Will it then be up to Speaker Johnson to do it?

How long are we gonna play this stupid game?

Until medical science finds a way to grow and transplant spines. And an assembly line arrangement made for the Republican Party.

Would not surprise me, but I think it more likely they will simply arrest Trump and fly him to Guantanamo. Then have a blue state Trump wins send an alternate delegation to vote for Kamala. Trump is Hitler and a Putin commie stooge of North Korea (odd combo that) and will need to be stopped by the deep state which of course will have all the evidence but cannot release it because it is an ongoing investigation and Trump is a flight risk so Guantanamo.

No, Dems are a win power and hold it at all cost. As for CW2, that is why Obama replaced military leadership with his butt boys. They will not hesitate to use force to put down “dissent”. Provided there is any.

Under this scenario, half of the Democrats in the senate and house would be arrested for treason, and this would make the sessions in congress … interesting

Even if I were anti-gun I would never support that woman taking away guns. Just like everything, she’d likely hand our guns over to the criminals in the name of equality

I think a lot of the ‘gloom and doomers’ are not really figuring on the effect of 4 years of Biden/Harris on American voters’ lives. They’ve been the worst administration I’ve ever seen.

I am feeling optimistic.

See the Electoral Count Reform Act of 2022.

The president of the Senate’s role is now formally limited to “ministerial duties.” The sitting vice president has “no power to solely determine, accept, reject, or otherwise adjudicate or resolve disputes over the proper list of electors, the validity of electors, or the votes of electors.”

No he is a co-conspirator and goes to Guantanamo too. They are both kept in 24/7 lockdown except for NY Times and Washington Post photographers being allowed to take pictures of him eat gruel with his fingers because he can’t have silverware because he is on suicide watch - which doesn’t keep him from hanging himself with his bed sheets after a visit by Hillary Clinton. Sadly the cameras weren’t working that night and neither were the guards. If you don’t buy that story there is plenty of room in Guantanamo for you now that they have released all the actual terrorists.

The Dems made a rule after j 6 that it cannot by law be left to the VP any longer

Not an issue per the Elmer Fudd dems

The answer to the question is simple...

If Kamala for WHATEVER reason decides to not certify, the electors must return to the state until that (those) state legislatures convene to confirm (certify) them as legitimately elected OR appoint new ones.

And realistically who is going to do this? The spineless Dem light GOP reps?

As long as our side controls the House and Senate we’ll be Ok. The senate looks like at least 55, and the House i see at about 240. After Jan 20, we can put AG Kash Patel to work arresting folks, including Garland, Smith, Comey, and a bunch or other criminals. This goes down to all the FBI agents involved in harassing, terrifying, and arresting citizens. Anyone know about any federal prisons in Alaska where these folks can have time to “cool” their heels while they wait for trial -make them feel what the bogus charged political prisoners of Jan 6 went through?

Good thing the VP (and the Congress) do not "certify" anything.

Any Federal judge can swear in Trump after 11:59 AM on 1/20/25, presuming the public counting of the votes gives him >270 OR, if the election has been sent to the House because of a tie or rejection of enough Electoral votes that no one has >270, that he has been elected by the House.

We are about to find out to what lengths they will go to hold onto power.

What happens if Harris refuses to certify the election if Trump wins.

She can't. Congress specifically changed the US Code Title 3 after J6 to make it clear that the VP cannot do this.

See 3 USC §15. Counting electoral votes in Congress:

(a) In General.-Congress shall be in session on the sixth day of January succeeding every meeting of the electors. The Senate and House of Representatives shall meet in the Hall of the House of Representatives at the hour of 1 o'clock in the afternoon on that day, and the President of the Senate shall be their presiding officer.

(b) Powers of the President of Senate.-

(1) Ministerial in nature.-Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, the role of the President of the Senate while presiding over the joint session shall be limited to performing solely ministerial duties.

(2) Powers explicitly denied.-The President of the Senate shall have no power to solely determine, accept, reject, or otherwise adjudicate or resolve disputes over the proper certificate of ascertainment of appointment of electors, the validity of electors, or the votes of electors.

For one thing, we'd know she has more intestinal fortitude than Mike Pence does.

THEY have already started such-—

THE BIDEN DOD has gutted the POSSE COMATITUS ACT OF 1878.

They intend to use FEDERAL TROOPS against us all.
