It's a huge mess for sure. We all knew this was happening. Its going to be a huge legal battle and both candidates should get their lawyers prepared.

LOL! So much this

Not surprised he will spend the past months of his presidency serving himself :/

The question is, once we have certified votes and the bullshit is done (hopefully by late this month) if Trump is winner, will Biden concede or take it to courts, if Biden is winner will trump concede or take it to courts?

Bottom line is, if either side can tie it up until the 14th of December, the House gets to pick the President, and the Senate gets to pick the Vice President. Each State's Delegation totals 1 vote (so um, basically majority rules from each state I guess?) First to 26 wins. I would assume a renewal of Pence as Vice President given Republican Senate majority. The question becomes President at that point. Given more states have red majorities in the house than blue (I THINK! Don't mark me 100% on this), that would point to Trump likely winning the House vote. But then again, plenty of Republican House members (old and incoming, though it'd only be the current House that'd vote, not incoming) don't much like Trump, and could theoretically vote for Biden or even Harris, or whoever else.

So... Going back to your original point, I'm curious as to the "self-serving" nature of it. Because I think if they can possibly manage it, both candidates would refuse to concede, regardless of count, and I think both candidates would rather put it to the House and Senate than take a loss. And in all likelihood, that'd probably guarantee a Republican Vice President, and quite possibly a Democrat President. Then, both sides win, because they can both be unhappy.

Fun, huh?

why do they want to boost the count in Arizona ?


reading this

(

CBS News correspondent Jamie Yuccas joined CBSN early Thursday with a report from Maricopa County, where ballots continue to be counted in the tightening race between President Trump and Joe Biden. Biden currently leads Mr. Trump in Arizona by around 68,000 votes. As votes were being tallied Wednesday night, protesters gathered outside, concerned that not all ballots were being counted.

The next batch of Maricopa results is expected to come Thursday around 10 p.m. Early Thursday morning, the county said that about 275,000 ballots, plus provisional ballots remained to be tallied.

Seems it will end up the same way than everywhere else.

Your question makes no sense. All votes are not yet counted in Arizona. Nobody's talking about "boosting" votes. They're talking about finishing counting them. Arizona's still on the margin. Either Candidate can win.

Yesterday Arizona announced that they would hold off on finishing the count until Friday. That's what the protest was about. Nobody wants them to wait. Everyone wants them to finish counting.

"why do they want to boost the count in Arizona ?"

Did you read ?

Again, your question does not make sense. They need to FINISH COUNTING BALLOTS.

If your question is regarding provisional ballots, those are cast every election, and are the last to be counted. Typically most of them get thrown out, but some stay. They're ballots where the voter may or may not be eligible to vote. That's not an attempt to "boost" any vote.

So they protest because the count is not fast enough ?

Wow, sad. Btw "typically" is maybe not applying like usual this time.

You must have missed the SharpieGate Memo.
