Legal experts are fretting about more extreme possibilities, however: What if the election is too close to call or Trump refuses to quietly accept defeat? What if his militant supporters come to his aid? In Will He Go?, legal scholar Lawrence Douglas analyzes how the United States could find itself in the midst of a constitutional crisis. Some might find his proffered scenarios a bit excessive, but if nothing else, Douglas offers a good primer on the intricacies and vulnerabilities of American electoral laws.
