The “secret” almost certainly involves a plan to install Trump in the White House if he loses the election—but this plan could be even worse than you think.

A potential plan by Republican leaders to steal the 2024 presidential election. The plan involves delaying the certification of election results in key battleground states, potentially decreasing the overall number of electors appointed and allowing Donald Trump to win the presidency through a contingent election, whereby the House of Representatives, not the Electoral College, determines the president.

    Wasn’t this also settled in Bush v Gore?

    The states must submit electors by the certification date. That’s why the 2000 recount had to be stopped.

      That was an unsigned non-binding opinion. And the current court will jump on it in a heartbeat.

      I doubt the current supreme court will do anything even though in 2000 that decision helped the republican. They’ll find a reason to flip.
