You *have* seen “Rachel” Levine, right?
:D
I just found this, hope it’s true.
That's not what the 12th says.
This is the pertinent text:
--the person having the greatest number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of electors appointed; and if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President. But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote;
So it's the majority of the electors appointed.
The idea here is that ALL 538 of the electors are appointed prior to Dec 14th...but not ALL of their votes are transmitted to the President of the Senate and the Archivist by Dec 23rd due to any number of reasons (tied up at the state legislature level and miss their deadline, tied up in the courts and miss their deadline, etc).
Therefore, the need to get to 270 still stands and with enough states not resolving and therefore transmitting their votes from their already appointed electors, nobody gets to 270 and it goes to the House for the 1 vote per state provision.
TX isn’t innocent. I posted a few years ago that hubby’s local Texas votes were flipped to demwits. He caught it on the machine right before hitting the final enter button. It took 2 weeks for the local GOP office said it was corrected/never happened/all is fine. That’s when I found out Spain counted TX’s votes.
Why hasn’t Georgia joined this suit?
It has a Republican governor, SOS, attorney general, and legislature.
And tennessee ?
Yep
Dixie plus Kristi Noem
I’m willing to adopt her
“And tennessee ?”
Still waiting ... Per some FReepers, the TN AG loses nothing if he “sits this out”.
Our GOPe here has always been collaborative
Going way way way way back
Basically from the beginning
Sons and daughters of Brownlow
I’m thinking where Marsha Blackburn
She could get herself enough Trump just two months ago
Mitch has her in a chastity belt
Isn’t the governor of KY a Democrat?
How did they get signed onto this?
Maybe this will be a new succession movement?
Didn’t Missouri just join?
The governor is a demonrat x10. Suspect of cheating too.
BUT, our Attorney General, Daniel Cameron. Is a young republican. Brand new in office. High hopes for him.
Why hasn’t Florida jumped in???
I count 8.
Mo was yesterday
Thanks Ed!
That is great news! Florida now in too ❣
