Dec. 8 'safe harbor' deadline is a critical date in nightmare election scenarios
Dec. 14 - Monday after the second Wednesday in December,” is when the electoral college meets to cast ballots for program.
Trump’s Endless Lawsuits Could Theoretically Help Win Him Election If This Turns into a Bush v. Gore Situation
As states continue to tally election results, and the president’s campaign team continues to file more lawsuits, Americans are wondering what effect litigation might have on the outcome of the presidential election. The reality is that an endless loop of lawsuits theoretically has potential to help Donald Trump secure reelection.
There’s a federal statute that means December 8 will function as what’s known as the “safe harbor” deadline. Occurring about a month after Election Day, December 8th is the deadline for final resolution of all election disputes, including court challenges. It is the final date on which slates of electors must be chosen by states for submission to Congress.
If things aren’t settled by then, Congress is under no obligation to accept the validity of electoral votes submitted by states. Instead, the newly-elected Congress will gain legal authority to determine the winner in any state that has not resolved its election drama by the deadline.
Delayed election results could lead to a constitutional crisis that involves the Electoral Count Act of 1887 and differing vote certifications.
The law sets two deadlines for states, One date, “the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December,” is when the electoral college meets to cast ballots for program. This year, the date is Dec. 14.
The other date, which is six days before the electoral college date, is the “safe harbor” deadline for states to choose electors that they can ensure will be accepted by Congress. That date is Dec. 8 this year.
What if the votes are not counted by Dec. 8 because of delays from mail-in ballots, vote-counting disputes and recounts?
And what if states, swayed by claims of vote fraud, decide to appoint electors that appear to contravene the vote count? Those are among the scenarios !
what if President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden are ready to assume the presidency Jan. 20?
That is the date that the Constitution sets for the new term to begin.
U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., has proposed pushing back the safe harbor date in legislation introduced last month. But Congress has not acted on the bill, and some states put the safe harbor provision into their own laws!
According to unnamed sources who spoke with the Atlantic, the Trump campaign is discussing plans to bypass election results and appoint loyal electors in battleground states.
With a justification based on claims of rampant fraud, Trump would ask state legislators to set aside the popular vote and exercise their power to choose a slate of electors directly,” according to the Atlantic.
“The longer Trump succeeds in keeping the vote count in doubt, the more pressure legislators will feel to act before the safe harbor deadline expires.”
Republicans control both chambers of the legislature in the top six battleground states—Arizona, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
In Arizona and Florida, the governors are also Republican. In the other four states, the governors are Democrats.
If a GOP-controlled legislature was to appoint electors for Trump, but the Democratic governor refuses to certify them, which decision would control?
“No one knows” the answer for sure, according to the New Yorker.
The articles spin through other scenarios in which a state fails to submit a winner by Dec. 14, the House and Senate disagree on a challenge to state votes, Vice President Mike Pence decides which state electors are counted, and no candidate wins a majority of electoral votes after a state’s votes are discarded.
Rebecca Green, a professor at the William & Mary Law School, told CNN that the Electoral Count Act “is tremendously complex and leaves a lot of gaps.”
It could be up to the courts to sort it all out, she said.
Richard Hasen, a professor at the University of California at Irvine School of Law, sees the possibility of “a protracted postelection struggle in the courts and the streets if the results are close.”
“The kind of election meltdown we could see would be much worse than 2000’s Bush v. Gore case,” he told the Atlantic.
If any State shall have provided, by laws enacted prior to the day fixed for the appointment of the electors, for its final determination of any controversy or contest concerning the appointment of all or any of the electors of such State, by judicial or other methods or procedures, and such determination shall have been made at least six days before the time fixed for the meeting of the electors, such determination made pursuant to such law so existing on said day, and made at least six days prior to said time of meeting of the electors, shall be conclusive, and shall govern in the counting of the electoral votes as provided in the Constitution, and as hereinafter regulated, so far as the ascertainment of the electors appointed by such State is concerned.

Lawsuit: At Least 21K Dead People on Pennsylvania Voter Rolls
AT LEAST 21K Dead People on Pennsylvania Voter Rolls
“9,212 registrants have been dead for at least five years, at least 1,990 registrants have been dead for at least ten years, and at least 197 registrants have been dead for at least twenty years,"
Lawsuit: At Least 21K Dead People on Pennsylvania Voter Rolls
There are at least 21,000 dead people on the state of Pennsylvania’s voter rolls, according to an amended lawsuit filed on Thursday.
A lawsuit filed by the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) alleges that there are at least 21,000 dead people on Pennsylvania’s voter rolls. The lawsuit claims that Pennsylvania failed to “reasonably maintain” their voter registration records under federal and state law in time for the 2020 presidential election.
“As of October 7, 2020, at least 9,212 registrants have been dead for at least five years, at least 1,990 registrants have been dead for at least ten years, and at least 197 registrants have been dead for at least twenty years,” the lawsuit states.
“Pennsylvania still left the names of more than 21,000 dead individuals on the voter rolls less than a month before one of the most consequential general elections for federal officeholders in many years,” the lawsuit continues.
According to the lawsuit, about 92 percent of the 21,000 dead people on Pennsylvania’s voter rolls died sometime before October 2019. About 216 dead people show voting credits after federally listed dates of death in 2016 and 2018, the lawsuit alleges.

Pennsylvania is one of the key battleground states in the 2020 presidential elections, and with legal changes that were made to accept late #ballots, and with legal challenges from the Trump election team, which way the state will lean is still uncertain.
To get a better sense of what's taking place on the ground, we've invited to speak with us Dr. Paul Kengor, a bestselling author, a professor of political science at Grove City College, and the executive director of The Center for Vision & Values at Grove City College.

President Trump was leading in PA with 700k votes....the fraud in Philadelphia has given Biden a 19K lead. Do you really believe in a recount and court battles in that state will not discover massive fraud? There are 21K deceased people on the rolls alone. And they ain't voting Republican. Get ready.
