Trump is trying to overturn the election results. I doubt he’ll be successful. But I don’t know it for sure.
In the coming weeks, I’ll be watching two things:
1. Certifications
2. GOP state legislators and
There are two things that are set to happen with the election results in the coming weeks that ordinarily would be formalities, but in a disputed election are crucial.
First is the states' certifications of their results. Second is the selection of electors.
Right now, both processes are clearly on track to make Biden the next president.
Trump's only hope is to upset the apple cart on one or both. Blocking or delaying certifications somehow, or getting partisan GOP state legislators in states Biden won to appoint Trump electors.
Re: certifications, Trump will get little help from officials in the key states— they're mostly Democrats or bipartisan boards, except for GA Sec of State Brad Raffensperger.
Raffensperger is being pressured from the right, but he's pushed back so far
With dim prospects for getting state officials to block certifications, Trump has been trying to get judges to do that, by filing lawsuits.
These lawsuits seem weak so far. But watch if judges start to take any of them
