Patriots are reminded that the fuss with presidential elections is mostly because the very corrupt, constitutionally undefined political parties are not about to surrender state powers, and uniquely associated state revenues, that the feds regularly steal from the states back to the states imo.
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
The feds steal state revenues by means of unconstitutional federal taxes, taxes that corrupt Congress cannot reasonably justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
Instead of arguing the Electoral Count Reform Act, Trump should probably be throwing the wrongly ignored 12th Amendment (electoral votes process) at the stolen 2020 presidential election imo.
For example, the states surrendered their power to make winner-take-all laws for electoral votes when they ratified that amendment imo.
Excerpted from the 12th Amendment:
"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], ..."
In fact, Justice Joseph Story had emphasized that the overall effect of a state with divided electoral votes is that it reduces number of electoral votes for a single candidate.
"In case of any party divisions in a state, it may neutralize its whole vote, while all the other states give an unbroken electoral vote." —Justice Joseph Story, Article 2, Section 1, Clauses 2 and 3, Commentaries on the Constitution 3, 1833."
Powerful sauce. Thread contributors... what say yee?
