But, they aren’t so dumb to not see the “dead-stop” roadblocks that strategy has.
(1) If POTUS isn’t decided then Congress isn’t decided.
(2) POTUS is sworn in ~15 days AFTER Congress convenes.
(3) Pelosi won’t be Speaker. It will either be a Pubbie House or AOC will be voted speaker (bank).
So this is worse and worse for the Dems.
Let's say, New York and California deliberately screw up, and can't count the votes by the deadline.
Then the number of electors appointed is 535 - 55 (CA) - 29 (NY), which is 451.
That means Trump only has to get 226 to clinch the election, not 270.
Now look at 2016, ok? Trump got (call it) 306, biden 229. So Trump could LOSE 80 electoral votes and still win the election. Because a lot of Dem electors won't even have been appointed.
These people are STUPID.
"Government watchdogs, Democratic lawmakers, and pro-democracy advocates declared it a "Friday Night Massacre" for the U.S. Postal Service after news broke in a classic end-of-the-week dump that Louis DeJoy—a major GOP donor to President Donald Trump and the recently appointed Postmaster General—had issued a sweeping overhaul of the agency, including the ouster of top executives from key posts and the reshuffling of more than two dozen other officials and operational managers."
