It's 2020. I am predicting a ####storm of monumental proportions.

There are 4 key states that are all within the margin of error where Trump can win them, if you consider disenfranchising voters, voter intimidation, and just flat our meddling in the counting process. The whole Republican philosophy is that if you can't prove our allegations wrong, then it will need to go to the courts.

If those 4 state go to Trump due to the reasons mentioned above, then he wins.

I am not sure if this is an intelligent question, but why do delegates seem to always vote unanimously for the president who won their state, no matter our close the results were. Could some of them break ranks and have a red state with delegates that actually vote for Biden, or vice versa? The only time I heard of this happening was like 200 years ago when a president (Monroe?) ran uncontested and there for won every state, but one lone delegate voted for John Quincy Adams just to make a statement.

If the state is split, then it should stand to reason the opinions of the delegates is split along similar lines.
