So it pretty obvious that if Trump loses he will mount numerous legal challenges to the contest, falsely claiming vote rigging and other things.

Of course it will end up in the supremes lap again. Last time they put a stop to his shenanigans, but will they this time?

Are you ready for another Bush v. Gore? The Supreme Court is.

Trump could win it all, thanks to just five votes.

I think most people are focused on Georgia’s attempts to overturn the results, but right now it seems likely that Georgia will go for Trump for real and so there won’t be a top the steal attempt in that state. Dems control Pennsylvania, where they can stop his shit to an extent. But what kind of legal challenges will they bring this time? They probably won’t try to do the same thing as last time. It will be a completely different legal theory this time.

But will the Supreme Court buy it this time? Will they put Trump in office despite the obvious will of the voters?

If so, what’s the move? Accept? Or revolt?
 
But are polls reliable -- now? Who are these pollsters getting on the phone -- people without caller ID? And how do they skew? I've seen lots of contradictory polling results in the last month. The only thing the polls suggest is that there will be no landslide in three weeks. It's going to be agonizingly close (and thus ripe for manipulation if you-know-who doesn't get his binky.)
 
Polls are data and data should be handled with care. And while Harris can still win as far as the polls are telling, it is looking to be very tight. Trump's racist, nationalistic, conspiracy theory bullshit is carrying him back up the polls.
 
We have a saying in Australia, and probably you also have it in the USA, that the only poll that matters is the election.
Let's analyze some facts. In the 2020 election 81 million people voted for President Biden, and 74 million for Trump.
Not many people who voted for President Biden will switch to not voting for VP Harris. On the other hand many former Trump voters have expressed that they will be voting for Harris/Walz. So, rational expectation is that the margin for the Democrats will actually increase.
Of course, there are two concerns - people who voted previously not voting this time, and the anti-democratic Electoral College.
However, I think that most voters who voted before will be concerned enough to vote again, and there could be some pleasant surprises coming in regard to formerly Republican strongholds.
