In October my podcast considered a scary post-vote scenario: Trumpists manufacturing certification crises to justify illegally sending dueling elector slates to the House—knowing it votes by delegation. Read this, then listen below: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/michigan-vote-canvassing-board/2020/11/17/12141222-287c-11eb-8fa2-06e7cbb145c0_story.html?utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=wp_main&utm_source=twitter
(PS) Michigan is almost certain to certify its results. I also believe Trump is just looking for a county/state dueling-elector case—on whatever flimsy basis—he can take to SCOTUS which 5 Justices toss to Congress (where the GOP controls the delegations) for final determination.
(PS2) Please—please—don't misunderstand me. I'm *not* saying Trump's gambit will work or is legal. I'm saying it's dangerous; it's illegal; he'll pursue it; too few are taking it seriously; and as it has a non-zero chance of working with this SCOTUS, it *must* be taken seriously.
