The fact that very few Americans understand these facts and that the enemedia itself does not understand them is a testament to the success the left has had in (a) selectively controlling the curricula for every local K-12 system in every state, and the education of teachers as well, for the past fifty years, and (b) orchestrating a constant drumbeat of opposition to the Electoral College every time an election year turns up. It started with the children. Now we have a populace composed of multiple generations of adults having zero civic awareness. Add to it the willful ignorance of recent arrivals from Puerto Rico, the Caribbean, Middle East, Africa, and South America, and you have a stew of chaotic proportions. No wonder our elections are off the rails.

"In the House of Representatives, state delegations will be voting, not the individual congressmen themselves. Now in the House of Representatives, the majority of delegations – 26 – belong to Republicans. In the Senate, the Republicans also have an advantage. So, the only reason Trump can lose the election now, a week after the election, is his own admission of defeat."

This is contingent on the state delegations having the political will to do the right thing in the face of "popular vote" agitprop. They will need to be prepared to resist an onslaught of attacks painting them as tyrants and usurpers who denied the "will of the people," and ready to explain clearly and forcefully why that is not so. They will need to be prepared to stand strong as riots and not so peaceful protests erupt in their states and in their districts. They may even individually be targeted by the left.

I'm sure there are some GOP reps willing to make this stand. The question really boils down to, "will there be enough?"

Once upon a time, US Senators were also chosen by state legislators.

US Reps are really the only ones who are supposed to be chosen by the mob.

For the legislators of a state to pick electors contrary to the certified popular vote would take immense courage, regardless of the obvious fraud. There are many fronts in this Ballot Battle, legal and psychological.

Hoping the hand recount in GA will show how off things are. If he flips that state dems may panic a little. I just didn’t see Trump losing that state.

The electors are appointed by the state legislatures, and they are the ones who elect the President of the country.

Electors are chosen by the state legislatures in each election.
The electors are "appointed" through a fixed formula.

Article II Section 1 Clause 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.Distribution of Electoral VotesElectoral votes are allocated among the States based on the Census. Every State is allocated a number of votes equal to the number of senators and representatives in its U.S. Congressional delegation—two votes for its senators in the U.S. Senate plus a number of votes equal to the number of its Congressional districts.
Under the 23rd Amendment of the Constitution, the District of Columbia is allocated three electors and treated like a State for purposes of the Electoral College.
Legal Provisions Relevant to the Electoral College ProcessTITLE 3, Chapter 1, § 3.
Number of electors
§ 3. The number of electors shall be equal to the number of Senators and Representatives to which the several States are by law entitled at the time when the President and Vice President to be chosen come into office; except, that where no apportionment of Representatives has been made after any enumeration, at the time of choosing electors, the number of electors shall be according to the then existing apportionment of Senators and Representatives.

The article should read...
The electors are appointed chosen by the state legislatures, and they are the ones who elect the President of the country.

To illustrate my point...
The State of "X" is appointed 3 electors. The State of "X" chooses Mr. Brown, Mr. Smith and Mr. Jones as electors for this election.

As a further example of the misrepresentation done in the article, consider what happens if Puerto Rico or some other territory were to be given statehood. The number of "appointed" electors would go up based on the formula mentioned above.

If the laws in America are not followed, then the great American political experiment will unfortunately end.

It's already happening, when Dem cities are allowing rioters to trash public and private property without lawful recourse, we're allowing and encouraging lawbreaking.

If Biden can declare himself President-elect without any legal basis, then any other American citizen can also declare himself President-elect.


Agreed.

Signed,

President Elect joshua_c
