Pelosi warns Trump 'ain't no light at the end of the tunnel' should election be decided in House

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi spelled out a dire prediction for President Trump should the election come down to the House to be decided.

“We have all sorts of opportunities to take down that one vote,” Pelosi said during a news conference Thursday morning. “There ain’t no light at the end of the tunnel for you in the House of Representatives,” she added, referring to Trump.

In the case of an Electoral College deadlock or if no candidate receives a majority of the votes, a “contingent election” is held, and the results are decided in the House, according to the 12th Amendment. Each House state delegation votes as a whole for one candidate, rather than a vote from each representative. What candidate receives the vote is determined by the tallies of each representative within the delegation.

So, the Gensec would be decided by the Politburo?

I mean that’s what it would be...

Folks I can’t stress this enough.
The 1st week of November is going to be a s—tstorm. Stock up on supplies now and take vacation from work. I took that entire week off from work.

Be warned of this: The House chooses which electoral votes it counts. Competing state slates have been presented before. The House could just throw out Trump votes.

If senile Biden doesn’t get elected, she’ll never sit in the oval office.

Heard a constitutional law professor on our local talk station and I thought it sounded encouraging. Yes, house of representatives is controlled by Democrat’s but in a presidential vote/election in h of r, each state only gets one vote. Republicans are outnumbered in representatives but there are more states with Republican majority delegations. I’m sure there are other factors to consider, but I thought this was post worthy.

The House had better follow the constitution, or it goes to the Supreme Court or Trump declares himself winner. There is NO WAY Trump accepts some trumped up vote in the House that doesn't follow the one state one vote rule.
The old hag Pelosi, who has never come close to fighting a war in her life, is rapidly backing herself into a corner.

26 states Republican majority, 2 tied and 23 states Dem majority. Trump still wins.

Well since she handled the impeachment SO well, it’s only a matter of precisely HOW this is going to blow-up in her face.

“There ain’t no light at the end of the tunnel for you in the House of Representatives,”

Reminds me of how aborted babies will never see the light of day, right, Nancy?

Cram it, you old crone.

And why would Trump accept that nonsense?

She broke every rule in her sham impeachment and still ended up losing. Trump is still in power.

Nancy Pelosi thinks that Democrats will increase their majority in the House of Representatives so that the new House votes for President if there is a legal dispute in the electoral college. Does anybody know the deadlines if there is a dispute in selecting the electoral college?

The House will avoid the one-state one vote rule by certifying 270 Biden votes including any necessary illegitimate competing electoral slates.
