“If a state does not certify to Congress by that date the votes do not count and Hillary wins.”
Huh?
Hillary would have to win the majority of the electors sitting, and Trump would still have a majority, since 270 would no longer be the winning number.
Nope. If she does not get 270 votes, then the House of Representatives decides the election - by law. However, i am surprised that a Trump Representative hasn’t had a Tarmac meeting with the Clinton’s to point out that Trump will have a huge microscope after January 20th, and that he will be able to give them a huge colonoscopy up their rears if they don’t stop it. No telling how many polyps are there.
So if the recount is not completed by 12/13 the voters in those states would be disenfranchised. All those votes would be nullified. They may as well have not bothered to vote in this election, nor in any other future election for that matter if this absurd recount is permitted.
This scheme effectively destroys our election process and democracy.
No, if for some reason these electoral votes don’t count (highly unlikely), Hillary still does not get to 270. If neither has 270, it goes to House of Representatives and Trump wins.
Because MI, WI and PA will be null and void, giving Hillary more EVs than Trump, I’m presuming, without actually doing the math.
I think Ryan wins if it goes to the house of representatives.
Wrong!
