With the presidential election a week away, tensions are running high about the possibility that Donald Trump doesn't concede defeat if he loses like in 2020. And while legal experts are highlighting there are improved guardrails to prevent this from happening, there are still to "long shot" routes the Republican could take should he decide to go down that path.
Speaking to NBC News, Richard Hasen, an election expert and law professor at UCLA said one of the ways could be trying to delay certifying the results in certain counties or states. Considering there are several elected officials in battleground states who rejected the validity of the 2020 election, it wouldn't come up as a total surprise if they refused to certify a count or cause other delays.
