The result of the early November election gave Biden 306 voters, well above the magic limit of 270 voters required to win the US presidential election. Despite receiving 7 million more votes than Trump, both the incumbent president and several members of the Republican Party have refused to concede defeat.
Since November 3, Trump and his party colleagues have been suing state after state, in an intense battle to declare the election invalid: At the president’s request, votes have been counted three times in Georgia, and each time Biden has won. the majority of votes. Trump has contacted Republicans in Michigan and Pennsylvania, hoping to change the outcome of the election, without success. In addition, he has filed a lawsuit against Wisconsin, where Biden won by almost 20,7000 votes, to disqualify the result.
On Monday, the Electoral College will meet to officially confirm Joe Biden as the winner of the presidential election and will force Trump to realize, if not acknowledge, defeat. And on the list of voters this year, who will decide everything, we find the former archrival and former president of Trump, Hillary and Bill Clinton.
As is well known, Clinton lost the election to Trump in 2016, but must now be among the 306 Biden voters who officially declare Trump a loser.
Hillary and Bill Clinton represent New York, which meets at 6 p.m. Norway time.
Mass lawsuit dismissed
Risks fines
Election delegates should in principle vote for the candidate who received the most support in the state they represent, and in several states, according to NTB, fines are common if they don’t.
In theory, state authorities can review the election result and appoint voters themselves. However, several Republican-led states have made it clear that this is completely out of the question, even though pressure from Trump and his supporters has been high.
If one or more states do this anyway and secure Trump four more years in power, he will most likely end up on the Supreme Court table.
Texas’s sensational attempt
The most sensational attempt to have the election result declared invalid was that of Texas on December 8. Later, Republican and Texas State Attorney Ken Paxton, on behalf of the state, filed a lawsuit in the United States Supreme Court. Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin were again claimed to have engaged in widespread voter fraud in this year’s presidential election, and again without any concrete evidence being presented for the allegations.
The goal was to overthrow the election result and allow state leaders to elect voters themselves and thus have the opportunity to change the result to keep Trump in the White House.
All four tip states responded to the lawsuit, describing it as “an example of rebellious abuse of the justice system” (Pennsylvania), “a lawsuit without evidence” (Michigan), “extraordinary intervention” (Wisconsin) and “a lawsuit that it should be rejected ”(Georgia).
American Expert on Texas Lawsuit: – Clown Hit Attempt
When asked by Dagbladet about the American expert and adviser in the Citiva think tank, Eirik Løkke, he thought the claim would be upheld by the constitution, he replied:
– It would be bad enough if the Supreme Court took the lawsuit to a hearing. Trump’s fight to change the election outcome has been a mix of absurd theories and public relations stunts. It undermines democratic norms and rules, and the worst thing is that so many members of the Republican Party sit still on the boat and participate in part. There is a coup.
On Saturday, the Supreme Court rejected the lawsuit, arguing that it is not in Texas’ mandate to question or intervene in the way other states conduct their elections.
Dagbladet follows the electoral assembly and updates the case continuously.
