Dershowitz: Trump May Seek to Deny Biden 270 Electoral Votes, Put Election in Congress:
Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz predicted that President Donald Trump will attempt to settle the election in a way not seen since the 19th century.
In an interview with Newsmax, the longtime legal expert said Trump no longer is attempting to reach 270 Electoral College votes but will instead focus on denying Democratic nominee Joe Biden’s chances of getting 270 votes.
“Let’s look at the big picture: The big picture now has shifted,” Dershowitz told the website. “I do not believe that President Trump is now trying to get to 270 electoral votes. I think he thinks that’s out of the question.”
Trump hasn’t signaled in public about his chances of securing 270 votes due to several legal challenges.
“What he’s trying to do is to deny Joe Biden 270 votes, by challenging in Pennsylvania, Georgia, in Nevada, in Michigan, in Arizona,” Dershowitz said, adding that not allowing Biden to reach 270 out of 538 votes would eventually force House state delegations to vote, where Republicans have an advantage over Democrats. Currently, the GOP has a 26-23-1 state delegation majority in the House of Representatives.
“If he can keep the Biden count below 270, then the matter goes to the House of Representatives, where, of course, there is a Republican majority among the delegations of states, and you vote by state if it goes to the House,” Dershowitz said. “He’s trying to follow the playbook of three elections of the 19th century.” --->READ MORE HERE

Presidential election far from over: Trump still has multiple paths to victory:
The front page above the fold headline in The Washington Post last week blared “Efforts to thwart Biden’s victory start taking shape.”
The New York Times headline opined “Cracks Show in Trump’s Red Wall As More Republicans Accept Biden Win.”
CNN posted a list of Republican senators who have yet to concede the election to Joe Biden.
The same anti-Trump news outlets that have worked to undermine President Trump in every conceivable way for the last five years are demanding Mr. Trump and his supporters surrender
When my enemies tell me to do something, I tend to go the other way.
This election is not over, not by a long shot. In fact, it is probably just beginning.
To show you just how early we are in the election litigations, the case of Bush v. Gore involved recounts. Today, some states are still finishing their initial count. The Bush v. Gore recount fight lasted 36 days, had lots of evidentiary hearings, went to the Florida Supreme Court multiple times, and to the U.S. Supreme Court twice before it was over. --->READ MORE HERE
