Incidentally, if you want Trump to prevail it's actually better that the Democrats resist recounts and remedial measures long enough for it not being possible to complete them before December 14th. At that point, the SCOTUS will allow the Republican state legislature to nominate its own electors.
If they instead switch and back recounts they might just eke out a win. Though to be honest I'd be kind of OK with that. At some point you'd have to admit that the GOP has gone through the courts, got recounts and remedial measures, and still lost.
And then there are the mail-in ballots. I've
pointed out before that mail-ins are an issue if there is proper scrutiny because 20-30% will be rejected. What I expected was that the election would proceed more or less normally, Biden would come out ahead and then lose it after recounts and rejected mail-in ballots and there'd be chaos. However, by illegally obstructing proper scrutiny the Democrats may well have ended up in a situation where the SCOTUS rules that they all get ruled invalid.
I've heard it claimed by Giuliani that with a mail-in ballot there is the presumption that it is not valid. If both sides observers see it opened, the chain of custody is good and it is filled in correctly it is valid. If the SCOTUS agrees and the Republicans can prove observers were not allowed they can make the case for binning all the ballots. That's a loss for Biden in PA according to Giuliani in PA.
I'm sort of light gray pilled, to be honest. I'm not convinced Trump will survive this but I'm also not convinced that if Biden is elected it will be via blatant fraud. Rather he'd eke out a win after the fraud is detected, remedial measures are ordered, recounts happen and the state legislatures end up certifying the result as real. So we're not headed for a single party dystopia but one where everyone knows that the Democrats tried to cheat and just managed to win anyway. I also think that a lack of scrutiny will cause the SCOTUS to bin much more than 20-30% of mail-in ballots, and that can't be a good thing for the Democrats who dominate those ballots while Republicans prefered to vote on the day or use Early In Person voting.
And then there's the question as to whether mail-ins received after the election day are valid. The PA supreme court says yes, the PA legislature has said no and the SCOTUS has yet to rule but is primed to agree with the legislature. Even if the SCOTUS allows mail-ins received before the deadline are OK it seems like it is unlikely to rule those received after it are.
