this in sight with a view of finding a solution
Fearmonger much? bookmarked
He's not going to reject it though. So why consider it other than to push resistance porn?
Vs the Transition “Integrity” Project? Hillary saying to not concede under any circumstances? Street fight vs legal one? Yeah nice try with the projection bs. America sees what your up to.
