| Dershowitz: Trump Seeks to Deny Biden 270, Put Election in House |
| 2020-11-15 |
| Via Rantingly [WBAP] The legal battle for President Donald Trump is no longer about him reaching 270 electoral college votes, but denying Joe Biden from reaching it, according to legal expert Alan Dershowitz on Newsmax TV. "Let’s look at the big picture: The big picture now has shifted," Dershowitz told "Saturday Report." "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. "What he’s trying to do is to deny Joe Biden 270 votes, by challenging in Pennsylvania, Georgia, in Nevada, in Michigan, in Arizona." Keeping Biden from 270 would put the election on the House delegations — a state-by-state majority held by Republicans 26-23-1 — as designated by the U.S. Constitution. "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 told host Carl Higbie. "He’s trying to follow the playbook of three elections of the 19th century." Also: Plan B? Trump could receive second term from U.S. House in 'contingent election' |
