mclumber1 Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Bush v Gore had timeline ramifications too. The state effectively couldn't do another set of recounts and certify the vote afterwards, because the meeting of the electors was just a few days later from what I remember. Without a certified vote, there are no electors at all for Florida. This would have been in Gore's favor though. Gore would have won the EC 266 to 246., as the new threshold would be 257.

I don’t know what the implication was beyond the fact that I am white so he (rightfully) assumed I had mayo on hand. They'll put mayo on anything. Fries, hotdogs, whatever. Though, I will admit, a completo hotdog with mayo and everything else is pretty damn tasty. I mean, that's not Argentinian, but whatever.

I’m concerned about the repercussions and fall out on this country from the legal battle Trump seems to be initiating. The thought of this being some “stolen election” is already happening, a court battle could enable civil unrest from his supporters. I’m not saying “civil war”, but I am concerned about violence and what this could mean for the future. Hopefully the end winds up being actual laws and not just “norms”. at this point lets face it....if its all said and done and biden wins literally nothing will happen for at least two years since gop still has senate. i dont know about anybody else but ill take a break for two years after these last 4 that felt like 50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, but it going to courts, led by a Trump team, potentially exacerbates it.

Or are you just making a generalized point about not liking the outcome of that case? It's not about liking the outcome of the case--which by the way was so bad you could get scalia to squirm if one were to ask him about it when he was alive. It's that scotus will, when push comes to shove and the stakes are there, make a space to decide things even where it has generally no business to be deciding, and using flimsy bullshit legal reasoning (e.g. bush would suffer irreparable harm if recounts were to continue) for nakedly partisan ends. You can't say that they will or won't do x because y, simply because they have shown they could conceivably do x and that has nothing to do with y because they've previously done z.

Fizzzzle Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Georgia's special election is going to a runoff. Assuming the Senate results in Michigan hold, we could end up with a 50/50 Senate.

Chris- Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 The Trump campaign literally has no argument to make in front of SCOTUS. Bush vs Gore was decided on the basis that different recount processes within the state violated due process; whether the ruling was right or wrong, it was procedural in nature and rooted in what would 'harm' the voters. There's no similar argument to make here...Once you mail your ballot, you have officially cast it - you cannot change your mind. A vote postmarked on November 3rd is the exact same as an in person vote on November 3rd, and voters are not harmed by how long it takes to count the vote they cast (it's not like every in person vote is counted on Election Day, either). Bush vs Gore was a matter of exploiting judicial philosophy, this would be a matter of creating something out of absolutely nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
