BUMP to the top... come on Freepers!!!!!!!!
Most of the GOP Senators are Bush League Republicans who want Trump gone as much as the Democrats.
I’m guessing my junior Senator, Kamala Harris, isn’t going to sign on. And my senior Senator is pretty busy hosting a Chinese spy den in her office.
I understand thaat each state gets only one vote in this instance according to the Constitution.
So theoretically Trump would win if the states favorable to Trump were united eg 26 votes.
Here is a good sampling of how Democrats complained in 2004 even as recently as 2012 about Republicans using computers to control the outcome of elections and the media acting like it was a credible concern
Ohio Diebold Machines 2004 Presidential election

But Aviel D. Rubin, a professor of computer science at Johns Hopkins University, said the relatively smooth election should not be taken as a green light for electronic voting.
“It is like asking a surgeon who states that a particular medical procedure is risky whether he might change his opinion because there was a successful operation using that procedure somewhere in the world,” Professor Rubin said.
Lack of a paper trail has helped feed rumors of fraud, said David L. Dill, a computer science professor at Stanford University. Without the “safety net” of voter verification, voting technology “has to be near perfect,” he said.

To skeptics, this episode highlights one of the main ways the election was stolen: by manipulating the computers that recorded and tabulated ballots. According to the Free Press, 15 percent of Ohio’s ballots—a number seven times greater than Bush’s victory margin—were cast on electronic machines provided or programmed by companies with ties to the Republican Party, including Triad. True, a limited hand recount was held afterward, but it was a sham, the skeptics argue. They point to the indictment this past September of two Cuyahoga County election officials for offenses that include failing to randomly select the recount precincts. Eaton made a similar accusation in her county—and, as if to clinch the case, was later fired. When her affidavit was posted at one of the websites claiming that Bush stole Ohio, one blogger commented, “This speaks for itself.”
2012 Atlantic article
Romney-bundlers, voting machines, Ohio—it rekindles a perennial fear of voting fraud burned into the brains of Democrats. And that’s thanks to a company called Diebold. For those unfamiliar with Diebold, it’s a voting machine manufacturer and back in 2004 (when Kerry lost!) its CEO, Walden O’Dell, had written a letter to George Bush and Republicans about Ohio’s votes. O’Dell wrote that he was “committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president.” And during 2004’s election, Bush carried the state by more than 100,000 votes, even though exit polling showed Kerry winning. And a conspiracy theory was born. Fast-forward eight years later and election this close, and you can see why Salon is freaking out and Breitbart is telling everyone to chill out. “For the moment, at least, the Hart story is only some intriguingly connected dots,” writes Turque. Hmmm, let’s see how that goes over in about two weeks.
We should. I did.
The message should be. Your silence by not taking steps to protect my vote against this sham of an election, means my vote must not mean much to you. That is why you will never get my vote, it’s obvious a vote means very little to you.
So theoretically Trump would win if the states favorable to Trump were united eg 26 votes.
No, that is not true.
When voting on an objection to a state's Electoral vote, each person in each house gets one vote, and it takes a majority of those present to reject the Electoral votes. Which means up to 218 votes in the House, and 51 votes in the Senate. (Depending on the quorum present.)
If enough Electoral votes are rejected such that neither candidate reaches 270 votes, THEN the House votes for President, with one vote per state, and the Senate votes for Vice President, one vote per state.
You skipped a lot of steps before you get to one vote per state.
Rubio is up in 2022; Scott in 2024.
Rubio campaigned as a conservative and even made it to Mark Levin’s radio show. Scott was a great governor.
Through their upcoming actions on January 6th, both have the opportunity to either cement or discard my vote.
Yeah, I’m done with the swamp too. No more Bushes, McCains or Romneys. President Trump showed the way.
Rubio has flip flopped quite a bit, but he’s on target more than not. Scott changed a lot when he went to the senate. Florida’s a red state for the most part, and I think Scott just went along with what the legislature sent him. He pulled some anti-gun BS before he left office that pissed off a lot of us.
To the Honorable ...I will be succinct. I am a registered Republican Floridian. If you do not make a stand with President Trump against this blatantly stolen election and you quietly allow an illegitimate President to be installed in the White House through fraud, I will NOT support you in your next re-election bid. I will support your primary challenger, and I will not vote for you in the general if you survive the primary.
There is no room anymore for Republican cowards; our nation is in peril. When this election comes before you in Congress, contest it. Do the right thing, be courageous. Be worthy of our votes.
fax goes directly into their machines. try that and include the fact that we won’t forget pussilanimity
