Trump would only need pennsylvania, georgia, and Arizona to hit 270. As for if the DoJ can change the outcome, no. They can go after the fraud and criminally charge those who did it, but that in and of its self will have zero effect on the results. Due to the secret ballot once fraud votes are added into the count, they can not be removed. The supreme court at the state or federal level can nullify the vote, order a recount, order a revote, or kick it to the house of representatives for them to vote en block for who wins, which means one representative from each state votes, which means Trump would almost certanly win.Non-US citizen dropping in here to derail the interesting left/right conversation,
I've been checking the news, saying that DJT has been filing lawsuits, and/or asking for recounts in certain key-states due to claims of voter fraud. Unfortunately, a lot of US media outlets are blocked where I live so I can't find many details. I don't know how much I'd be willing to believe them anyway.
Can anyone break down how this works exactly and, objectively speaking (regardless of who you'd want to win), what are DJT's odds of changing the outcome of this election? You don't have to info dump everything, not asking for someone to be my butler, but a general idea, a useful link or even a referral to a post in this long thread would be appreciated.
I clearly am speaking from a place of limited knowledge, but, even if the voting outcome in 2-3 states was reversed, Biden would still meet the 270 electorate minimum in most cases, no? Trump would have to take MI, WI, GA, PA, NV and AZ to really turn the tables. Just seems like a long shot or an attempt to delay the process. Then again, I don't know?
The big thing to watch for is the supreme court ruling on whether ballots recieved after 8pm on november 3rd or counted after midnight are legal. If they interpret the constitution literally and as the supreme court of montana has, all votes recieved or counted past november 3rd will be nullified, which will either make Trump the electoral victor or make it so neither hit 270, which will again lead to HoR.
