@Alyssa_Milano @joncoopertweets @TheDemocrats @SenSchumer @SpeakerPelosi @RepAdamSchiff @KamalaHarris Unfortunately, we need to be prepared. Trump CAN reject the election, several ways.

Threadlet:

* He can declare a national emergency (which is why I think he's allowing COVID to get out of control — it's a means to his end

* The Constitution allows electors to be picked ...

@Alyssa_Milano @joncoopertweets @TheDemocrats @SenSchumer @SpeakerPelosi @RepAdamSchiff @KamalaHarris ...via state legislatures not by direct election (citizens)

* Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution means states, not citizens, have the power to elect

* In 1824, only 18 states chose presidential electors by popular vote (6 via electors)

* Thus states can individually..

@Alyssa_Milano @joncoopertweets @TheDemocrats @SenSchumer @SpeakerPelosi @RepAdamSchiff @KamalaHarris * pass laws (COVID reasons) to give presidential electors right to chose the president (ie, themselves, not citizen-voters)

* Jared Kushner already said they wanted to delay the election nytimes.com/2020/05/12/us/…

@Alyssa_Milano @joncoopertweets @TheDemocrats @SenSchumer @SpeakerPelosi @RepAdamSchiff @KamalaHarris * Trump is doing everything to set the stage to claim voter fraud

* Charging rigged elections means a trip to #SCOTUS — which delays everything (think Bush v Gore 2000, where #Kavanaugh was on the GW legal team)

@Alyssa_Milano @joncoopertweets @TheDemocrats @SenSchumer @SpeakerPelosi @RepAdamSchiff @KamalaHarris In sum, Trump and his accolades have done everything required to delay and/or contest the election.

If you think #impeachment was bad, wait until you see another hanging chad go-around.

Trump as much said so on #ChrisWallace's show today.

Fin.

@Alyssa_Milano @joncoopertweets @TheDemocrats @SenSchumer @SpeakerPelosi @RepAdamSchiff @KamalaHarris * typo: acolytes, not accolades. 🙄 (Although sycophants is better.)

@Alyssa_Milano @joncoopertweets @TheDemocrats @SenSchumer @SpeakerPelosi @RepAdamSchiff @KamalaHarris PS:

* Make no mistake: Trump MUST leave office in Jan 2020 if he loses. And he cannot delay.

I'm clarifying how he will TRY. And what means he'll use to his end.
