"It will be the thing, I believe, that will formally elect Donald Trump to be the next president of the United States," said Steve Bannon
Though chances are slim and the final electoral count is still pending, a little-known provision of the U.S. Constitution provides an opening for President Trump to possibly salvage victory through what's known as a "contingent election."
Under the 12th Amendment, in a contingent election one person does not win a majority of Electoral College votes, and the election is thrown to the U.S. House of Representatives. There, each state's delegation has one vote, and a candidate must receive the votes of a majority of state delegations to win. Because of the timing, the new Congress is the one that decides, not the outgoing one.
Though final makeup of the incoming House is still in flux due to ongoing ballot counting, the gap is wide enough to know there definitely will be more Democrats overall, but there will also definitely be more state delegations with a majority of delegates who are Republican. For example, although population-heavy California and New York have large, predominantly Democratic representation in the House, each state would receive just the same, single vote assigned to lower-populated Republican-led states like Wyoming or South Dakota. This would likely ensure a Republican majority vote in the House for Trump over rival Joe Biden.

No. He’d like to, but even a Yertle-led/Minion majority senate will not confirm a packing scheme. And to get that far they have to steal two more races.
Jokes on them. Looters and shooters are coming out either way. They know the left will never stop feeding into their tantrums.
It gets to that point, we better start shooting back.
How would President Pelosi allow such a thing?/S
i beleive it has to pass both house and senate to change the number? Not sure-
Dream on
Electoral count is still pending,mega suprise?.
Or a Fantasy category.
Afraid so.
I believe this is plan A, get the election thrown into the House, where we have the majority of delgates.
Well, it is a lot to ask the GOPe to grow a pair, but this is a very interesting idea.
I am a lawyer and happen to have my Con Law book right next to me. I’m going to look it up! :)
Take care, FRiend.

Not a single vote has been certified.
Not one.
Can we stop with the hypothetical stuff until there is reason to think about it?
The majority of the country does not want to be liberal. They are jamming this down our throats, even if we reject their Big Government take over.
If the GOP wins both GA seats AND all contested House races remaining go GOP, and no members of Congress are absent on January 6, there will be 270 Democrats and 265 Republicans on the floor.
Makes one wonder why every future presidential election will not be "contingent", with the final result determined in the Congress as originally intended by the Founders...Perhaps that is our future, if we can't stop the fraud. And, of course, Congressional elections are subject to fraud as well...It is possible we have reached a point where digitally managed "fair" elections are highly improbable.
I am guessing that the courts will rule in favor of Trump and the legislatures will enforce that ruling.
There is another backstop. The Supreme Court could rule that Biden/dems committed election fraud and Biden is disqualified.
I think it will be the former and will show the massive election fraud that was perpetrated by the dems. Many, many dems will be caught up in a set of criminal conspiracies.
if bi somehow gets in, the GOP and patriot citizens *MUST*
- Immediately begin election corruption hearings
- Hit EVERY EO, no matter how small, with dozens of suits
- Hit EVERY attempt to overturn a Trump EO with dozens of lawsuits
- Hit EVERY attempt to even do an admin change
- Stop every bill no matter how small cold
- Stop every SCOTUS appt.
- Begin THOUSANDS of corruption lawsuits and start new ones EVERY DAY
- Hang EVERY American death of ANYTHING anywhere in the world at his door
- Go after the whore’s sordid past, using FOIA and every tool available against an elected official until she is hounded out of office.
IOW, take EVERY SINGLE TACTIC the dems “taught” us for the last 4 years a put it on steroids.
SCORTCHED EARTH.
Do not worry for the USA. It will keep barrelling along.
But I pray this will not be needed.
The Supreme Court could rule that Biden/dems committed election fraud and Biden is disqualified.
The Supreme Court has no such authority.
