The sad reality is that more than 70 million of Americans voted for Donald Trump and that says something about the people of this country. The words Hate
and White Superiority come to mind. Keep that in mind in the coming four years.
Donald Trump will not accept the conclusions of the Associated Press, CNN and NBC. The real final vote is the electoral college vote taken on December 14. Between now and then the president will appeal to federal courts and the Supreme Court to overturn the election results.
This is not the same as Bush versus Gore in the year 2000. Bush had already been officially certified the winner by the secretary of State, a loyal Republican, but the day before, in a shocking 4-3 decision, the Florida Supreme Court had ordered a statewide recount.
Trump will plead that the results are fraudulent because millions of votes were duplicates, millions of unregistered votes were counted, and of course there were votes cast by millions of deceased persons. He will claim there was a conspiracy to deny him re-election. Without proof the courts, I hope, will not overturn the election results.
The Associated Press now projects the electoral count as 290 for Biden and 214 for Trump. The very close Biden win in Georgia has resulted in plans for a re-count but why bother? Georgia’s 16 electoral votes will not change the outcome of the presidential race.
The lingering question is how will Joe Biden successfully lead this divided country?
