It's true that many are so deep in denial that they will take his conviction as proof of his innocence. The scenario I'm most concerned about is GOP operatives in a few swing states cause or just claim there are issues with their states electoral college vote count and thus prevent it from being reported, keeping anyone from getting 50%, in which case it defaults to a 1 state 1 vote in the house of Representatives and Trump wins. Many are talking about this and I believe the Dems are trying to prevent it, but I'm not sure they will be able to and I don't feel enough people are aware of this strategy. I think what it needs is a good name, something clear and iconic that rolls off the tongue. The electoral college end run? The States right to lie ploy? Zero sum loss? Any other ideas out there?
