Re: Trumpled (Alternative Leading)
Reply #2307 –
I think an absolute landslide win would be required by either candidate if there is to be any hope of avoiding serious civil strife .
Apparently, if Trump has a lead in swing states like Wisconsin or Pennsylvania on the evening of the election, he can 'declare' victory then and there before most of the millions of postal votes can be counted. If the electoral officials in the state are happy with the call (and amazingly enough electoral officials in the US are partisan), they can ratify the win and hand the electoral college votes to Trump.
This next few days/weeks/months could get very ugly.......
