Biden Is Projected To Be The President-Elect. Here’s How It All Went Down.

Since we were talking about the potential changes to absentee voting in a post-pandemic election, a reader just reminded me of one creative workaround to the “excuse” requirement: In Tennessee, one excuse you can use to vote absentee is observing a religious holiday. So a 27-year-old from Nashville started the Church of Universal Suffrage, an officially registered, nonprofit religious institution that observes every Election Day as a religious holiday.

Here’s something for folks watching the courts: Republicans in Nevada and the Trump campaign filed an emergency motion asking the state Supreme Court to stop processing some mail-in ballots in Clark County while they appeal issues related to observer access and the signature-checking system that’s being used. We’ll keep you posted on what happens next. Clark County, of course, is the home of Las Vegas and there have already been several unsuccessful attempts by the Trump campaign and the state GOP to delay counting of mail-in votes in the county over these issues.

In press conferences and at rallies, Trump has cast doubt on the accuracy of the 2020 election results and has refused to commit to peaceful transfer of power should he lose. So, what will happen if the race is tight and Trump disputes the results in a key state? Here, elections analyst Geoffrey Skelley explores some real-world scenarios that could lead us to a constitutional crisis.
