1. Initial results known by Wednesday AM

4. GOP will have brought suits in close-call states and possibly other jurisdictions where they have campaign counsel teed up
5. By the statutory deadlines, the SecState offices will certify their electors, EXCEPT in a few states in which Trump has suits still in progress
6. Ultimately the EC will convene being composed of a mix of actual electors and, from some disputed states, electors chosen by local law that enables the Republican state officials to pick the electors
7. Trump will "win" in the EC no matter what the actual popular vote OR the electoral selection is

If local officials violate judges’ orders to halt counting while coming to a decision, the GOP will appeal to have those counted votes tossed out permanently.

GOP needs to file enough lawsuits to get things jammed up until December 14. The counting of mail-in votes will start and shutdown multiple times while the courts take time to weigh in. GOP will appeal every state decision, all the way to the SC.

I am from Italy, a much less than well organized country with a population that is a 5th of the USA. there is no absentee voting, no weeks of early voting and no electronic machines of any kind. people vote normally on a Sunday, sometimes Sunday and the following Monday.

I was never in line for more than 20-30 minutes in the 25 years i voted there. the ballots are all paper ballots that are put in a box by the voter. when the polls close, the boxes are opened and the paper ballots are counted and the vote registered one by one, manually. normally the polls close around 9pm and results are in by the following morning. how the heck we can do something like that and the USA can't? how come the USA cannot have enough voting places so people are not in line for 5-6 hours? how come the USA cannot have enough people to count the paper votes?

1) we vote on a tuesday because voter suppression
2) we don't have enough drop boxes because voter suppression
3) we don't have enough polling places in heavily urban areas because voter suppression
4) we use electronic voting because the machines are hackable and thus votes changeable with no paper record. (And no digital trail, thanks to Diebold.)

Does that answer your question?

And it takes that long?
