We have a presidential election. Voters vote. A winner and a loser are determined. The Loser gives a concession speech. Nothing goes to the courts.
Unless it's some complete blow out, which is unlikely, regardless of who wins, this will probably end up in the courts.
Even if Trump wins by a landslide, like Reagan in 84 and the Democrats won't accept the results.

Yep. It will be the Russians or post office collusion, or both. Maybe they'll even throw in some others. And, you can bet if Trump wins, the House will find something to impeach him for. Could be anything. They will want to make sure Trump goes down in history as being the only president in history who was impeached twice, even if he wasn't removed both times.
If Biden wins, it's going to be something too. Probably along the lines of Chinese interference or mail-in voting. And if he does, the Republicans in Congress will sure as hell try their best to hamper him at every move. If Biden ****s up enough, maybe even try to push an impeachment, though I suppose that would then depend on how the mid-terms went.
Ummmmmmmmmmm, I was referring to the 2020 election.

Then you did a poor job of stating that. That's not what was implied in your post.
Amazing all this talk of the democrats cheating but there is no precedent for that. Furthermore if anyone is fomenting talk about not accepting the election results it's our dear president. He did it last time too, until he won.
Yep. Turnabout is fair play. Democrats wrote the book. Republicans will follow it.

Republicans will first need a majority. That ain't going to happen.
Analysis appears that Trump is on a trajectory to see the biggest blowout since Carter, except he is on the losing side. However, 50 days is still a long time to truly predict anything. This analysis is likely to be more accurate since 2016 since the biggest mistake was not weighting polls by education (however, the new electorate that Trump brought in has been well researched at this point), which was largely fixed in 2018 (which was quite accurate in aggregate polling, even if the mid west is not yet completely nailed down)
I personally see room for error in 2020 polling due to the Joe Rogan / new "traditionalist" types that I am not sure that pollsters are aware of yet.
If the current analysis rings true though, then the loss will be blamed on some spectre like mail in voting or people casting multiple ballots.
If Trump ends of winning, then the loss will be blamed on something like voter suppression and other trickery.
I expect the next 4 years to be full of protests and be quite rocky from a social standpoint no matter who wins. Another trend that will begin play out in the next four years will be how the various Latino populations decide on their various political stances and currently look like they might be headed towards an almost 60/40 split between preference between liberal and conservative policy.

A lot of Latinos are Catholic. And, a lot of Latinos are actually against open borders, especially the ones who came here the legal way. And, a lot of Latinos were against opening up with Cuba. Democrats have nothing to address any of those Latinos with.
You think Biden would contest it if he lost? On what grounds?
Trump has been working on his arguments for over a year now, but I haven't heard that from Joe. Did I miss something?
If it's close, then yes.
I was just thinking last night, with all the mail in votes to process and the clear possibility of demands for a recount or investigations, we may not know who the winner is for days--or weeks, or months. The one time it really matters, too. It sucks.
