I have been saying this since pre-election-- the way this has been portrayed in the media as well as other coverage of politics, ect leads me to believe that they will throw out the election results.
I dont know what will happen after, but this election has been framed as "tampered" and the language and posturing in all media does seem indicative of creating a narrative that will over turn the results
- mcbutterbunz 10y agoI'm not sure how that is legally possible at this point. After the electoral college cast their vote, does the outgoing president have any sort of authority on this?
- grzm 10y agoUntil Trump takes the oath of office at the inauguration on January 20, 2017, Obama is the US President.
- slededit 10y agoThis would be a matter for each state who controls their own electors. They don't have to be elected by popular vote except by the laws of the specific states. However the aftermath of openly question the authenticity would be devastating to the country - and therefore unlikely to be attempted. The best strategy - given where we are is to build enough doubt to weaken Trump's mandate, yet not enough to throw the entire system into chaos. Though even that is an extremely risky game.
