Big day tomorrow. Maybe even bigger than Monday.
When the states are projected to certify their electionshttps://t.co/cdpxpk64YA
Tomorrow: Georgia Monday: Michigan, Pennsylvania Nov 30: Arizona Dec 1: Nevada, Wisconsin
The uncontested states + GA/MI/PA puts Biden at 279 electoral votes.

Like I said here, the problem with Trump’s coup plot is that he needs some state to go first in voiding their election with no assurance that other states will follow. It’s one thing to cancel a democratic election and trigger the insane upheaval that would follow knowing that it’ll mean your party’s leader will remain in power. It’s another thing to do it knowing that the effort might — and almost certainly will — fail. If Georgia certifies its results tomorrow, that’s 16 electoral votes off the board for Trump. Even if Michigan and Pennsylvania go through with the coup on Monday, Biden would still stand at 270. Trump would need to flip Nevada or Arizona or Wisconsin or something else to achieve his aim. So why would Michigan or Pennsylvania go through with it?
And if Georgia cowboys up and certifies, it’ll look that much weaker and inexplicable if Michigan and Pennsylvania refuse to do so.
