Subject: Re: What would be more chaos?
I gave you a scenario where the right might riot already. If the outcome is perceived as fair and the count accurate, the right will accept it; any perceived glitches will amplify the distrust.

Is there any scenario where the outcome will be perceived as fair and the count accurate?

Again, Biden won the 2020 election by 4.5 points in the popular vote. There were no material problems with the vote counting. At no point were any of Trump's lawyers able to walk into any federal courtroom and even allege that there was any fraud or tampering with the vote counting.

Yet the right perceived it as not fair and the count not accurate.

If Trump wins, do Congressional democrats attempt to invoke the 14th Amendment and overturn the election? Before you dismiss the scenario you might want to look up what Rep. Raskin has been saying.

No, they don't.

These statements are always hard to answer, because saying "Congressional democrats" can mean:

- one Congressional democrat
- two Congressional democrats
- a small number of Congressional democrats
- a sizable number but less than half of Congressional democrats
- a majority of Congressional democrats
- all Congressional democrats

(This problem comes up when someone says things like, "Liberals believe that guinea pigs should have the same rights as humans," which is not true of liberals generally but you can probably find at least three liberals on earth that believe that statement.)

So I certainly believe that there may be a least one or two Democrats who keep banging on the 14th Amendment drum. I do not think "Congressional democrats" will attempt to invoke the 14th Amendment. Any more than I believe that "Senate Republicans" tried to block certification of the 2020 election, even though a handful of individual Senators did protest some of the certifications.
