What makes the safe harbor date significant is with the transition. No longer would Republicans have anything to hide behind that prevents them from recognizing Joe Biden as the President-elect and give his team authority to work with the outgoing administration. There's been a concern that Trump's stubbornness will hinder the coronavirus response.
What would you do if faithless electors cast their votes for Trump or withheld them? Would you tell them about the "Safe Harbor" date while the Trump followers cheered and danced?
I'm sure the electors will vote as they have been instructed. Normally no one in America has to worry about these things. And we don't even need a "Safe Harbor" date to know who is president. But with Trump's followers December 8th means jack squat. The date they look to hoping to see a spark of revolution where they can stand up for Trump against the lying Dems is December 14th where they hope faithless electors will reverse the election and bring about a Civil War against the Democrats. Not sure what percentage of Trump's followers probably believe in this possibility and will stand up for him if it happens, but I do know more than a few waiting for this to happen. If it does, they will rise up in protest and prepare to fight the Democrats for their president. Trump doesn't appear to be calming his followers to ensure this doesn't happen as the clock ticks down on his presidency.
I want to see one more Trump follower hope dashed as on December 14 America proves it is not on the verge of Civil War and nothing odd will happen with the electoral vote. I must have more Trump following friends than you. You don't hear the looney ideas of how Trump is going to win as much as I do. I still can't believe that we have people in America willing to fight a Civil War over this clown, but they are there.
