Pennsylvania & Georgia have taken formal votes to send Electors for President Trump, giving rise to a potential scenario of "dueling slates of Electors."Down-pointing red triangle
(Excerpt) Read more at twitter.com ...
So any prospect of MI and/or WI doing so? Though just flipping those 3 makes it 279-259 Trump.
MI is worth 16 more and WI, 10.
How many divisions do they have?
“Pennsylvania & Georgia have taken formal votes to send Electors for President Trump, giving rise to a potential scenario of “dueling slates of Electors.”
That’s a lie.
The full legislatures have not even taken such a vote, much less passed it.
These are not legal votes representing the subject states.
The way the process works is that the governor creates Certificates of Ascertainment, and those accompany the electoral votes to the National Archives. Without those certificates, the votes are invalid. The National Archives then sends the votes to Congress to be counted.
That would take Creepy Joe Biden from 306 down down to 266 and bunp President Trump from 232 to 272 for the win!
God bless these patriots.
I read that they’re being/have been threatened...by their own SOS, etc.
If a state sends two slates of electors, the president of the Senate (VP Pence) may decide which slate to accept. This is one way in which Trump can be re-elected on January 6th. All it would take is for Pence to select the Trump electors in contested states where he believes vote fraud took place. But as I understand it, Pence doesn't even really need a reason. If he has two slates presented from a given slate, he can arbitrarily choose to accept one slate over the other.
Of course, this would be quite a ballsy move on Pence's part and it would send shock waves through the nation. But apparently Pence would be on solid Constitutional ground. And speaking of ballsy, that would not be half as ballsy as the Dems blatant cheating this election cycle.
And if the Dems decide to appeal to SCOTUS, well SCOTUS already made quite plain last week that they have no interest in intervening in state elections.
So in a way, whether unintended or not, the SCOTUS decision on Friday that demoralized so many of us could well be the key to a Trump re-election on Jan 6.
Fascinating times we live in.
All I see from Arizona is the electors voted for slojoe.
The Electors Clause makes that law Unconstitutional.
What a call that'd be!
That's all VP need even say/explain, if he does this.....that he IS RIGHTING THE WRONG....the proven, blatant FRAUD committed by these states, and their leadership.
Then....turn, and walk away.
And if the Dems decide to appeal to SCOTUS, well SCOTUS already made quite plain last week that they have no interest in intervening in state elections.
Roger that!!
Who says?
"Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another State conducts its elections,"
REPUBLICAN ELECTORS CAST PROCEDURAL VOTE, SEEK TO PRESERVE TRUMP CAMPAIGN LEGAL CHALLENGE
December 14, 2020 Filed in News
Harrisburg, PA – At the request of the Trump campaign, the Republican presidential electors met today in Harrisburg to cast a conditional vote for Donald Trump and Mike Pence for President and Vice President respectively.
“We took this procedural vote to preserve any legal claims that may be presented going forward” said Bernie Comfort, Pennsylvania Chair of the Trump campaign. “This was in no way an effort to usurp or contest the will of the Pennsylvania voters.”
Today’s move by Republican party electors is fashioned after the 1960 Presidential election, in which President Nixon was declared the winner in Hawaii. While Democrat legal challenges were pending, Democratic presidential electors met to cast a conditional vote for John F. Kennedy to preserve their intent in the event of future favorable legal outcomes.
The conditional resolution states that electors certify their vote for the President and Vice President “on the understanding that if, as a result of a final non-appealable Court Order or other proceeding prescribed by law, [they] are ultimately recognized as being the duly elected and qualified Electors for President and Vice President of the United States of America from the State of Pennsylvania…”

With all the knives in the president’s back, it wouldn’t shock me if Pence added his.
Time to put Pence in an undisclosed location.
Scenario is split Electoral slate dovetails with Sidney Powell’s Emergency SCOTUS petition for Writ of Mandamus whuch prevails allowing EITHER Electoral Votes to go for Trump OR neither candidate garnering 270/+, the election is determined by a majority of 50 state delegations in the House of Representatives.
And these electors get their authority from whom?
So, the federal courts can cancel these competing slates? That makes this an uphill battle.
