Watch for postmarks to become the hanging chads of That is exactly the plan. Legal teams on both sides are planning for simultaneous litigation, on the scale of Florida during the election, in multiple battleground states. There are endless happenstances in any election for lawyers to exploit. The electoral combat will not confine itself to the courtroom.
Local election adjudicators can expect to be named and doxed and pilloried as agents of George Soros or antifa. Gore Florida recount, when demonstrators paid by the Bush campaign staged a violent protest that physically prevented canvassers from completing a recount in Miami-Dade County.
Things like this have already happened, albeit on a smaller scale than we can expect in November. With Trump we must also ask: What might a ruthless incumbent do that has never been tried before? Suppose that caravans of Trump supporters, adorned in Second Amendment accessories, converge on big-city polling places on Election Day.
They have come, they say, to investigate reports on social media of voter fraud. Then suppose the president declares an emergency. Federal personnel in battle dress, staged nearby in advance, move in to restore law and order and secure the balloting.
Amid ongoing clashes, they stay to monitor the canvass. They close the streets that lead to the polls. They take custody of uncounted ballots in order to preserve evidence of fraud.
There are variations of the nightmare. The venues of intervention could be post offices. The predicate could be a putative intelligence report on forged ballots sent from China. This is speculation, of course. But none of these scenarios is far removed from things the president has already done or threatened to do. Trump dispatched the National Guard to Washington, D. With every day that passes after November 3, the president and his allies can hammer home the message that the legitimate tabulation is over and the Democrats are refusing to honor the results.
Trump has been flogging this horse already for months. Does it matter what Trump says? It is tempting to liken a vote count to the score at a sporting event. An important thing to know about the Interregnum is that there is no umpire—no singular authority who can decide the contest and lay it to rest. There is a series of lesser officiants, each confined in jurisdiction and tangled in opaque rules.
The courts may eventually weigh in. But by then, the forum of decision may already have moved elsewhere. The Interregnum allots 35 days for the count and its attendant lawsuits to be resolved.
On the 36th day, December 8, an important deadline arrives. At this stage, the actual tabulation of the vote becomes less salient to the outcome. The electors do not meet until six days later, December 14, but each state must appoint them by the safe-harbor date to guarantee that Congress will accept their credentials.
We are accustomed to choosing electors by popular vote, but nothing in the Constitution says it has to be that way. Even so, the Supreme Court affirmed in Bush v. Trump may test this. According to sources in the Republican Party at the state and national levels, the Trump campaign is discussing contingency plans to bypass election results and appoint loyal electors in battleground states where Republicans hold the legislative majority.
With a justification based on claims of rampant fraud, Trump would ask state legislators to set aside the popular vote and exercise their power to choose a slate of electors directly. The longer Trump succeeds in keeping the vote count in doubt, the more pressure legislators will feel to act before the safe-harbor deadline expires. To a modern democratic sensibility, discarding the popular vote for partisan gain looks uncomfortably like a coup, whatever license may be found for it in law.
Would Republicans find that position disturbing enough to resist? Would they cede the election before resorting to such a ploy? Once committed to the position that the overtime count has been rigged, the adviser said, state lawmakers will want to judge for themselves what the voters intended.
Democrats, he added, have exposed themselves to this stratagem by creating the conditions for a lengthy overtime. So pick your poison. Is it worse to have electors named by legislators or to have votes received by Election Day? When The Atlantic asked the Trump campaign about plans to circumvent the vote and appoint loyal electors, and about other strategies discussed in the article, the deputy national press secretary did not directly address the questions. It is one of the available legal options set forth in the Constitution.
If controversy persists as the safe-harbor date nears, he allowed, the legislature will have no choice but to appoint electors. Republicans control both legislative chambers in the six most closely contested battleground states. Of those, Arizona and Florida have Republican governors, too. Foley, the Ohio State election scholar, has mapped the ripple effects if Republican legislators were to appoint Trump electors in defiance of the vote in states like Pennsylvania and Michigan.
The Democratic governors would respond by certifying the official count, a routine exercise of their authority, and they would argue that legislators could not lawfully choose different electors after the vote had taken place. Each competing set of electors would have the imprimatur of one branch of state government.
She could assert her own power to certify the voting results and forward a slate of Biden electors. Much the same thing almost happened during the Florida recount battle of Bush, on November 26 of that year, while litigation of the recount was still under way. In any of these scenarios, the Electoral College would convene on December 14 without a consensus on who had legitimate claims to cast the deciding votes. This would be a genuine constitutional crisis, the first but not the last of the Interregnum.
Two men are claiming the presidency. The next occasion to settle the matter is more than three weeks away. January 6 comes just after the new Congress is sworn in. Control of the Senate will be crucial to the presidency now. Pence, as president of the Senate, would hold in his hands two conflicting electoral certificates from each of several swing states. Note the passive voice. Who does the counting? Which certificates are counted? The Trump team would take the position that the constitutional language leaves those questions to the vice president.
This means that Pence has the unilateral power to announce his own reelection, and a second term for Trump. Democrats and legal scholars would denounce the self-dealing and point out that Congress filled the gaps in the Twelfth Amendment with the Electoral Count Act , which provides instructions for how to resolve this kind of dispute. If the Interregnum is a contest in search of an umpire, it now has of them, and a rule book that no one is sure how to read.
The presiding officer is one of the players on the field. If Democrats win back the Senate and hold the House, then all roads laid out in the Electoral Count Act lead eventually to a Biden presidency. The reverse applies if Republicans hold the Senate and unexpectedly win back the House. But if Congress remains split, there are conditions in which no decisive outcome is possible—no result that has clear force of law. Each party could cite a plausible reading of the rules in which its candidate has won.
There is no tie-breaking vote. How can it be that Congress slips into unbreakable deadlock? The law is a labyrinth in these parts, too intricate to map in a magazine article, but I can sketch one path. Suppose Pennsylvania alone sends rival slates of electors, and their 20 votes will decide the presidency. One reading of the Electoral Count Act says that Congress must recognize the electors certified by the governor, who is a Democrat, unless the House and Senate agree otherwise.
But Pence pounds his gavel and rules against this reading of the law, instead favoring another, which holds that Congress must discard both contested slates of electors. The garbled statute can plausibly be read either way.
