    OK, next question: Let’s say we do a ‘recount’ at this hour, assuming the evidence isn’t already lost, what then?

    Think he’s going to go, ohh my bad?

    Think he’s going to leave willingly?

    Think the court case will even be appropriately handled once it goes to the SCOTUS.

    Think the SCOTUS will even hear it?

    How is it 100 days later, we just now hear about this?

        I can see how it looks like I’m saying that I’m not advocating that at all. I just want to make sure that people understand this isn’t a direct path to change.

        Even a direct admission will not change anyone’s mind. You are at best removing a couple of easy outs** for them to lie and say that’s not how it is. In the end they’re just going to lie and say that it’s not real.

        It’ll be satisfying. It might make some already engaged people a little more engaged, But it isn’t **in itself going to drive the needle we’re going to need more.

      I think the best outcome would be that it might uncover deliberate malfeasance that might prompt some folks in congress to do what is needed. I wouldn’t be optimistic though.

      Slightly more likely is that such discovery would drive the public towards a congressional swing away from his enablers at the next congressional election next year, assuming we have it. I’m moderately more optimistic on that, apparently such a swing is already forming, but to what extent isn’t clear.

      We can’t undo the election results, the congressional count done on jan 6 is definitive.

        I fear, if it looks like Congress isn’t going his way he’s just going to seize control.

      Even if this is true, I don’t think they’re going to find the number of votes to change any outcome. Didn’t Trump win by like 3 million votes? Maybe this could have flipped an electoral college vote, but would that have even mattered?
