U.S. Judge Tanya S. Chutkan has scheduled Donald Trump’s D.C. trial on charges of attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election for March 4, 2024. A separate hearing is being held in Atlanta to determine whether Trump’s former chief of staff, Mark Meadows, can move his election-related indictment from state to federal court.

  • I foresee another 1860 Election with Conservatives splitting their votes between two people.

    Which means Trump would be convicted and labeled a felon months before the July Convention in Houston. Most red states require the governor to pardon or expunge a felon before they could run for office. That means Trump likely would not appear on any blue state ballot and several traditional republican governors would likely not pardon him.

    My thinking is Trump gets on that Ballot in Ohio (17), Indiana (11), Missouri (10), Tennessee (11), Arkansas (6), Alabama (9), South Carolina (9), Mississippi (6), Texas (40), Idaho (4), Wyoming (3), North Dakota (3), South Dakota (3), Nebraska, West Virginia (4), and Florida (30).

    That gives him at most 171 Electoral College votes, 99 short of being elected.

    Alaska (3), Iowa (6), Kansas (6), Kentucky (8), Louisiana (8), Montana (4), Nevada (6), North Carolina (16), Oklahoma (7), Utah (6)

    64 electoral votes go to the actual GOP candidate.

    Arizona (11), California (54), Colorado (10), Connecticut (7), Delaware (3), DC (3), Georgia (16), Hawaii (4), Illinois (19), Maine (4), Maryland (10), Massachusetts (11), Michigan (15), Minnesota (10), Nevada (6), New Hampshire (4), New Jersey (14), New Mexico (5), New York (28), Oregon (8), Pennsylvania (19), Rhode Island (4), Vermont (3), Virginia (13), Washington (12), and Wisconsin (10)

    Biden takes 303 electoral college votes and wins.
