Can President Trump Succeed In His Efforts To Overturn The Election Outcome?

Anthony Zurcher, BBC: US election results: Can Trump overturn the outcome? 

Almost two weeks after Joe Biden was projected as the winner of the US presidential election, Donald Trump is still refusing to concede. Does he have a plan to overturn the outcome? 

The president's legal strategy to challenge the election results seems to be falling on deaf ears in courtrooms across the country. Trump's team has yet to notch a meaningful victory, or present evidence of widespread voter fraud, after filing dozens of lawsuits. 

His top lawyer, former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, said on Thursday that the campaign was dropping its legal challenges in Michigan, which Biden won by more than 160,000 votes. 

In Georgia, the state has certified its election tabulations, which give Biden just over a 12,000 vote lead after the state conducted a hand recount of nearly 5 million ballots. 

Read more .... 

WNU Editor: President Trump's legal options are becoming more and more limited. And the probability of his legal team being successful in throwing out the votes from Philadelphia, Pittsburg, and Atlanta (to name a few) are now almost zero even though (IMHO) the results from these cities are suspicious. 

So why do I believe President Trump will ultimately fail in his efforts. 

My gut tells me that the Democrats were very successful in the harvesting of mail-in ballots. They have successfully done this before and it was predicted by some Republicans before the 2020 election that it was going to be done again but on the Presidential level and in certain key swing states .... Ballot harvesting -- California's model to steal 2020 (Jason Chaffetz, FOX News). 

It looks like these warnings were right. 

Mail-in ballots in certain conditions can be very difficult to verify, and with the lack and/or absence of Republican scrutineers in places like Philadelphia to examine these ballots, a temptation for abuse. 

Did this type of abuse occur? 

All that I know is that when these mail-in ballots were counted on Thursday morning, I personally noticed and observed the following. In Pennsylvania for every Trump vote there was 12 for Biden, and in Georgia for every Trump vote there were 8 for Biden. 

Some are saying that this discrepancy is because Democrats pushed their supporters to vote by mail and Republicans pushed their supporters to vote on election day. 

However the data does not support this position. In most states the mail-in ballots count closely mirrored what people voted on election day. And in the case of New York State. Mail-in ballots actually helped Republican candidates. 

But there were 6 big exceptions to this voting pattern. And the exceptions were the states of Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. 

But because there are exceptions does not mean that there was fraud. 

And unfortunately for the Trump campaign .... because many of these ballots were not scrutinized and verified before they were counted, it is now too late. 

So what is next? 

You can count and recount these ballots, but it is not going to change anything. It will only show that in certain counties people voted in numbers that have never been seen before, and they mostly voted for Biden (81% in Philadelphia county). . 

I am sure President Trump knows that, and knows that his options are limited. I also think he figured all of this out two weeks ago.

I expect President Trump will make an announcement in the coming weeks or in the New Year that for the good of the country he will leave the White House under protest and with the firm belief that Biden won the election through mail-in ballot fraud. 

He will not attend the inauguration. 

As or me. Two weeks ago I promised that I was going to examine the statistical differences (if any) between the 2020 Presidential campaign and the 2016 campaign, and to pinpoint the counties where the vote tallies do not make any sense. 

It has been a challenge, and my focus is now on these six states .... Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. 

I am still waiting for certain results to be made public (i.e. how many votes came from mail-in ballots). When this is made public .... which I expect will be soon .... I will post my conclusions. 

I think this type of analysis is important because this was an incredibly close Presidential election. If only 25,000 votes had switched from Biden to Trump in Georgia, Arizona, and Wisconsin, President Trump would have been re-elected .... If 25,000 Votes Had Switched From Biden To Trump In Arizona, Georgia, And Wisconsin, President Trump Will Be On The Verge Of Being Re-Elected (November 10, 2020).

When you kick Republican poll watchers out and cover up the windows with card board., those precinct right there should be thrown out.

It will always be a fraudulent election.

There is no point in calling Byelo Russian elections a farce after what American just went through.

Some reports suggesting that the footage of cardboard going up on windows was to block out the abuse hurled at them by voters.

For the sake of transparency if there is really a fraud, only to use his power as a sitting president to enact everybody to do their jobs in rightful manner. If Trump cannot relay the message I don’t see him effective as a whole. The degree of fraud should not happen in presidential election if there really is a fraud.

Trump voters would welcome a fascist dictator. Traitors to the republic. There is no fraud! This is not a banana republic, where you can deny and throw out the votes of the people because you don’t like the results.

Fraud on such a massive scale that is alleged to have happened cannot go unnoticed, if it did happen.

So far, no actual evidence other than statements purporting to be 'fact' have been made.

Investigations, recounts should, and have, and are, being conducted.

The election has left America divided more than ever.

Trump had to endure hearsay and democratic funded efforts to suggest that Russian collusion had propelled him to the White House. All of that was baseless unfounded accusations that have proven to be just that.

Now the shoe is on the other foot - Joe Biden will have to endure an election that will cast a shadow over his term as president. A much bigger shadow this time round.

What I find interesting, and not surprising, is that both from hard-leaning conservatives and even the author of this blog, are now playing dangerously close to the old 'double-standards' ploy when they too are pushing hard for claims of fraud, mostly based on statistical irregularities.

I would hope that people will be able to objectively analyze the election results and look at the facts, not conjecture.

WNU said he plans to look at and analyze the election results. Judging by his comments, his political leanings and his past pre-election verdicts - will he do this with an objective view? I have my doubts.

Some people need to step back a little and stop their emotions clouding their judgement. Less they too become just like the democrats screaming for justice and calling Trump a fraud president.

I will let the data speak for itself.

No, you won’t. Just like the spill you just put out. You’ll put out an option piece. Just like Attorney General Barr did with the Mueller investigation. Not based on facts but what do you want the facts to say.

Fraud does happen anywhere.Are you excluding USA? It is now new, in some countries they do election counting manually harder to cheat and cannot be just done using fingertips.
