Since Nov. 3, the entire country has witnessed the phenomenal deployment of the forces representing President Donald Trump, as they use all means available to overturn the results of the election in the battleground states closely favoring former Vice President Joe Biden. What if Team Trump had applied as much zeal and targeted imagination to fighting the COVID-19 pandemic?
It has been inspiring to see news reports of legal teams dispatched within days to several states to raise all conceivable objections to the normal legal processes of vote counting, as well as the certification of election results. Team Trump have proven themselves nimble enough to shift from raising objections to mail-in ballots, possibly favoring Joe Biden, toward actions to prevent the certification of election results in hopes that Republican-led legislatures will step in and appoint electors favoring the president. I can only imagine how a concerted effort toward the direction of expertise and resources devoted to attacking the pandemic could have gone a long way toward assisting the people in those areas of the country hardest hit by the virus.
I am not saying I see a big win coming for the president in his desperate effort to overturn his election loss, but I do see that Team Trump can launch a significant effort when they want to.
