Top House Democrats are refusing to say if they will certify the results of the 2024 presidential election if former President Donald Trump wins this November.
The member signaled to Axios that Trump may cause issues with the vote.
Jim McGovern (D-MA), the ranking member of the Rules Committee, said Democrats would certify a Trump victory “assuming everything goes the way we expect it to.”
“We have to see how it all happens,” McGovern said.

Now, but will the Republicans control the House on Jan 6? The new congress convenes on Jan 3.
Wait.
Isn’t that like an insurrection??????
The people will certify it.
Bingo! Big talk from these pols. They will roll over after pressure from “we the people”.
If they act in this manner, I shall have to go magnet-fishing for the guns I lost in that tragic boating accident.
If he tries this, I'd be all for a mob coming and dragging him through the streets by his testicles.
The Founders wouldn't have tolerated this.
Pence KNEW there was obvious, rampant, decisive cheating that effected the steal and gave us four years of Biden ruin, but he was too cowardly to do his constitutional job.
He will go down in history as one of the biggest jerks and cowards ever to claim human-being status
"Top House Dems Suggest They Won’t Certify [??? emphasis added] Election If Trump Wins "
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Democratic and Republican Trump supporters, regarding Congress's so-called certification of electoral vote counts, we're once again being played by desperate, elite Democrats, and RINOs who support Democrats in their smoke and mirrors deceptive certification imo.
Democrats Have Objected to Electoral Vote Certification For the Last 3 GOP Presidents (1.1.21)
More specifically, 12th Amendment (12A) electoral vote rules require only the very small number official constitutional electors in each state who meet to vote to make separate lists of vote totals for each candidate for POTUS and VP. Electors are then required to sign and certify the lists before sealing them and transmitting them in an unbroken chain of custody to Office of VP.
"12th Amendment: The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President [all emphases added], 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;--The President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted;--The person having the greatest number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed; and if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President. But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote; a quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two- thirds of the states, and a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice. And if the House of Representatives shall not choose a President whenever the right of choice shall devolve upon them, before the fourth day of March next following, then the Vice-President shall act as President, as in the case of the death or other constitutional disability of the President. --The person having the greatest number of votes as Vice-President, shall be the Vice-President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed, and if no person have a majority, then from the two highest numbers on the list, the Senate shall choose the Vice-President; a quorum for the purpose shall consist of two-thirds of the whole number of Senators, and a majority of the whole number shall be necessary to a choice. But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States."
But more importantly concerning federal Democrats suggesting that they won't certify election, there is no 12A requirement for Congress to certify anything about the counting of votes. The Twelfth Amendment requires Congress, originally a much smaller group than it is now, to basically witness the counting of votes imo.
In other words, Democrats, and RINOs who never speak up about 12A, are playing us, Congress arguably interfering with an election with constitutionally indefensible certification by corrupt, constitutionally undefined political parties.
Since Congress and likewise renegade states have repeatedly proven that they are enemies of the people imo, it is now up to Democratic and Republican Trump supporters to effectively "impeach and remove" ALL (exceptions?) state and federal lawmakers and executives in November.
In fact, it's up to us Trump supporters to take the first MAJOR step in draining the swamp by supporting hopeful Trump 47 with a new, Constitution-respecting Congress, new state lawmakers too, not only so that he will not be a lame duck president from the first day of his second term, but will support him to quickly finish draining the swamp.
Finally, let's not allow the anti-Trump media try to fade our memories of what we witnessed on July 13.
Down the Memory Hole: Google Hides Autocomplete Suggestions Related to Trump Assassination Attempt (7.28.24)
So they can be charged with trying to overturn the election results?
Jamie Raskin is the one behind this. He’s an evil one.
“assuming everything goes the way we expect it to.”
Evidence of the fix right here.“
Winner, winner - Chicken dinner!
Thats how I read that statement.
“Will the GOP-controlled House do anything about it other than issue a strongly-worded letter written on tissue paper?”

Within the realm of what’s politically and legally possible, what would you suggest they do?
YOU WILL BE GETTING THE SAME DOSE OF TREATMENT BUT WILL SLIGHTLY MORE HUMANE THAN YOUR A$$€$ WERE TO OUR PEOPLE !!!
And We will be Legaly Charging You, by the LAW...
Put that in your Crack Pipe and smoke it !!!
Who's job is it anyway?
I suspect the Dems will attempt lawfare regarding the certification process... specifically the “President of the Senate” clause.
Imagine Biden resigns. Kamala becomes President. There is no VP.
Congressional certification specifically requires the President of the Senate to oversee the process.
The President of the Senate is defined, in the Constitution as the VP.
Now there is a position called the President Pro Tempory who presides in the absence of a VP. Which would certainly be the case.
HOWEVER...
It is never defined that the President Pro Tempory ever becomes “the President of the Senate”.
Would the left try to claim a Constitutional Crisis and delay the certification process until, to them, a legally defined President of the Senate is approved?
"...yes, could you tell us just what, exactly, the expectation is?"
I see those 3 sixes in that poster.
All these little details just baffle the Dems...
Imagine Biden resigns/dies...
