The problem with threads like this is is that they focus too much on Trump.
According to that title and section of federal law, the guy who officially announces the election result is Mike Pence:
[quote] . . . the President of the Senate, who shall thereupon announce the of the vote, which announcement shall be deemed a sufficient declaration of the persons, if any, elected President and Vice President of the United[ States, and, together with a list of the votes, be entered on the Journals of the two Houses.[quote]
If Pence says, at that January 6 joint session of Congress, that Biden won, that is the end. At that minute, Donald’s practical ability to stay in the While House after January 20 is gone. If Pence says he and Donald lost, the Secret Service will follow that.
Now, if Pence says that his ticket won, while mainstream tellers and news media says otherwise, we are in a real constitutional crisis. That’s what’s important.
Trump talks like a dictator. But he can’t become one without the help of his veep.
