Ivan Raiklin says Vice President Pence can request states send Electoral College slates that actually reflect the will of the people.

Citing the United States Constitution and U.S. Code, Constitutional Lawyer Ivan Raiklin says it is Vice President Mike Pence’s duty to instruct states to expeditiously send their Electoral College Certificates immediately if they have not been received.

U.S.C. 12 explains that “When no certificate of vote and list mentioned in sections 9 and 11 of this title from any State shall have been received by the President of the Senate or by the Archivist of the United States by the fourth Wednesday in December, after the meeting of the electors shall have been held, the President of the Senate … shall request, by the most expeditious method available, the secretary of state of the State to send up the certificate…”

Beyond the allegations and evidence of widespread fraud presented by both President Donald Trump’s legal team and independent lawyers and witnesses across the United States, several states have now sent competing slates of delegates to Washington, D.C.

When the word “debunked” arises, it usually means that it is true!

Screw all the legal mumbo jumbo. It’s time to stand our ground. Someone is stealing our constitutional liberties.

The salient point, as Algore was wont to say, is that "there is no controlling legal authority" over what Pence will do January 6th. No Constitutional check or balance.

Fortunately, Chris Miller, the former Green Beret, the former Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, and current Acting United States Secretary of Defense has affirmed the the extremely high likelihood of Pence taking the proper actions on January 6, 2021.

no state has named a competing slate of electors.

only a subset of legislators, without a full vote, have.

“Nobody reads the law or the Constitution I guess.”

They certainly don’t follow it, that is for certain. The average felon has more respect for the law than most federal judges have exhibited lately. On the other hand I suspect that most federal judges actually ARE FELONS, just uncharged.

Pence has already stabbed Trump in the back and will not do this. The AG, SCOTUS, McConnell, Pence, FBI, CIA, Social Media, the press, and the deep state are all against him. Even McCarthy and other advisors are against him. Trump stands alone except for his supporters which won’t do anything but hold a few rallies. The coup will be complete 15 days and nothing will be done about it. Yes, there are things that could happen but they won’t. After Biden’s inauguration the press will discover that fraud did happen but it’s too late to do anything about it.
