[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pence does not certified the election, new pro trump state delegates from states Biden won are accepted and the Supreme Court rules in favor of trump or something similar and Trump stays in office. What would have happened next? Does everyone just go along with it? If there were protest trump would have deployed the army and friendly states’ nationals guard to restore order with mass arrest. Maybe there are no protest? How do you see it playing out? [/quote]

Those are a lot of long-shot things, not just one. Pence had a ceremonial role, he didn’t certify the election and didn’t have authority to stop it from happening. Congress would vote on any contested states, as they did, and approve the state-certified returns. There were no alternate electors certified by any state. The contested states all certified Biden. The Supreme Court can’t throw out the whole election even if they want to. They have to have legitimate cases coming up from the federal and state courts challenging specific state elections and there were none. The only way Trump could have stayed was a fascist military coup but the military leadership was never on board. [/quote]
