The examples I am seeing are of all the absentee ballots being thrown out, not all the votes in a polling place. But this could be just as bad for Democrats, since, if given a choice, Democrats disproportionately vote by mail.
All my stories may be ones where the legitimate winner eventually took office. That because I’m picking from U.S. history, and the U.S. had long been a representative democracy.
The cases you cite had irrefutable evidence that the outcome of the election was changed by large-scale fraud.
I’m gonna go out on a limb and say Democrats aren’t going to rig the election, and judges are not going to accept “trust me bro” from Republican lawyers as an argument for invalidating results.
“A, B, and C happened, therefore Σ will happen, even though it didn’t happen before under identical circumstances” is not a compelling argument.
Trump has already tried to have election results thrown out on baseless allegations of fraud. Every single judge who heard those cases - INCLUDING the ones he appointed himself - ruled against him.
There is no reason to believe he would be any more successful this time.
Furthermore, you’re confusing “things the president is not supposed to do” with “things that are not within the president’s ability to do”. Changing the results of an election isn’t putting your name on a building, it’s writing your name on the Moon in giant letters that everyone can read in the night sky.
He can’t deploy them in the USA, but he can nationalize them and send them to protect the border in Korea.
Eisenhower sent US troops to integrate Central High. Governor Faubus called out the National Guard to keep US troops out. Eisenhower nationalized them.
“Nobody fathomed that A, B, C, D and E would ever happen but they DID happen. Therefore, saying F, G, H, I, J, and K will never happen isn’t all that comforting” is the actual argument here.
Of course it does. My examples all fall under the umbrella of things that were outside of the President’s authority, yet he didn’t care at all and did them anyway. Imagining that he won’t be able to do all of those other things because they aren’t under his authority is wishful thinking, at best.
OK, so Trump just needs to get Democratic governors to illegally deploy the National Guard to prevent federal forces operating under the Posse Comitatus Act from enforcing a unanimous Supreme Court decision in his favor.
Yes, and his abilities seem to be far surpassing his authority. These semantic games are tiring, but I guess they help to avoid actually addressing the points made.
Please. Trump is weaker now than he’s been at any point in the last 11 years. His approval rating is barely above a third. He’s underwater on every single policy issue. The Supreme Court’s deference to him is breaking. Republicans are openly criticizing him, predicting electoral bloodbath, and quitting Congress en masse. He’s increasingly unaware of what’s going on around him and what he’s doing. His body and mind are failing him. He is not the Trump of 2015 or 2020. He’s not even the Trump of 2024. He’s not in ANY position to make an autocrat of himself.
This thread has gone so far afield of its stated topic that I’m not even sure what point you’re trying to make. What is it you think Trump is going to do, exactly? Convince the Supreme Court to nullify electoral results? Have the Post Office shred every envelope that says “official election mail”? Send hundreds of thousands of armed goons to tens of thousands of voting precincts while judges threaten everyone in the chain of command with jail time? Sic the Army on the general population? Nuke Congress?
Because I don’t see a scenario where anything Trump can try to do is going to prevent the blue wave that’s coming.
