(Copying a take I posted elsewhere, because I'm curious if @xhxhxhx might have a take.)

Ben Shapiro's nightmare scenario for the 2024 election

Via the Daily Wire.

Summarized: If you can argue that the apportionment of seats in the House of Representatives after the 2020 Census was wrong, then a 270-268 EC win for Harris could be converted by the Supreme Court to a narrow EC win for Trump by reallocating EC votes from Democratic states (NY, Michigan, Delaware) to Republican states (Florida, Texas).

I don't think this works, but the why isn't clearcut so much as it is a bunch of arguing-in-the-alternative, which I lay out below:

Electoral College apportionment by state isn't set based on raw population numbers; it's set based on the number of senators and representatives they have. For the SC to throw out the existing apportionment of EC electors would require them to rule that the just-elected 2025-2026 class of the House of Representatives is not correct, and throw that entire class out (or at least the reps in the affected states), leaving those states without representation in the House during the vote counting.

Furthermore, The US does not have procedures for invalidating the results of an election or holding a do-over. The SC would be flying by the seat of their tighty-whities. It is generally accepted that members of the House of Representatives must be elected to that chamber. Because House of Representative seats are generally from drawn districts (although not required to be), to hold a new election would require those states to first draw new districts, which is a process that takes a year at the best of times. Except the SC would be ruling that the Census was wrong, and can't be used as the basis of that redistricting, so since the maps are drawn based on population distributions within the state, first you'd need to redo the Census, which is a process that takes a year when they've had a couple of years of prep time. Which means that it would take two years to get new maps, and then you'd need another year to run an election, which puts us electing the Representatives to the House for the 119th Congress (2025-2026) in 2027.

You could maybe condense that to two years, and elect the 2025-2026 House in 2026.

Now, a Trump supporter might say: Sure, but you don't need to have Representatives seated in order to have EC electors seated. And maybe the Constitution doesn't actually require Representatives to be elected, so states can use their own procedures to fill the empty seats in the interim, such as by appointing new representatives to fill the empty seats, and waiving residency requirements because their districts haven't been drawn yet. You just need to have the number of seats, so that electors can be appointed.

The rejoinder is that if you don't have Representatives in their seats on January 6, 2025, then those States whose Representatives were thrown out will lack representation in the House when the EC votes are counted. Therefore Ben Shapiro's SC scenario would leave the election in an unresolvable situation, where the House of Representatives would not be able to fulfill its 12thA duty to elect a new President if the EC does not have a winner.

The 12thA scenario probably doesn't change anything in the current election, since it seems extremely unlikely that the EC will lack a winner, no matter how it is apportioned. The SC could look at the reapportioned tally and say that a House vote would not be needed.

(also let's fix this by requiring the EC to have an odd number of seats)

However! The Electoral Count Reform Act of 2024 provides that, during the counting of the ballots, the gathered members of the House and Senate may file objections to the counting of any State's EC votes. If there are no Representatives from these changed states present in the joint session on that day, then their State will be unable to file objections, or join other objections, or vote on objections, and their State's interests cannot be adequately represented. This isn't a scenario that the Trump supporters will accept, because it removes the big Trump-supporting states from the votes to support Trump.

Now the SC could try to split the difference, and use the mis-allocated batch of 2025-2026 Representatives to vote on an EC batch with corrected numbers. To do so would be to say that it's OK to have a bad allocation in one situation but not in the other. I don't think the more-centrist Republicans on the court would join with the right-winger Republicans to endorse such a take. 4-3 conservatives for Shaprio's scenario, 2-3 against, 3 liberal against: results in at least a 5-4 ruling against splitting the EC count from the House apportionment.

Keeping the EC and House apportionment together means that the 2025-2026 House lacks representatives from major Republican states during the EC vote, and during the 2025-2026 Congress. This would not be acceptable to the right-wing SC justices, nor to the states which stand to benefit from reallocation, so it's not going to move forward.

Or maybe the SC finds that States can appoint Representatives to fill empty seats, instead of using an election. Then, swift action from the existing State governments would let the House sit with all Representative seats filled in the new apportionment, even without drawn districts. But the appointment scenario still requires the SC to invalidate the Census, and invalidate the apportionment, and invalidate the election that was done with districts based on the invalidated apportionment (which has never, ever been done before), and invalidate state laws requiring that Representatives be elected. Precedent and practicality don't bind the current Supreme Court, and Moore v. Harper might give them the power, but that set of invalidations still seems like way too much to ask. I hope.

With these paths foreclosed, I think that's the entire set of possibilities ruled out.

No, if the current Supreme Court wanted to hand the Presidency to Trump, they wouldn't fuck with the Electoral College. They'd find a way to throw out a bunch of Democratic ballots.

What would your tiny/giant home look like?

Oooh!! Okay Giant wise I am fullsend into the idea of semi-nomadic wilderness giant.

Just the idea of building a massive (though fairly small to scale) shelter??? Digging into the side of a hill and covering the entry with some massive fabric like a stolen sail or what not?

Or even just your standard tarp shelter?

Or THIS with whole trees???

The ultimate fantasy would be having a herd of mix livestock follow around?? Like bison???

If it was a more perminant structure (think hillside dugout) I'd like to imagine there would be a ton of sizey nick knacks. Sculptures snagged from old abandoned buildings, glass stained windows from abandoned churches, a giant planter or pot made from a scrapped watertower.

A bed made out of old haybales, foliage and a TON of pelts. Very minimal.

----

Funny enough, this little fantasy had me imagining how it would go meeting my spouse in this sort of scenario, but the man is so anti-spooky that I can't imagine a scenario where he finds a giant structure in the woods and thinks "Hmm, yes, I'd like to know more."

Though he could be (and HAS BEEN) lured away by bison. This just makes me think of how people use their dogs as icebreakers to hit on people 😭
