By Edward B. Foley of Loyola University.
Foley unknowingly predicted back in 2018 that the 2020 election would be contested. He predicted then that Elizabeth Warren would be the Democrat nominee and that Pennsylvania would be the focus of the dispute where he predicts Trump will have appeared to have won in that State by a narrow 20,000 votes only to see subsequent canvasing throw the State to Warren.
Beginning on page 13 in the bottom section entitled, "What Could Happen," the author uses the 12th Amendment to the Constitution to show how the showdown over disputed electors might play out. It is well worth the read. Other "what if" scenarios continue throughout the essay, including the one I feel is most likely, that of Pence invalidating all slates of electors from all disputed states. This action reduced the overall number of electoral votes needed to win, throwing the election to Trump. Of course, such a scenario would cause the currently disinterested SCOTUS to suddenly take an interest.
