But now the National Archive rejects and you agree with it.
Actually my passion is for Go. Simple game. That takes a lifetime to master.
Maybe the one thing China has given us that I actually like right now.
But I catch what you mean.
(a) That's not what my copy of the Constitution says; if yours says something different, please quote it.
(b) In any event, no state legislature has sent any alternate slate of electors to the National Archives.
Those slates of electors that you refer to are certified by the governors of the states. That's not a constitutional certification of electors.
So the National Archive is allowing one unconstitutional slate of electors to pass but not another.
Try to find another legit source that this story is real. I searched and cannot find it.

Well, you're a libertarian so perhaps your version of the Constitution is different? ;)
Seriously, I'm sure you know what Article Two says. It says that the "manner" in which the states send the electors is by the state legislature. And it is the state legislatures that direct the electors.
(b) In any event, no state legislature has sent any alternate slate of electors to the National Archives.
Of course, but some states have sent two slates of unconstitutional electors. And the National Archive has decide to keep only one of those.
“That’s not a constitutional certification of electors.”
If the legislature passed a law saying the governor certifies the electors, then that’s constitutional as the Constitution gives state legislatures authority to determine how electors are certified.
“He is not alone. They pull any guerrilla stunts, on the streets of DC and all hell breaks loose. He is the #1 Law Enfrorcement officer of the United States. They can try and impeach him later... but these are LAWS they passed years ago, and are there for a reason- even against later swamp monsters.”
Just posted, a Trump supporter has discovered a hidden stash of 2x6 lumber and Dozens of Propane Tanks on a side street near where the Trump Supporters will be gathered. She posted it on Social Media and I assume she also contacted the police. When I said, Guerilla Warfare is what the dems are engaged in I wasn’t being metaphorical. Meanwhile the “Republicans” fiddle while Rome burns.
Excerpted from the 12th Amendment: "The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President, and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and of all persons voted for as Vice- President, and of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate [emphasis added]; […]"
Electors were intended to be independent of state governors and legislatures imo. So the non-elector certification of electoral votes and alternate destination addresses of Electoral Count Act violate the chain of custody of electoral votes from electors to vice president specified in the 12th Amendment imo.
Corrections, insights welcome.
The state legislators crafted and passed laws giving the right of certification to their states' governors.
Why don't you think the state legislatures have the power to do this?
The US Constitution gives them the right to choose the manner of selecting electors.
No. The archivist only forwarded the electors that were certified by the state. The “alternate” electors are still sitting at the archivist.
Some people on this thread (and forum)want to believe in fairy tales. Doesn’t matter what you show them.
It’s not incorrect. Mosby doesn’t know what he is talking about. The alternate electors were not forwarded to congress.
“ So then the National Archive has the power to make the decision on what is an illegal slate of electors.”
These pretend Electors are not illegal - they are - nothing.
I think your top speed lags a bit behind my lowest gear.
The National Archives and Records Administration does not exist in a bubble; what it does is governed by statue passed by Congress, signed by the Executive.

Knock yourself out.
I believe the Constitution only gives the legislature the authority to pick the electors. It doesn't give the legislature the authority to legislate that another branch pick the electors.
The Constitution says that the legislature "directs" the electors. It doesn't say that the legislature directs another branch to direct the electors.
Sounds right.
There was never any Legislative certification of those ballots.
Leftists are generally ignorant about how people see this election. It is hidden from them by the Leftist media and Big Tech.
” It doesn’t give the legislature the authority to legislate that another branch pick the electors.”
Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors…” (Article II, Section 1)
the Constitution declares that state legislatures have the power to decide how electors are appointed.
