I think I see what he’s getting at.

Having one less state due to Arizona decertifying means there are 49 states, not 50.

The -United- States are 50 states, not 49.

Except one needs 270 electoral votes to win (or 269 to lose)

306 biden, 232 Trump; 38 needed by Trump to get to 270.

AZ 11 EV, GA 16 EV, PA 20 EV, WI 10 EV, MI 16 EV, NV 6 EV; the 6 “swing states”.

AZ plus two of the other states (except NV) listed would do it.

Interesting again...is 270 the number or is it a majority of electors appointed?

12th amendment

“...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;”

If AZ decertifies (if they can even do that, and if they do, does it even matter), does the electoral count now go down to 527? then the majority is not 270 but 264. Pres. Biden goes from 306 to 295.
The math for the rest. 538-79 = 459 /2= 229.5 so 230 needed for a majority. Seems all those swing states would have to decertify.

or would those states get to recertify with electors appointed for Pres. Trump?
or is it too late to decert/re-appoint electors?
or would it get to SCOTUS? only to be declared moot?
or would SCOTUS have the cajones to declare the election null & void ?

Look at how long it’s taken to get to this point with the Arizona audit.
by the time the rest of the audits could take place, being fought tooth and nail by the RATs, and then any of this could get sorted out, the 2024 election will have come and gone...

what other options have I missed that could apply?
what assumptions am I making that are factually wrong?

Have a valued tee-off time...catch ya on the flip\flop
