The press are digging their own graves.
At the Hershey Rally, Trump said he would reverse all of Obama’s Executive Orders.
OUCH.....
Good. Let them.
Right. Why limit the survey to 10 states?
Actually the Dec. 19 Electoral College vote is not the end of the process. Per my understanding, the official announcement of Trump’s election (we hope) will not occur until January 6. Here is what I understand is the rest of the election process:
— First Monday after the second Wednesday in December (Dec. 19): Electors meet in each state to vote for president and vice president on separate ballots. Each elector records his or her vote on six original “certificates of vote,” which are paired with six “certificates of attainment.” The electors sign, seal and certify packages of electoral votes and send them (not certain how—hopefully in a secure manner not subject to interception by those up to no good) to federal and state officials.
— Nine days after the meeting of electors (Dec. 28): The president of the Senate, the archivist of the United States and other federal and state officials must have the “certificates of vote” in hand.
— Jan. 6: Congress meets in joint session to count the electoral votes. This time, Vice President Joe Biden, as president of the Senate, will preside. Votes from the states are opened and recorded in alphabetical order. Biden will announce the results and declare who is elected president and vice president.
— Jan. 20: Inauguration Day. The president-elect is sworn into office.
Seems to me there is still time for the Democrats to steal the election. Call me a pessimist.
