More Political Mayhem that Most Thursdays!
My prediction for election night:
-- The race will be very close, and by 11 PM Eastern time the results will still be unclear.
-- At that point, Donald Trump will declare himself the winner. It could be that at that point, the votes already tallied would have him winning the electoral college.
-- His lawyers will swing into action and, claiming abnormalities, try to stop the counting of votes in some places, locking existing totals into place.
-- The he will appeal to the Supreme Court to stop further counting, citing 2000's terrible decision in Bush v. Gore as a precedent.
I'm not saying it will work-- I'm just saying it could easily happen.
