I did not say that.
I didn't say you said it, I asked you...Do you too think the number of Electoral College votes can change from 516 to 538? (I should have said 538 to 516)
I was trying to ascertain your level of understanding.

As far as your apology, you can choose to be an A$$hat, but you will still OWE that apology for the way you attacked a fellow freeper.

Then I'm going to be an A$$hat and you can think that till the day you die too, even if it is another 100 years.

It was a purely hypothetical “what if the Supreme Court invalidated a state's election.

You at reply 319.
That raises questions. If the election for a state is invalidated, that also invalidates the house and senate races in those states, doesn’t it. At least that’s what I think I read somewhere.
So theoretically, that would mean that the House on Jan 3 would be constituted differently than we have been thinking?
I’ve been reading that the SOS of the various states can’t certify just part of the election - It’s all or nothing?

A reply TO YOU at 652.
If a state is taken out of the election the 270 is no longer the magic number. The new magic number would be half of the new total of all electoral votes. So 536 less the state electoral votes that got disqualified. E.g. Pa gets disqualified with its 20 electoral votes. So the total electoral count goes to 516. So to win, a candidate must have half of 516 plus one: 259.

That was presented as FACT in answer to your query in 319.
So once again I ask (correctly)...Do you too think the number of Electoral College votes can change from 538 to 516?

I challenged the most egregious parts in replies 734 (where I did indeed call someone out for the lie they did tell because the number of EC votes can't be changed as was claimed) and 824!


And you deign to chastise me for correcting another poster's blatant lie!?
Don't play the sanctimonious arbiter or the wounded victim with me as you play neither part well.
You're even bearing false witness!
Good day.

You are so full of baloney. And once again prove what a jerk you are attack attack attack. A discussion of a purely hypothetical situation that I don’t think would happen, but for purposes of discussion assumed it did.

Your post is so dripping with venom that it makes zero sense.
It would be hilariously nonsensical if not so snotty.

Now you owe another apology, but instead, you’ll continue to be jerk and likely post some other snotty drivel.
