Biden and Army of Lawyers Lay Groundwork to Challenge Election Result "It has become a truism that if you want to know what Democrats are up to, just listen to what they accuse their opponents of doing. That means brace yourself for voter fraud in November:
Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden said on Wednesday that his party has assembled a group of 600 lawyers and thousands of other people to prepare for possible “chicanery” ahead of November’s election.
"Al Gore’s attempt to sue his way into the White House after his defeat in 2000 was nothing compared to what the Dems will put us through if they lose by a slim margin in 2020." . . .
What if Trump refuses to accept defeat in 2020?
"Thankfully, there are four steps that key actors across the American system of governance can take to get ahead of this possibility." In other words, take it as a given and use it on the campaign trail. Instruct Joe to say it, then use it as legitimate news. Kinda like that Adam Schiff version of Trump''s phone call to Ukraine.

Of course, the idea is leftist and ridiculous . . . "This theory has been floated by comedian Bill Maher, pushed in the New York Times opinion page, and even hinted at by Joe Biden, who has said, “As the walls close in on him, he becomes more erratic. And I’m genuinely concerned about what he may do in order to try to hold on to the office.”
"At the outset, it’s worth stating how much supreme irony there is that Trump’s opponents, who spent years pursuing the conspiracy that he was installed into office by Russia, are the ones raising alarms about anybody refusing to accept defeat.
"But the theory itself is completely absurd — as if Trump is going to be barricading himself behind the Oval Office desk on Inauguration Day.
Practically, it doesn’t make sense for two main reasons. One, there’s no reason to believe that Trump would take any sort of action to remain in power. Two, even if he did, nobody would go along with it.
"On the first front, it’s worth noting that whatever Trump may say in public, he has not lived up to the wildest dreams of critics to become some sort of dictator. He may fume about the fake news, but he isn’t exactly jailing journalists. He may issue executive orders and criticize judges who block them, but he hasn’t been casually defying court orders." . . .
