the RINOs have always rushed to concede. except for GWB for some reason. (perhaps the establishment did not detect enough corruption from him)

Romney, who judge congratulated, probably was screwed the same way but he just gave up.

The law in pennsylvania states the popular vote determines, per the penn senate pres. It was done to specifically prevent that. (and keep the machine happy)

“‘Even after certification state legislatures can seat whomever they want as electors.’

actually, no, they cannot...”

You might want to re-read Article 2 Section 1 Paragraph 2: “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.”

That doesn’t seem to indicate they cannot.

Has any election result of any state been certified by their Secretary of State yet? A biased media has no authority to proclaim winners and losers.

“How much authority do you think he has to unilaterally issue orders to state governments?”

Under 52 US Code Section 20511 (Federal Elections Fraud Law) and 18 US Code Section 242 (Federal Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law - in this case the Right to a free and fair election) President Trump would have had fully delineated Congressional authority under existing Federal Law to have done so. He was duty-bound to have done so, yet didn’t.

He needs the evidence of that first.

By what means do you suggest he implements this?

“Dumb post. Yeah arresting governors would have really helped him politically.”

Wouldn’t have helped him politically?

How well did failing to do so help him?
Keep in mind that in 1957, President Eisenhower was fully ready to have Arkansas Governor Faubus arrested by the NG if Faubus continued to prevent the Little Rock Nine from attending Little Rock Central HS.

Now we may be stuck with a Biden Presidency - and possibly the end of our Republic (short of a 2nd American Revolution).

"[Donald Trump] should not concede under any circumstances, because I think this is going to drag out, and eventually I do believe he will win if we don't give an inch, and if we are as focused and relentless as the other side is." -- Hillary Clinton (8/26/2020)

Anyone -- Democrat OR Republican -- who wants Donald J. Trump to capitulate on this should take this quote and stuff it up their @sses.

Yes, Hillary was talking about Biden, not Trump ... but don't let anyone complain when Trump follows HER game plan here.

The “evidence” in terms of the mass mailed ballots is simple - per Article 1 Section 4 of the US Constitution the power to determine the manner and places of elections within a State is granted exclusively to the Legislature of that State - not the Governor. The state level EO’s for mail in ballots therefore clearly violated the US Constitution.
The evidence of Deprivation of Rights comes in the form of elections officials actively blocking designated GOP poll watchers during the election and observers during the ballot counting process.

“That doesn’t seem to indicate they cannot.”

What part of “in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct” wasn’t clear?

didn’t Trump appoint Pence after 2016 election to head a committee or something on voter fraud?

The Legislature is at liberty to direct the appointments. Seems to me that they can call for new appointments at will.

I’m wondering why you put “evidence” in scare quotes. What means are you thinking must be executed?

Time for those big talking, no action “threeper” and “oath keeper” groups to step up, but they won’t, because they nothing but hot air, pizza and paintballs.

That investigation was shut down after the Democrats (and many establishment Republicans) cried fowl.
Now we will pay for that surrender........
If Biden is put in office, at least Barr’s and Durham’s failure/refusal to root out corruption within the DOJ/FBI will likely get them what’s coming to them from the Dem’s revenge.
