How few Electoral College votes extra will it take to make Trump president

He is about 40 short so its not impossible. What kind of people get selected for the Electoral College and how strong and/or well off are they. Could Trump's last hope could be to buy the 40 he is missing for a second period as president. 

Now that his core voters where to slow to embbrase his strategy of encouraging voter fraud in the hope enough of them would come forward and cast doubt on the election, emember its a secret vote so you couldn't prove who the fraudulent voters supported, he does seem desperate for any other way of changing the electrion result. Not even swaying from casting doubt over the whole election system if it can gain him the most narcisdistic president USA so far have seen. Have you ever seen any politician in a supposedly democracy that demands so total outspoken admiration of they who surround him at press conferences.

Trouble is the Americans have never been in a situation like this where the sitting president is very wealthy and unscupoulus and have so manny very rich backers from so many also lugubrious sources. Not that he needs them. Haven't his grasroot supporters collected in enough of a fund to pay both 1 or 2 million to each that was supposed to vote Biden but swithces on the day. Not that he needed even that extra money to do it, but he seems to gready to use any of his own if he can avoid it.

Throw in a quick pardon in the deal and many could be persuaded. Plus a pardon for they who persuade them. In all this pardoning thing is a tool with far reaching consequences few could have foreseen. And any impeachement proceedings of Trump himself as a result could easily be held up by the even now 50 Republican Senators plus Pence's double, vote until the 4 years are gone.

Ireland has a water shortage

According to the new state body that is taking over the country’s water supplies.  When the economy dictated that the country should save, all the politicians, bureaucrats and profiteers came together to see how the country could not save, but lay their hands on more.  One of the solutions was to spend hundreds of millions of euro on installing water meters to more than 1 million households that the country so far had not needed, and could have done well without.   Not only that, but since Ireland’s closest neighbour was the one with experience in installing these meters, most of the contracts event there, not even benefiting the local economy.  And have you ever thought of the standards of the installation of these water meters.  It will cost the new quango extra to have it done well, but they will benefit economically if there is a leek on your side of the meter.  There is a lot of talk about how you should fix your dripping taps, but a drip a few feet underground will never be discovered and can easily eat up your measly “free” allowance.

Metered water will lead to a colossal additional private outlay on all sorts of water collecting devices for the less efficient individual collection of rainwater.  A reduced use of water for example for toilet flushing which will lead to more clogged sewage pipes because there is still the same amount of unmentionables and paper to flush away but less water to do it with.

And the new quango  (same as the old quango Board Gais) has already forecasted that it needs to spend untold hundreds of millions on new water projects.  It’s easy to hide some big bonuses to the top brass among a billion Euro of projects.  Percentage-wise the outlay on performance bonuses will be so “insignificant”

 I specially feel sorry for all them that has already had to pay for their own water treatment plants in the community, had them roughly expropriated by the state and now is expected to pay for the water all over again.
