Two weeks after Democratic candidate Joe Biden was named the winner of the presidential election, Donald Trump still refuses to admit defeat and pressures every state to overthrow the popular vote. The BBC has published an analysis of this possibility.
The strategy launched shortly before election day, related to electoral fraud, but also the one after November 3, does not seem to bear fruit. Calls made in all states lost by Donald Trump are ignored or rejected.
The incumbent president’s team has yet to see any notable successes, and allegations of massive voter fraud have not been proven, although dozens of complaints have been filed, the BBC says.
Attorney Rudy Giuliani announced Thursday that he will resign from the actions filed in Michigan, a state that Joe Biden won in the popular vote with a difference of more than 160,000 votes.
In Georgia, the Democratic candidate won a victory of more than 12,000 votes, after nearly 5 million votes were manually counted. In fact, this US state made three communications in one day regarding the result of the vote count: first it announced that Joe Biden won, then it withdrew this announcement, and after a few hours it again communicated the victory of the Democratic candidate.
The BBC also says the strategy for challenging the result is changing as Donald Trump’s team adopts “a long-term political tactic.”
But will this strategy be successful? According to the cited source, it is not impossible, but the chances are very, very small. First, Donald Trump must change the outcome in several states, where Joe Biden won the election by a difference of tens of thousands of votes or even hundreds of thousands. However, the BBC recalls that the situation of the 2000 elections, when everything depended on a single state, Florida, is not repeated.
The BBC has outlined a possible plan of action:
- blocking the vote certification process in as many states as possible, either through lawsuits or by encouraging Republican officials to object;
- encouraging officials in states controlled by the Republicans, but won to the limit by Biden, to reject the results of the popular vote as invalid or to accuse gross fraud;
- to persuade constituency voters to change the popular vote and cast their vote for Trump, instead of Biden, before December 14; This strategy is necessary in several states, such as Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, to bring Trump from 232 voters to more than 269 to win the election.
- Even nullifying some of the 306 votes could work, because then the elections could be decided in his favor in the House of Representatives, where, although controlled by Democrats, Trump could win by little-known rules.
