You can produce evidence to back up any theory but if Biden won that's because a majority of state electors determined that he won. I would think that Biden takes over and impeachment proceedings then begin if the evidence is all that clear.

First of all I picked Ross Perot I did this with the knowledge that whoever wins the American people loose.

To this latest question-Which I presume is directed to our American Trump supporters.

I will tell you how my Danish and Swedish anti-Trump friends will see it.

They will approve it and they will say things like
Every effort to get this (name) out of the White House is legitimate

My Danish and Swedish pro-Trump friends

Will of course go berserk and write long comments about the anti-American democracy. Some of them will add Bilderberg, Freemason a.s.o into the equation.

I myself will be sitting with a funny taste in my mouth wondering if there is some honest untouchable people among the American authorities who will dig into this mess and investigate it.

Ok, I'm just waiting to see how this plays out. If Biden wins a super close race and there are questions and discrepancies, I think if Trump and his cheerleaders on talk radio balk, it could be interesting. I would not be a bit surprised if a majority of Trump supporters follow right along.

Follow along? What you mean by balk? Once the Electoral College produces a result that's it. You expect Trump supporters to barricade the capitol building or something?

Or are you concerned that Trump supporters will act like the Democrats have acted since 2016 and finish tearing the nation apart?

The Electoral College tally reflects the race in each state. If the results are close, there will be a lot of accusations of cheating and fraud.

For example, in 2016 Trump carried Michigan by only 0.3 percent. If Biden narrowly wins Michigan in Nov and that's the state that clinches the 270 he needs, if Trump starts the narrative that the results are not valid, his crowd will follow along. Will they barricade the capital building? I would be be expecting it, they have practice.



Yeah, I am concerned Trump supporters will act like Democrats and it would not shock me if they did. This pandemic has shown how irresponsible they can be.
