Trump floats delaying election despite lack of authority to do so

John K Clark

Trump knows that he doesn't have the authority to do this, so his real plan must be something different. I suspect that what he really aims at is for Republican governors to decide that a popular vote cannot be held due to the pandemic and because in their opinion mail-in vote is unreliable, that the legislature will instead vote on who wins the State. Many states where Biden is way ahead have a Republican governor and a Republican Legislature, as well as courts dominated by conservative judges.

Conservative judges tend to set the bar very high for overturning a decision that was arrived at using constitutionally correct procedures. In the end the SCOTUS may end up upholding an election result based on Republican Legislatures having voted for Trump when the population at large supported Biden.
