With just days to go before the November 5 presidential election, fears are growing that Republicans intend to interfere with the official results in order to install Donald Trump as president. At Sunday's Madison Square Garden rally, Trump said he had a "little secret" with House Speaker Mike Johnson that would have a "big impact" on the outcome, though neither he nor Johnson elaborated on what that entailed. Elie Mystal, the justice correspondent for _The Nation_, says the secret is almost certainly a plan to force a contingent election, whereby no candidate wins a majority of the Electoral College and the president is instead chosen by the House of Representatives, where Republicans hold a slim majority. Mystal notes that even if Democrats challenge such an outcome, the case would still end up before a Supreme Court with a conservative supermajority that is likely to side with Trump.
