U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly cast doubt on whether he would accept the results of election day in November. What if Trump loses the election but refuses to leave the White House? Today on This Matters, Geoffrey Skelley, elections analyst for FiveThirtyEight, breaks down how Trump can dispute the results, why it could turn into an ugly fight at the Supreme Court level and what the legal checks and balances are to ensure the election winner serves as president.

For the political nerds listening (respect!), Geoffrey gets deep into the different simulations, at a state level, at an Electoral College level, how the Constitution gets wrapped up in what could a full-blown legal battle.

This Matters lifts the veil on what QAnon is, how it's spread like a virus in mainstream discourse, what responsibilities social media companies have in cracking down on it and why internet-fuelled (and false) beliefs carry real consequences.

Amarnath Amarasingham, associate professor at Queen's University and associate fellow at the International Centre for the Study of Radicalization, explains how QAnon has pushed believers to act out in violence and why the conspiracy theory carries a particular "religious" tone.
