they want the ISSUE not the solution.

the left wants to claim they were denied via the “rigged right wing fascist courts maaaaannnnnn.”

Their lawyers and the clients should be sanctioned for frivolous lawsuits.

So they want a small group of people to decide the presidential race-not the popular vote?

Answer:

Free and fair elections.

.

Question:

What do Democrats (and progressives and Marxists) fear and hate the very most?

I fear for the lives of those persons that attempt such a thing (and especially I fear for the lives for those that are bankrolling it), if they are ‘successful’ in overthrowing the election results that is.

we will see what the American people do if the election is stolen from them

I am peaceful and have no plans other than to watch what may come. I am trusting the judiciary to slap this garbage right out of court. We will see.

Get rid of the electoral college and only a few states matter. The remaining states will not. This is the road to civil war.

We really dodged a bullet on November 8. Imagine if these people were being put in charge?

Indeed, if they are willing to subvert an election, banning guns and mass murder cannot be far behind ...

Keep leftists focused on Trump.

Real people should get out there and take advantage of the greatest economic opportunity since Reagan’s 1980s.

We’re in for a great ride folks! Get busy and earn money!

Libs really want to start something they can’t finish; they would wind up on the even more losing end.

That’s all I will say on this public forum.

No, the candidate still gets to pick the electors. The election tells you which candidate gets to pick them.

At least now, if the candidate decides to murder his entire family on live TV after being elected, we have a way for to get avoid putting him in office.

I agree with the lawyers who say the electors should not be forced to pick their state’s winning candidate. That clearly goes against the founders’ intent and turns the electors into mere figureheads.

There is no other way to characterize this than a GLOBALIST GOV'T ASSAULT on THE WILL OF THE STATES.

The electoral college was probably one of the most brilliant checks on the system.....making blocks...like in Ca, Fl, NYS and places like Philly able to be surmounted by the combination of the less populous states and areas.

Might I suggest cutting Ca and NY into two parts.

In NY...S from the 42nd parallel to the 42 45 00 parallel. N to the 45th parallel. (Or something like that)

Explained to us all once more with the cautionary tales from “Star Wars”:

Darth Sidious was a human male Dark Lord of the Sith who served as the last Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic and as the Emperor of the Galactic Empire, and was the last reigning Dark Lord of the Sith under Darth Bane’s Rule of Two. Sidious, born as Sheev Palpatine, was trained in the dark side of the Force by Darth Plagueis. Eventually, Sidious took on his own apprentice, Darth Maul, and killed his master. As he continued to train Maul, Sidious came into contact with Count Dooku of Serenno, a member of the Jedi Order, who helped further Sidious’ plans. In his public persona, Sidious was the unassuming Senator Palpatine of Naboo, a position he used to manipulate galactic events to his own design.

Thirteen years before his Imperial ascent, Sidious engineered the Invasion of Naboo and used the political crisis as a pretext to being elected Supreme Chancellor by the Galactic Senate. With Maul’s defeat at the hands of the Jedi, Sidious was in need of a new apprentice. Dooku left the Jedi Order and was bestowed the title “Darth Tyranus” by Sidious. Together, they formed the Confederacy of Independent Systems to spark a galactic civil war.

It takes at the very least three amendments to the Constitution. Cannot be done by legislation.

Yep - Dems LOVE the whole SUPER-delegate system - where some voters are more equal than others...

>>Ray v. Blair in case anyone wants to refute these lawsuits to a lib.

I’m no lawyer, but ‘Ray v. Blair’ seems to only address the issue of whether electors can be forced to take a pledge. It doesn’t address the ‘faithless elector’ case.

They better leave the Electoral System alone. It is all that prevents this election decided by other means. They are going to let their alligator mouths write a check that their hummingbird asses can't cash.
