If Trump loses and refuses to leave

That's some source. There is no mandatory recount at 0.5% in all of those states. Completely inaccurate. 

 

AZ only does a mandatory recount at less than 0.1%. Right now it's at 0.4%

 

PA does a recount at 0.5%. It's at 0.7%.

 

NV is at 2.7%, don't know its laws because...who cares, it's not even close enough to be in any conversation. 

 

MI is at 2.5%, don't know its laws because...who cares, it's not even close enough to be in any conversation. 

 

GA will do a recount. WI will seemingly also do a recount if Trump requests and donors (suckers) pay for it. 

 

 

Still waiting to see the evidence of hundreds of thousands of fraudulent votes from 2020. I expect to wait about as long as I've been waiting to see the millions of votes he said were fraudulently cast for Hillary. 

As you said a couple states have recounts. Historically, recounts have not changed projected winners. 
 

According to the Associated Press, there have been 31 recounts in statewide elections since 2000, and only three of them have changed the outcome of an election. 

 

Georgia: Under state law, a candidate can request a recount up to two days after the results have been certified if the margin of victory is less than .5%of the total tally (Biden leads Trump by .15% and the race has yet to be called.) 

 

Wisconsin: A candidate can request a recount if the margin of victory is within 1% and the Trump campaign has vowed to request one already (Biden was projected winner of the state but leads by about .6%).

 

Arizona: A recount is automatically triggered if the margin of victory is less than or equal to .1% of the final outcome, but a candidate cannot request one otherwise (Biden leads Trump by about .6% and the AP has called the race for the Democrat, but the margin has narrowed). 

Pennsylvania: The state’s secretary of state must order a recount if the margin between the two candidates is within .5% of the total tally, but a recount can also be initiated in individual districts if at least three voters request one (Biden leads by greater than .5% in the state and the AP has called the race for the Democrat).

He doesn't even realize he still needs to try and run this country while he is still in office.

 

This is more proof he never cared about this country he only cared about if people followed him. All Trump ever wanted was sheep followers, problem is it came with running the country.

 

He's a sociopath.  He cares for nobody or nothing except what he wants.  

 

There have been a couple of news reports claiming that anonymous sources within the WH have said that the reason that Senate Republicans have not acknowledged Biden as the President-elect is that Trump has threatened to withhold his support in the January 5  Georgia Senate race if they don't close ranks with him.   That this scenario is even plausible speaks volumes about the soon-to-be ex-POTUS.

  Your statement is nothing but bald faced hysteria.

I think Trump is in denial, and so are his supporters. Time is on our side. They need a little time to accept reality. We will get there. 

  I think that you are in denial as to a candidate being able to challenge the results.  What's a little time?  It's been 4 years now since 2016 and YOU have still not accepted the results of the 2016 Election.

You have to have some kind of evidence to challenge in court.  Where is it and why is that such a difficult concept to grasp?

  Where is it?  It's in the hands of lawyers.  There is no law saying that you have a ringside seat to all this.  Why is it difficult to grasp?  That most likely is a problem that resides with you.

Ok Rob...let's say you are right and his push is all legal issues.

What IF you are wrong and he is pushing to maintain power past Jan 20. What do you think if trump holds rallies outside of Georgia.

Will you continue to support him?

It doesn't matter - He will continue to hate you and I. That's Rob's truth.

  That is nearly 70 days away.  I am sure the courts recognize the need to be expedient or will lay out for all to see the need to go past the 20th.

Then why have the lawyers not shown it?  Why have any challenges thus far been thrown out of court?  Thta is not as you put it an elementary school concept, it is the reality o the situation and folks like you refuse to come to terms with it.

 

Every Secretary of State in charge of elections has validated their state's vote count as far as I can see.  Historically the evidence of voter fraud tells us that, if present, it is extremely, extremely small.  The lead Biden has is higher than the state's cutoffs for recounts, with the exception of Georgia (which will recount) and Wisconsin which allows a candidate to demand one.

 

Why is this a problem?  Several reasons.  It prohibits the peaceful transition of power which is a staple of our democracy and makes us different than other countries.  It is slowing down the transition making it harder for the new administration to hit the ground running on January 20th.  And it places an even bigger divide between people in this country, which is the last thing we need.

Unlike the last four years where Trump and the GOP threw crap at the wall and let the court of public opinion decide issues, Trump actually needs proof to be successful in his current lawsuits, which he has none of so far. 

 

All of their lawsuits are being tossed because they have no proof. Trump is going to leave Washington by Thanksgiving and probably never return. The US Government will function as a rudderless ship until Jan 20.

Is there a lawsuit anywhere with tens of thousands of votes being requested to be overturned and change the result of the election yet? 

 

Waiting...

I'm starting to believe that Trump is acting like this because the campaign is in debt....The GOP is frantically sending emails to all it's members to fund his " legal battles " but the fine print clearly states that a good portion of the donations will go towards the campaign debt.....anyone with half a brain realizes that there's no way that the amount of ballots that could have been miscounted is enough to reverse the result of the election..but Donnie doesn't need another debt....can a campaign file for bankruptcy ?

A few thoughts.

 

1. Trump is definitely siphoning money from contributions into his pocket.

2. Trump wants to keep his base fired up. 

3. Trump will run again in 4 years, and easily become the GOP nominee.

4. Trump wants to put Biden in the worst possible position to govern, putting them in a huge hole as they begin their administration by not allowing the transition of power.

5. Trump hopes to kneecap Biden's administration, trying to increase his odds of voters and especially independents wanting him back in 4 years. 

 

It's all about Donnie. Everything he will do over the next 10 weeks will be fully designed to help his re-election chances in 4 years. He'll sacrifice the American people and the economy now if it helps him in 4 years.

That is absolute best case scenario, which I dont think we'll see.

 

The recent changes in leadership in Defense and Intelligence paint a much scarier and dire picture of how far he'll be willing to go to stay in office. He is prepping to use the US military against our own citizens.
