Hopefully most of us have been paying attention to the Presidential Election of 2020 as of 3:51 pm eastern standard time there is no clear winner. This election is coming down to mail in voting!! As I write this President Trump has no way to get to 270 electoral votes unless two of the three remaining states Joe Biden holds a lead end up with the President winning.
Somewhere around noon I was listening to the radio after nine holes of golf. The report was saying the remaining states had not counted the major urban areas, not boding well for President Trump. In the event of neither candidate reaching 270 electoral votes, the job of electing the new President goes to the Federal Electoral Commission.
Even if Biden wins the electoral college President Trump could still challenge the vote tally. In January 1877 low and behold Congress established the Federal Election Commission just for these circumstances. And low and behold, the aforementioned Commission was put to work. The contested 1876 presidential election between Republican Rutherford B. Hayes of Ohio and Democrat Samuel J. Tilden of New York was the last to require Congressional intervention. Tilden won the popular vote and the electoral count. But Republicans challenged the results in three Southern states, which submitted certificates of election for both candidates. Rutherford B. Hayes was eventually named President, everyone voted along party lines!
Here is my take. President Trump may be down but not out. There is history on his side. We also know there is rampant fraud out there, which I discussed in my last article. Prove the rampant fraud, win the election. If the election does not go his way, there is 2024, imagine that!! We all get a taste directly of President Kamala Harris here in 2020!
