GOP presidential electors in Pennsylvania and Georgia cast ballots at their respective state capitols today for President Trump. The move is deigned to preserve the President's ability to continue his fight to overturn the election results in those states, which he claims was fraudulent.

Nevada just did the same thing so that is 42(PA, GA, NV)total which would bring Biden to 264
electionwiz won't open fully for me but it looks like it is echoing tweets re the slated electors.
Yeah like all the other idiot analysis’s personally I’m sick of the good people who are Trump supporters being played for fools...
Nevada just did. I am watching it on RSBN
This is relatively meaningless. Per the Constitution,
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.
Imagine in 2016, if Hillary assembled the PA and MI Dem electors in some Hilton in Philly and Detroit, resp, and they voted and sent their votes to the Senate. We'd be crying foul.
Yes, I get the mammoth fraud etc. but....barring a miracle, those States' legislatures abdicated their Constitutional role by letting the Dem electors be the electors of choice. This is all symbolic, but not legally binding unless some attorney can demonstrate otherwise.
UPDATE: ARIZONA, GEORGIA, & PENNSYLVANIA have all sent COMPLETING SLATES of electors in favor of Trump/Pence.
This is in accordance with the US Constitution. Vice-President (President of Senate) has ability to make the final say on which electors to accept.
This has indeed happened before. In the 1960 election, an alternate slate of electors voted.
True. Mr. Brooks has said he has house collegues that are planning on doing the same thing and to contact your congress people.

You may be sorry to hear but Nevada just did the same - 6 more for trump
Dont forget Nevada.
Not exactly. There’s precedent. In 1960 Hawaii was contested after a apparent Kennedy win and both Nixon and Kennedy electors were sent and it was later resolved month later and it went to Nixon
The governor of the state then sent a letter to Congress in which he de-certified the original electors.
‘These electors were not selected by the voters, they were not appointed by the legislature, they are no more legitimate electors than you or I are.’
realistically, yes, you are correct...
They had the governor and legislature behind them. This slate has neither.
oh no....thrilled! GO TRUMP!
And they were utilized as legitimate… the so called illegitimate electors by some people’s definition where the ones that went to the alterntive candidate in that case it was Kennedy Over Nixon.
If this is true (I trust nothing anymore), it’s wonderful.
It will at least slow them down, “them” being the Chicoms.
Congrats to NV!
I live in Florida, where we actually, thanks to Gov DeSantis, had honest elections. And Trump won.
