@d9monti @shannonrwatts I think #Democrats are misunderstanding (and underestimating) the #GOP/#Trump play here.

They are *NOT* trying to win these frivolous lawsuits!

What they *ARE* trying to do is:

1. Delay #vote certifications; and/or,
2. Keep multiple lawsuits alive in various #states.

@d9monti @shannonrwatts Thus allowing #GOP controlled legislatures to declare that b/c the #election results are disputed (see: lawsuits) they have no option but to "reluctantly" exercise their #Constitutional duty under Article II Section 1 Clauses 2 thereof & appoint their own #electors!

#Coup

/2

@d9monti @shannonrwatts State legislatures #GOP controls:

1. #Arizona (11 Electoral Votes)
2. #Georgia (16 Electoral Votes)
3. #Wisconsin (10 Electoral Votes)
4. #Michigan (16 Electoral Votes)
5. #Pennsylvania (20 Electoral Votes)

= 73 Electoral Votes #GOP legislatures will try to flip to #Trump.

@d9monti @shannonrwatts Alternatively, even if #GOP can't flip enough #ElectoralVotes to #Trump, as long as they prevent 270 electoral votes from being certified for #Biden by the December 14th #ElectoralCollege deadline the #Constitution then gives the #House the power to #elect the #president.

/4

@d9monti @shannonrwatts In that scenario, #House #votes for #president (Article 2, Section 1, Clause 3 of the #Constitution) are cast per #state delegation (each state gets 1 #vote).

Since the #GOP has the #Congressional majority in more #states the House would #elect #Trump as #POTUS.

#Coup
