Each state delegation gets ONE vote, that is one vote per state, that’s all.

Republicans hold a majority of state delegations, regardless of the fact that Dims have a majority of representatives.

So, how many GOP state delegations can Pelosi buy, or how will she game the language of the vote?

Yup.

12th Amendment - Election of President

...the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President, the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote

While there are 435 representatives, there will only be 50 votes. And a current tally of representatives in each state shows that there are more Republican-majority delegations than Democrat-majority delegations. Republicans control 26 delegations; Democrats dominate 22; Pennsylvania is tied and Democrats have a 7-6 Michigan plurality.

While re-electing Trump is obviously paramount...Down ballet voting can NOT be overlooked!

On the face of it she doesn't have the votes and will have to buy or compromise her way to a win.

However, we should recognize she has all the assets of the corrupt Dem party as well as the fruit produced in recent years by the its corrupt intelligence agencies. Further, it is obvious they have been at work on the "Trump removal" issue for some time.

Imagine the chaos both in the halls of Congress and the streets of America if they were to engineer their desired fraudulent result to occur on January 19, 2021?
