Some nightmare scenarios for the the November elections via rickjnewman
Mail-in voting in the Georgia primary elections this year was 2,500% higher than in 2016, as many voters chose to avoid the risk of visiting a polling station amid the coronavirus pandemic. But the June 10 election was a fiasco anyway. Some people who requested a mail-in ballot didn’t get one, so they had to show up in person. Polling sites were understaffed.
The courts could decide the outcome, as they did regarding Florida in 2000. But the U.S. electoral process gives Congress the final vote-counting authority in early January, and it’s the new Congress voted into office the prior November, not the old Congress. So the courts could decline to rule and defer to Congress.
There’s also the question of what would happen if Biden beat Trump cleanly and Trump refused to accept the results, claiming fraud, as he has before, without merit. The controversial outcome in 2000 didn’t become a crisis because Democrat Al Gore accepted the Supreme Court’s decision that George W. Bush won.
