I don’t recall it. I read about it a couple of weeks ago. He basically made himself POTUS-rejected some slates hazy on details.

If the Supreme Court of a state commits fraud, no court in the state can stop it.

He apparently stopped following Trump on Twitter, so it wouldn’t surprise me if that was in the works.

I heard that too which made me wonder if Pence is looking for an out. Today may have given him that.

Thus ends my unbroken streak, since 1956 when I was 23, of voting for GOP Presidential candidates...

IAC, it is probable that there will never be another Presidential election...

I suspect that the communists will build on there successes and, in the name of cost & time efficiency, switch to simply using the final polling numbers...

The billions of dollars saved will be better spent towards the 100-trillion dollar reparations bill that will soon be law...

WTF! Freerepublic which I’ve been reading for 20 years has turned into a shitshow. Many people and names I recognize for years aren’t nearly as conservative or intelligent or have a spine as one might have believed.

Then, so were those the stormed the capitol building. Either legal safeguards for voter fraud or the alternative. Rigged elections aren’t an option.

The congress votes to accept the elector votes.

Then, the VP comes along and rejects those elector votes.

VP rejecting elector votes is what some people here wanted (thought?) Pence would do.

"You don’t understand how contingency voting works or can’t articulate what you’re trying to say."

For you to make such a declaratory statement shows how ignorant you are on what you've accused me of.
If your going to call someone ignorant on a subject, like you did, you better do your homework first if you don't want to look like a fool.
My posting history is FILLED with actual documented references to the history and the law on this process, including several on contingency voting and the overall process:

Go troll someone else.

I would say that Pence had best retire and write his memoirs

And, I'd highly recommend he do that in another country. Ecuador is very nice this time of the year,

Is he right, could he have done anything other than what he did. I don’t know if he had the power Trump said he had or not.

You should have tried it Mike. You might have liked it and helped to expose the corruption of the Democrats in the Nov. 2020 election.

I’m so disappointed. Time for a new Republican Party, with guts.

Lin Wood is not crazy; in fact, he is right.

Also note that the Electoral Count Act of 1887 unconstitutionally (imo) nullifies the Constitution’s express chain of custody of electoral votes from electors to vice president.

Electors were intended to act independently of state governors and legislatures imo. So the alleged certification of electoral votes by governors instead of electors in some cases, and alternate destination of electoral votes in Electoral Count Act violate the chain of custody of electoral votes from electors to vice president specified in the 12th Amendment imo.

Excerpted from the 12th Amendment: "The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President, and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and of all persons voted for as Vice- President, and of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate [emphasis added]; […]"

If Biden gets in, Pence is officially resigned. I expected better from him. He let his country down.

DeSantis cleaned up Flori-Duh, for example.

Yep and he's going to be the communists' #1 target now. They want Florida desperately.

..and as a new Floridian & refugee from MA, I need to figure out what I can do to help prevent this great state from falling.
