And on Nov. 6....
As the election approaches, I'm seeing more signs that if Trump loses, he will try to contest the election. Again.
First of all, that's a significant "if." The race seems to be a toss-up at the moment. But... yes, Trump may well win. And if he does, no one expects that the Democrats will substantially challenge the results unless something really hinky happens.
But if Trump loses, I don't doubt that he and his supporters will try to challenge the result. The landscape is very different than in 2020, though, because Trump is not the incumbent. He can run around filing suits again, but that did not work very well last time and probably won't this time, either.
More worrisome is that election officials in Trump-favoring places will aid the campaign to challenge the result. Across the country, MAGA enthusiasts have gained positions of power over the apparatus of the election, yes. But how would they then subvert the election-- by declaring the process they controlled to be compromised?
Well, yeah, I suppose they could do that, but it would be a pretty tricky game...

The good news is that the current President stays in power until January 20 and can manage events in DC. Also, most of the swing states (Michigan, Arizona, Pennsylvania, NC) have Democratic governors in charge of their National Guards. And although Gov. Kemp in Georgia is a Republican, he is not MAGA.
