ELECTORAL COLLEGE MEETS TODAY
Star Tribune ^ | December 13, 2004

Posted on 12/13/2004 3:52:17 AM PST by West Coast Conservative

Barring unforeseen (and astonishing) developments, President Bush will take a step closer to reelection today as the 538 presidential electors meet in each of the state capitals and the District of Columbia. The electors will fill out ballots, which will be sealed in an envelope from each state and sent to Washington, to be opened on Jan. 6 by the president of the Senate, who will read the results before both houses of Congress. The swearing-in of the new (or, in this case, reelected) president will occur at noon on inauguration day, Jan. 20.

Four more years and therapy for the Rats who can't accept the truth.

Doesn't this make any recount efforts in Ohio meaningless?

Yep, unless you think a Republican dominated House could be swayed by these Rat Recount efforts.

The lack of enough contested ballots to affect the outcome of the vote in Ohio is what made the recount efforts there meaningless. Unfortunately for DummyRats, "math is hard".

One of Gore's electors did not vote for him in 2000. Think that more Rats will try to become a fifth column in the electorial college over time?

I got a letter from an old friend who lives in Ohio that I haven't had contact with in years the other day. It turns out she's been in a major depression since November 3 and may need therapy (her words).

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Much as we disliked Clinton, I didn't feel the need for therapy. But then again, in the later years of his presidency, we had FR to help us deal with it. LOL

It give ammunition to an impeachment effort if they can get even a hint of voter fraud (from either side).

You do understand that evidence of voter fraud by dems is PROOF that Karl Rove planted it to cover Republican fraud!

I think one Republican Elector in West Virginia will vote for a Republican write-in candidate for President. I can't remember his name, but he lost in 2002 in the race for the Reublican nomination for Governor of W.Va., he disagrees with Bush on the war in Iraq.

is it true that the rats are filing a major lawsuit today ?

Even the Supreme Court is powerless after today. The House has sole authority to resolve any disputes.

I wonder if the DUmmies successfully converted 18 Bush electors to vote for Kerry. *bites nails in nervous anticipation*
