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.
