Yeah, what the hell is happening with that?
Is it political, though?

Worth keeping in mind how much of his "go down to the polls and really keep an eye on things" stuff ends up resulting in actionable cases too, I'd be less eager to try and push for a suit if your supporters are in court over voter intimidation charges... but I can pass as a reasonable human being most of the time.
Wellll, look at it the other way.  His supporters will probably "find" lots of cases of false votes, and even vote tampering if they're smart.

What's the odds of him pulling a bush though & taking election results to the court?
Unless there is a super close recount that decides the election in question, he can't. You can't just take the actual electoral results to court. There's no precedent for that. Plus, of course, the Supreme Court has no allegiance to Trump, so they also would have less interest in it.

The 2000 election is the precedent. And SCOTUS isn't going to want to touch it with a 10 meter pole, not with the court being split as it is.

This clown thing should be getting more attention. Here in Kentucky someone has already shot one. It's practically a clown war.

Linkage? And yeah, what the hell is up with that? Mainstream media seems to be ignoring it.

Anyway, I looked at a TIME article on it and it's apparently one of those strange fads that occasionally spread like a wildfire before burning themselves out. The article used that 'knockout' thing from several years ago.

We've certainly got a lot of clowns in Frankfort.

More seriously, there have been sightings and at least one arrest, but I haven't heard word of any being shot.

After attempting to find a link, it appears I heard an unsubstantiated rumor. Apologies for spreading misinformation.

Though someone in Kentucky has shot at a non-clown out of clown paranoia. They're turning us against each other!

So 538 apparently has Hillary up in Ohio over Trump, as well as Florida?

http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/?ex_cid=rrpromo

Also, apparently people with more experience in finance came up with a plausible sounding reason why Trump may not want to release his tax returns and talks about it being smart, if you view it in the context of his wanting to abolish estate tax.

You can avoid paying on real estate until you sell it or die.

Here is another person who has never been important before playing fantasy tax lawyer.  This must be like otacon for people who aren't cool enough for otacon.  I think I speak for all of us when I say this NEEEEEERD needs to be stuffed in a locker.

That seems a lot less plausible and far more complicated than "Trump knowingly pushed debt into his properties with a goal of passing them on after getting rid of estate taxes" to me, but I'm not up on economic boojum.

Do you think it's implausible because it's convoluted?  That's what lawyers are for.
