    I have just watched the Legal Eagle video about the various law-related things that happened around the 2020 election.

    It served as a reminder that the plan had apparently been to claim to have won before all the votes were counted - something about doing so in the interim between two sets of votes being counted (I want to say mail-in versus in-person, but I might have misunderstood) and then act as if Trump had actually won at that point, thus giving legitimacy to any later cry of foul that was almost sure to be needed.

    Which is precisely what Trump did.

    … my point being that it would be foolish to assume it wasn’t in the play book for this time around as well.

      What I’m interested in seeing is if fox news will be willing to cast off any remaining semblance of fairness in favor of calling the election for him as well.
