Trump was not “trying to overturn the election.”
He wanted obvious fraud investigated before the election could be certified.
Algore delayed certification because ofr butterfly ballots and dimpled chads for weeks in 2000.
Al Gore is an @sshole, but no certification was ever delayed in that election. The Electoral College convened on schedule in December 2000 and certified the electoral votes, and a joint session of Congress convened in January 2001 as required by law — with Al Gore presiding as VP, as required by law — to formally count and validate the electoral votes.
Pence would have been acting without any court authority, and outside any statutory process. No constitutionally-based time limits on his alleged authority to delay.
It would have been an absolute disaster, and had it happened, a whole bunch of folks who voted for Trump would have deserted him. It would have been a disaster.
We were looking at the wrong places. Mark Zuckerberg spent over $400 million dollars to “support” local elections boards. If he broke the law there, then we need to charge him.
The election WAS overturned....
By the corrupt RAT party in the wee morning hours of Wednesday, November 4th.
This is not the first time "certification" of the election has come up. This is supposed to be a pro-Constitution website.
And, as such, all should agree that the President is to be appointed by the State Legislatures, using an indirect method.
The involvement of Congress in the process was discussed at length at the Philadelphia Convention, and was rejected.
The public counting of votes in the presence of all Senators and all Representatives is meant to prevent after-the-fact complaints that the counters cheated.
But Congress does not "certify" the election. If you believe that they do, then please show me text that confers such a power on them.
