Trump spewing absolute garbage on Twitter the past couple hours.
Fake ballots here! Fraud there! Glorious wins for me!
People his age in care centers and mental institutions are more in touch with reality.

what's hilarious in all of this is that Ted Cruz is backing Trump despite the fact that Trump also cried fraud back during the 2016 primaries when Cruz ran against him. Spineless weasel.

I am really unclear what role the federal supreme court can actually play here.
From my understanding, the U.S. federal election is actually 50 separate state elections (plus the District of Colombia). Can the federal supreme court actually override state supreme courts?
When Gore lost Florida, it was the state supreme court that nixed the recount. There was some talk at the time that he could take it to a higher level, but he didn't because the process would be too damaging and had a low chance of success anyway.

Yeah, if there's one thing that was really clear in the supreme court findings last month, it's that the federal court system does not have authority to overrule the will of the state when it comes to the running of elections, and that was the decision authored by the conservative majority.
I think the only plausible way this gets overturned is if multiple republican state houses decide that they're going to overrule their own state's results and appoint their own electors, in which case the supreme court might say that this is the state's will and they can't get involved. If it was one close result in Pennsylvania, I could maybe see that, but not multiple states all doing it despite being outside recount territory.

It's amazing that McEnany can actually stand up there and spout that bulls*** with a straight face. Guess she's perfectly fine going down with the ship.

I watched her for a few years on CNN and when she and Jason Miller spouts off their bs you just want to punch your effing TV to bits.

The problem is she won't go down with the ship as she'll have plenty of TV opportunities regardless.

Yes it can, if it's for Constitutional issues. The Supremacy Clause itself comes from Article III of the Constitution. Three amendments directly involve voting rights. The Supreme Court has ruled on these issues before (many times). Plus, there are many federal laws that describe voting accessibility.
I think the real question is to what extend can the process be expedited.
