put kennedy on the ballot
This is the second week in a row that Symone Sanders has exposed her, how shall we say this, unawareness of the facts.
You see what she got wrong here. Last week she claimed that Trump “promised carnage” in his inaugural address. In fact, he promised to STOP it!
She is an embarrassment. But would MSNBC dare remove her?
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
DEI. Unless Sanders or anyone else can name a SINGLE STATE that JFK or any other 3rd party can win, then either Trump or Biden’s people will get at least 270 EVs.
Good gawd! Can you imagine waking up next to that?!?
Whistling past the grave yard.
Last time I saw a chrome dome like that it had a hitch on it.
MSNBC has some of the dumbest news women. Not saying Symone is worse than ‘the View’ women - but she’s close.
The Founders imagined that this would happen all the time.
Therefore, they provided for it as they did for everything else.
Since the States appoint the President via their Electors, when no candidate has a majority of EVs, the House elects the President from among the top 3 candidates, WITH EACH STATE HAVING ONE VOTE. California = 1 vote, Wyoming, 1 vote.
In case the House cannot achieve a majority for a candidate, the Vice-President elect acts as President, chosen by the Senate from among the TOP TWO candidates, with each Senator having one vote and the President of the Senate there to break a tie, so there cannot be a tie and someone will be ready to serve on January 20.
People treat the Constitutional process as if it's a big problem, a "crisis" even - when it should be regarded as perfectly ordinary.
Easy solution to the problem. Why don’t they make a law that people can only vote for Democrats? Danger gone.
If Trump actually won those three states, the Electoral Votes would have been tied 270-270.
Biden received 1 EV from Nebraska. Biden won that Congressional District with 56% of the vote.
Trump received 1 EV from Maine. Trump won that Congressional District with 52.3% of the vote.
The 2020 election would have gone to the House of Representatives, where each state gets one vote.
In November 2020, the Republican Party had a majority Congressional delegation in 27 states.
The Democrats had a majority delegation in 23 states.
In theory, Trump would have won 27-23.
But, nothing is ever certain with Trump (or Conservatives) vs. RINOs.
the last third party candidate to win ANY electoral votes was George Wallace over half a century ago
Abolishing the EC system for a popular vote will give more political power to states that are ok with padding their popular vote totals with lax vote verification. The more corrupt the state’s government, the more padded their state’s popular vote will be. How long before an arms race of competitive fraud?
