WILMINGTON, Del. (Reuters) - President Donald Trump’s latest strategy for attacking the legitimacy of the U.S. e******n appears to be focusing on a bold power play of persuading Republican state lawmakers to overturn the v**e in states won by his Democratic challenger Joe Biden.

Most e******n scholars said the odds of Trump ultimately being named president are exceedingly slim.

But the laws have never been tested like this before.

BIDEN WON THE E******N, DIDN’T HE?
Biden won by a comfortable 306-232 margin in E*******l College v**es.

The process for formalizing his win, however, will take place in the coming weeks.

In the United States, a candidate becomes president by securing at least 270 “e*******l” v**es.

E*****rs are party loyalists who pledge to back the candidate who won the popular v**e in their state and are allotted among the states based roughly on population.

Typically, a state certifies a Republican or Democratic slate of e*****rs based on which candidate won the popular v**e.

E*****rs convene on Dec. 14 to formally select the president, and the results are sent to Congress to tally on J*** 6.

On Jan. 20, one p**********l term ends and the next begins.

WHAT IS TRUMP’S STRATEGY?
The president has repeatedly claimed without providing evidence that the e******n was s****n. His campaign has filed lawsuits in closely contested states such as Pennsylvania where he is trying to stop officials from certifying the v**e. Trump’s lead lawyer Rudy Giuliani said on Thursday that more lawsuits were on the way.

Delaying or blocking the state certification process could clear the way for legislators to appoint e*****rs pledged to Trump, even in states where Biden won the popular v**e.

A person familiar with the Trump campaign’s legal strategy said it has become a “more targeted approach towards getting the legislators engaged.”

“The real fight, if there is to be one, is over the certification of results and then watching to see if state legislatures in these Republican states ... are willing to begin talking about this kind of shocking power play,” said David Daley of FairV**e, which advocates for e******n reforms.

WHAT IS THE ROLE OF STATE LAWMAKERS?
Usually, the secretary of state or governor certifies the v**e. State legislators generally have no role in the process.

But Trump supporters have seized on language in the U.S. Constitution that says each state shall appoint e*****rs “in such manner as the Legislature thereof may direct.”

“Everyone should remember the central role of state legislatures in picking a president,” Newt Gingrich, a former speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, said on Twitter on Saturday. “The Legislature, not the Secretary of State, Governor or court.”

The Trump campaign took this argument a step further on Wednesday, claiming in a lawsuit that the administration of Pennsylvania’s e******n was so flawed that state officials had usurped the power of the legislature to set e******n rules.

The campaign’s proposed fix: let the state’s Republican-controlled legislature appoint e*****rs and declare Trump the victor of the state, even though Biden won the popular v**e.

This is a difficult legal argument since the campaign is asking a court to override the v**e of millions of Americans because of relatively minor alleged v****g irregularities.

OBSCURE FEDERAL LAW
An obscure federal law provides another opening for lawmakers to appoint Trump e*****rs in states won by Biden.

That law allows state legislators to appoint e*****rs if v**ers “failed to make a choice” on E******n Day. Legal experts said legislators could pass a resolution saying the e******n was so marred by irregularities that the outcome could not be determined and then proceed to appoint their own e*****rs.

This is particularly true in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, where the legislature is controlled by Republicans while the governors and secretaries of state are Democrats.

“There’s a lot of reasons to think that’s illegal and improper and politically infeasible,” said Paul Smith, a professor at Georgetown and a vice president for the Campaign Legal Center, a v**er advocacy group. “But some people are talking about it for sure.”

UNCHARTED TERRITORY
Should legislators appoint e*****rs pledged to Trump in states Biden won, it’s possible that two sets of e*****rs from one state will meet on Dec. 14 and cast competing b****ts - one for Trump and one for Biden.

Academics have sketched out several scenarios of what could happen next, though it’s unchartered territory. When Congress meets on J*** 6 to count the v**es, it’s possible Vice President Mike Pence, as president of the Senate, may throw out both sets of a state’s e*****rs. Or Congress could end up picking the next president.

“That’s what is so dangerous about this entire process which has been predicated on norms for so long that it has disguised just how rickety the system is if someone wanted to play this kind of hardball,” said FairV**e’s Daley.

i worked as a janitor at a large complex. The supervisor showed me the tool room and it was a mess. Tools literally laying on top of other tools. I asked if he wanted me to clean it up and he said to leave it alone, he knew where everything was and no one else could find what they were looking for. Gained some words of wisdom that day.

one positive thing about his legal battles right now, he will end up proving whether or not the e******n was r****d or not. So everyone should just accept the results when the e*****rs cast their v**es

In a very brief announcement, Trump boasted about today’s surge in the stock market happening during his administration. Ironically, the surge is due to Biden’s cabinet choices being made public.

Only an insane person would believe Trump at this point.
