That’s the way modern propaganda flows, Dude! The fourth estate has gladly transmogrified itself into the fifth column for the enemies of this We The People Republic.

Placemarker ... got to try this sometime today! Thanks for the instructions.

It is easily provable that the specific targeted cities in the swing states ALL stopped their counting at approximately the same time. In Atlanta, Georgia an excuse was floated that it was due to a burst pipe in the counting building )it was an over flowing urinal).

Thank you for that post.

Insert Milwaukke, instead of the borader more able to be dissembled Wisconsin. Same with Michigan, use Detroit. Most of Michigan went to Trump. Same in Pennsylvania, the fraud was perpetrated in Philly and Pittsnurg. In Gelrogia it was the Atlanta area counties. In Arizona it was Maricopa county.

In my opinion though, the fraud producing algorithm was a nationwide phenomenon through the software program used by several different machines.

"Prediction: Mastriano will be our rock star and run or Toomey’s Senate seat. he’ll lose to Conor Lamb. Not pretty enough."

While that's true now, his bantam rooster optix could be polished up, as could replacing his scriptwriter. I would gladly help him roast some Lamb.

Thanks - that IS encouraging.

I think the delegation of elector selection authority by state legislatures to state voters should be completely revocable under these circumstances.

In fact, under these circumstances, it is their moral obligation to do so. Knowing that this fraud took place, and not exercising their powers to stop it, would essentially make them complicit in the fraud.

Federal law requires retention of ballots and signatures (images) for 22 months. Some precincts in Milwaukee, Detroit, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Phoenix and Las Vegas may not be able to comply and risk disqualification. pic.twitter.com/tDKlAZifMv— Alfred (@ImagesMD) November 27, 2020

“I see no other path forward unless somehow the vote fraud in the large Democrat run cities can be brought under control which seems very unlikely at this point.”

And for the foreseeable future.

I believe Mastriano said they are going to use the vehicle of a “resolution” rather than a “bill” because then the governor doesn’t get to veto.

---

The problem being that a "resolution" give a sense of what the legislature wants but has no effect in law. State law, as created by the legislature, lays out how electors are chosen. If they want to change things they'll have to pass a new law.

[Boise3981]

My understanding of the Constitution is that the power to select electors resides with the legislature. They’re being wise with how they do this.

---

The Supreme Court has *repeatedly* ruled that references to the state "legislature" means the legislative process - including a governor's signature and judicial review. Further, the state constitution (created by the legislature) sets forth the process of creating new law and that requires a governor's signature. Even if you say the legislature is in charge, they already created the process for changing the law and it includes a governor's signature (or veto override). Anyone telling you that the legislature can do this without the governor (or at least without overriding a veto) is lying or uninformed.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday summoned Republican members of the Pennsylvania legislature to the White House

I doubt it. I think the truth is that he INVITED them to the White House.

Priceless, LOL!!!

:-D

[Svartalfiar]

Ludicrous. As if Wolf would sign the bill or Dems would go along to override the veto.

Wolf would not be involved, and no veto override is needed. The Constitution gives the power to the State legislature, not to the State lawmaking process. The Legislature can do it entirely on their own.

[Svartalfiar]

Legislation in PA requires the governor's signature before it becomes law.

This isn't lawmaking, it's the legislature fulfilling Constitutional duties. PA may not recognize it as law, but on the Federal side it's recognized and Constitutionally legal.

[semimojo]

The Constitution gives the power to the State legislature, not to the State lawmaking process.

So far SCOTUS has disagreed with you.
