Exactly. And the Trump people still have just over three weeks to further document the vote fraud that went on. In my opinion, the fraud is already established beyond a reasonable doubt. But nothing wrong with piling on.

That is the January 6th count. Not today’s electoral college fiasco.

I think they are like a ‘stop the vote’ measure until all legal battles are finished. Once the legal battles are over they can pull them back.

The problem, as I understand it, is as follows:

1 - if competing slates, Senate and House meet separately to determine which to accept.
2 - if they agree, that particular slate counts
3 - (presuming we keep Senate) if Senate and House vote differently, the nod goes to the Governor’s slate if it was certified in the safe harbor period

If someone knows more, let me know. It appears that SCOTUS may be asked the throw out safe harbor because of the massive fraud. Will they do it?

"The way the process works is that the governor creates Certificates of Ascertainment, and those accompany the electoral votes to the National Archives. Without those certificates, the votes are invalid. The National Archives then sends the votes to Congress to be counted."

Not true, The U.S. Constitution makes no mention of States governors, Certificates of Ascertainment, or the National Register. None at all These are actually only laws passed by Congress and they are not Amendments to the US Constitution. No legislature i.e. the House and the Senate, are bound by laws that are not in the Constitution, they can vote under the rules outlined in the Constitution and ignore any laws passed by prior Congresses. Here are the laws passed by Congress that your opinion rests on. In accordance with 3 U.S.C. §§ 6-14 and the Electoral Count Act a certificate of ascertainment is an official document that identifies the appointed electors and final vote count for each candidate that received electoral votes in a presidential election, submitted after an election by the governor of each state to the Archivist of the United States and others.

Article 2 - The Executive Branch
Section 1 - The President

The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years, and, together with the Vice-President chosen for the same Term, be elected, as follows:

Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.

12th Amendment
The Electors shall meet in their respective States, and vote by Ballot for two persons, of whom one at least shall not lie an Inhabitant of the same State with themselves. And they shall make a List of all the Persons voted for, and of the Number of Votes for each; which List 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 shall be the President, if such Number be a Majority of the whole Number of Electors appointed; and if there be more than one who have such Majority, and have an equal Number of Votes, then the House of Representatives shall immediately chuse by Ballot one of them for President; and if no Person have a Majority, then from the five highest on the List the said House shall in like Manner chuse the President. But in chusing 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. In every Case, after the Choice of the President, the Person having the greatest Number of Votes of the Electors shall be the Vice President. But if there should remain two or more who have equal Votes, the Senate shall chuse from them by Ballot the Vice-President.

Again, the U.S. Constitution makes no mention of States governors, Certificates of Ascertainment, or the National Register. None at all.

Time to put Pence in an undisclosed location.

VPOTUS is a very important man if the competing slates of delegates strategy is to work. It will be challenged somehow at SCOTUS if successful. At present, my biggest concern are the RINO's like Romney and Hawley who have been hostile to Trump. If the Georgia runoff is held as scheduled on Jan. 6, then those two senators could determine the result. The people of GA need to demand that they support Trump's slate of electors BEFORE that election.

This is in accordance with the US Constitution.

Doesn't the Constitution say that each state "shall appoint, in such manner as the Legislature thereof may direct" the electors? When did the legislature in any of these states vote to seat these slates of electors?

There are enough RINOs that Trump could be stabbed in the back by more than just Romney.

True. Won’t be Hawley. Maybe Manchin will finally make the leap to the right and start voting with us.

With all the knives in the president’s back, it wouldn’t shock me if Pence added his.

Pence caved to the pillow-biter lobby while governor of Indiana. He won't stand up now. He's not the patriot we're looking for.
