The first ‘official’ steps to not accepting a Harris win are underway on 02:33 - Oct 8 with 2793 views | ArnoldMoorhen | As people note in the comments below, if the Election isn't certified then Biden remains President. And, I will add, should he be incapacitated, then Vice President Harris would become President by that route. |  | |  |

The Economist currently predicts a Harris win but by the slimmest of majorities, just 273-265 in the electoral college. The US really does have the crappiest system possible. The candidate with the most votes from the electorate doesn’t always win. |  |

agreed, harris is almost certain to win the national vote, but the chances of becoming president is near 50/50... |  |

Yep. The entire election could be won on the outcome of about 60,000 votes in 3 states. Which is ludicrous in a country where votes will be something like 157million cast and Harris will win that by probably 5 million minimum. |  | |  |

And it's the same as last time. Doing it in plain sight and no-one can do anything to stop them it appears. The tactic appears to almost say 'sod the election' and try and win it in the courts which will be a huge test of the US court system given how the courts are filled with Trump favouring justices in key states. And that's before you even get to his hand-picked Supreme Court. You can see it now. Clarence Thomas's last act as a Supreme Court justice before retiring is to turn over the election... |  | |  |

our system isn't great (would far prefer pr), but when was the last time that the party with the most votes didn't lead the government? |  |

I think it was the 1951 election. I agree our system isn't quite as bad, but as with the US the number of essentially meaningless votes is also a problem here. |  | |  |

"there is abundant evidence that non-citizens have been and are being registered to vote in the national election of 2024" Now that wasn't a line that I think was taken when challenging the result in 2020, so this is a rather alarming development. |  | |  |

If you have 90 minutes, it's definitely worth watching the Channel 4 documentary on the 2020 election. It was on a couple of weeks ago https://www.channel4.com/programmes/trumps-heist-president-who-wouldnt-lose It shows what he did then and is pretty much a carbon copy of what he is doing now but with even more ridiculous and dangerous people around him. |  | |  |

In seriousness, that is a key part of the Trump plan (as is for any fascist) "I'm the single source of truth, the media are the liars" - it's been Trump's way from Day 1. It's why he has Truth Social after Twitter (pre-Musk) stood up to his lies. For what he does to work, he needs to control the narrative and have the gullible believe. Watch how his cult react to quotes apparently from Biden, only to be told they were actually from Trump and they flip their view from what they said 60 seconds before. |  | |  |
