I doubt anything will happen...despite the hope we all share that there will be one decent man left in Washington. They’ve all sold their souls to be in DC, no one is going to weather the “racism” charge and vote against certification.

Good morning bump.
Maggie F has already made my day with this post:

See chicago Crime thread for the link and more information

Chicago Crime

During Roland Burris’ first full fiscal year as Illinois attorney general, more than half of the money his office awarded for outside legal work went to campaign contributors, according to a book published by Illinois Issues magazine and the Springfield State Journal-Register.

In FY 1992, Burris’ office issued roughly $4 million in outside legal contracts to individuals and law firms, according to the book, Illinois For Sale, which was published in 1997. More than $2.25 million of that amount went to contributors to Burris’ campaign or to the main Democratic fundraising committee.

None of the outside legal contracts were required to be put out for bids by competing law firms. Burris’ office was allowed to award the contracts without consideration over whether the state received the best price for the legal work.

I was hoping an elector from Alaska naturally.

We will just have to wait and see I suppose.

Picturing a scenario of what if, how would the MSM react?

My guess is they will go into shock mode with constant Red Alerts on faux.

If there was a contested scenario it could also open up other fracture scenarios, it could turn the tide in as such as the MSM going into shark feeding frenzy.

"I’ve read that some member from Georgia is going to question bambi’s ineligibility."

An objection will require at least 1 Senator and 1 Representative to object in writing. Even this will only delay the result for 2 hours while the houses separate and vote down ANY objection to the ONE.

Challenge the count? We need someone to request documents verifying he is eligible to be POTUS.

I predict we’ll have one Congressman attempt to object and it will be ignored by the speaker as if no one said anything.

I hope one will....if for no other reason than to make a symbolic stand...and give me hope that a spinalectomy isn’t performed on everyone who enters DC.
