I assume by the time the 18th rolls around, they will have workshopped this new narrative that Mike Pence will look at both the real elector vote and the Trump "alternative elector" vote and decide to give everything to Trump.
There's a big stretch between the 18th and January 6th so expect a lot more "secret lawsuit" talk and just loud chaos in general as Lin Wood and Sidney Powell continue to make noise.
Oh, and a lot of this:

A quick update on the "two sets of electors" angle, just in case you were nervous about it.
As people who fancy themselves social hackers have become more involved with QAnon, they've brought with them the kinds of internet antics that have worked for them in the past on chan boards, forums and other platforms on social media.
The most annoying of these is sockpuppets.
For those who might not know, sockpuppets are non-genuine accounts that are created with the purpose of deceiving others. The usual tactic is to create the impression that an idea or person has more support than they really do, a single user controlling many accounts.
They're used to steer threads, rig polls, harass dissenters, and create the appearance of consensus.
And it might seem like a waste of time to you, and I might agree, but there are folks out there for whom this is their online entertainment.
QAnon believers have accepted a simplified narrative to explain history & current events because they find it difficult to confront how complicated the world really is.
How the conservative psyche reached that point is similarly complicated.
Don't construct a QAnon for QAnon.
That's a great example. Conservatives have been fed an ever-amplifying story about the destruction of America for decades.
But would they have fallen for it if they didn't already believe in a coming apocalypse?
Yes, that too! And that one issue in *itself* has a complicated history. Education in America has been a trainwreck for decades and we all know this. How should we measure outcomes? Why continue to tie public education to property taxes?
Sometimes people ask why we call QAnon a cohesive movement when there's all this infighting.
Again, the answer is that the fighting is done between influencers. A majority of the rank-and-file followers of these movements are never actually persuaded to factionalize.
Sometimes this is frustrating to the influencers, who have made many attempts to excommunicate people from the movement, like Disclosure Backpack's takedown of E.
E continued to enjoy a following of tens of thousands.
