[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Texas will be announced on Election Day.  If Biden wins Texas, it’s over for Trump.  Without Texas no Republican can win the Presidency.  As Texas turns purple you might start hearing Republicans saying they want to get rid of the electoral college because millions of Texans will vote Republican but won’t get any electors.

When they announce Texas for Biden, he wins.  In 2016, 8 millions Texans voted.  So far, 7 million Texans already voted.  Extremely high turnout - I think Biden wins Texas and he wins the election on Election Day while other states are still counting votes.[/quote]

I doubt he wins. If he wins, it will be close. If its close, there will be litigation and [b]the Supreme Court will ultimately side with the republicans[/b]. I am sorry, I want Biden but we are far from a victory.[/quote]

I wouldn't count on Gorsuch and Roberts siding with them just because. The other 4 are hopeless though, obviously. [/quote]

Roberts is notoriously bad on voting rights, so I would...[/quote]

He is, but I think you have to distinguish between voting rights cases that are about policy before an election where the impact is hypothetical and voting rights cases after an election where the impact would be determinative. Roberts is above all concerned with preserving the Constitutional system and the integrity of the Court. He won't want the Court to appear like it has its thumb on the scale for Trump, because that would damage both. That's why a decisive majority even in the national vote totals is important. Historically, the Court has never veered too far from public opinion.[/quote]

There’s a huge difference between allowing people to vote and taking all the Democrats that already voted and throwing their votes away.  The Supreme Court may be right wing now but they’re still lawyers that want to have a system of laws to judge over.  If the Supreme Court starts appointing Presidents then the Republic is done.  They won’t do this.  Now if Trump wins by a single vote, I wouldn’t put it past them to stop/prevent a recount though.[/quote]
