    SCOTUS can’t overrule an election outcome unless there is contention and proof. Won’t happen. Her numbers are too good, and that’s taking into account that polls only reach old people.

      They can do whatever the fuck a majority of them wants. That’s why Mitch McConnell considered stacking the courts much more important to his legacy than electoral success.

      The way the broken system works, they have the final say on ANYTHING and can only be overruled by the by now impossible constitutional amendment process.

      No matter how nonsensical or blatantly corrupt their reasoning, their judgment is effectively final.

      Bush v. Gore. Contention, no proof. Since when has this SCOTUS ever shied from doing something it “can’t”? Roe v. Wade. Presidents are kings.

      Sorry bud, it’s not looking good, and believe you me will I be voting. But it’s not even a question that they’re trying coup 2.0.

          It is exactly the same thing. Jeb Bush and W. Bush’s campaign manager rigged the vote in Florida, same as Trump loyalists will do this cycle.

          Uh-huh. Ignore everything else that’s happened just this year, then. Ignore all the obvious preparations they’ve been making, how they’ve stacked the courts. It’s gonna work out great.
