THE ELECTION COULD GO TO CONGRESS.

President Trump could do something we haven’t seen in 150 years...

Trump knows he cannot win the popular vote. He knew two years ago he could not beat Joe Biden, just ask the folks in Ukraine. He was impeached for bribing a country to do a false investigation on Hunter Biden, but they refused. All year the polls show him behind Biden. He has no COVID plan. To date, over 230,000 Americans have died as a result of Trump’s lack of caring for the American people. Additionally, the economy is in a recession, the highest unemployment rate, lowest GDP, he is taking away affordable health care, and the list goes on. Record numbers, 75 million, of people have voted early or by mail-in ballots. It is expected to be the largest voter turnout in history.

None of this matters. Do you know why? Trump talks about his plan at his rallies. Trump says "We have an advantage if we go back to Congress. Does everyone understand that? I think it's 26 to 22 or something,” No one knows what he is talking about. Trump can lose the popular vote by a landslide. He knows he is going to lose. All he must do is stop a couple of states from deciding the election before December 14, 2020. That is the day the “electoral college” votes. How does he do that? He has been laying the groundwork for months. He continually cast doubt on mail-in ballots. Trump is currently involved in litigation with seven states over mail-in ballots. It does not matter if he is right or wrong with mail-in ballots. All he has to do is litigate long enough to keep a state from declaring a winner and voting on December 14, 2020, in the electoral college.

Currently, the polling shows Biden with 290 and Trump with 163 electoral votes. Once a candidate reaches 270 electoral votes, they win the election. All Trump has to do is keep Biden from reaching 270 votes. If no candidate reaches 270 votes, the election goes to the House of Representatives.

Once the election results are determined, which could take weeks, all Trump needs to do is keep two are three states from declaring a winner by December 14, 2020. If any state does not declare a winner by then, the state is not allowed to vote in the electoral college. All Trump needs to do is stop two or three states from voting in the electoral college. Keep two or three states in court litigating mail-in ballots.

Then the vote then goes to the House of Representatives. Once in the House, each state gets one vote, from their party, for a total of 50 votes. All Trump needs to remain in power is 26 votes. Currently, states are controlled by more Republicans so he would win and remain the President.

Good night, and good luck.
