"No, it is volunteer."

If it's volunteer, then what are those gofundme 4+ millions to be used for? veggie snacks?

If the House of Reps. awards Trump victory, the Dems. can say he won in a Republican House.

The good news is that Hillary has to “win” all three states to have more Electoral Votes than President Trump. It’s not enough for her if the challenges merely keep Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania from certifying either candidate as winner. [Note: This assumes they have not bribed nineteen or more Electors to defect, but in that case, the result will be indescribably ugly.]

The bad news? If the left has messed with the voting machines where there is no paper ballot to check, and if those changed votes are enough to claim Hillary “won” all three states, the result will again be indescribably ugly.

Roughly 620,000 Americans died in our first Civil War, two percent of the population. If Soros, Hillary, and the rest start a second civil war with an attempted coup through election fraud, I suspect the death toll will be at least five to ten percent this time around. I hope that outcome can be avoided, but the left gets to make that decision. With luck, America’s totalitarian enemies are just keeping their base motivated and angry, so they have a canned excuse for questioning President Trump’s legitimacy, and they are not yet ready for a shooting war.

That is a misunderstanding of the 12th amendment.

If one state fails to report, the majority of those that do report is the standard.

Thus Trump still wins.

Yes, just days ago. Don’t know how they will complete the recount in time. The deadline to file is either Wed or Friday of this coming week, and given how long it took from 11/8 till earlier this week, I imagine the pressure will be severe. there will also probably be a day lost between Stein’s filing and paying the fee... does anyone know what the MI procedure is? WI is ambiguous, one part of the Code says at time of filing, another says when challenger is given an estimate.

Or flip one state to blue and stall the other two in court.

California should be forced to certify that none of the illegals that were automatically registered to vote when they got their driver’s license actually voted.

Just challenge a bunch of Hillary states. California isn’t going to be able to so a state wide recount in time and they won’t be seated either...

I believe ALL three states have Republican legislatures so there’s no way they won’t vote!

I haven’t found a single case of a state in the Union not voting in the Electoral College.
Would appreciate hearing from anyone who has.

is there anything to prevent Soros/Loserwoman 2016 from claiming fraud in a bunch of states and caling excessive recounts to muck up the electoral college certification? (thereby getting Mr. Trump under 237)

The majority is "of electors appointed." Hillary cannot win simply by disqualifying states; she must flip them. If PA, MI and WI don't appoint electors, Trump will still have a majority of the electors appointed: 260-232.

Amendment XII

...

The President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted.

The person having the greatest Number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed;

Not sure how Stein is permitted to force recounts when she has no possible chance of winning.

That's one of my top two questions!

Mark words, the f-ing bitch is going to be POTUS. Democrats NEVER lose recount. Plenty of votes will be found in crackhouses in Philly, Milwaukee and Detroit to flip Pa, Wi and Pa. Trump will never be POTUS.

If they fail to certify by the deadline, they cannot report.
