Compiling and presenting all the evidence in court is worthwhile even if they don’t win. That evidence will be a matter of public record and whenever someone says “There’s no evidence of fraud” that evidence will show they’re lying or ignorant. There’s also the large statistical anomalies, most of which probably can’t be used as evidence in court, but are also convincing. The court evidence plus the anomalies will never go away.

Further, if the court’s reasoning in denying Trump is that the evidence of fraud is hard to quantify and isn’t proven to be sufficient to change the outcome, that will actually be an admission that fraud occurred, and that it at least may have changed the outcome.

Over time, more people will be convinced that Biden’s win is tainted, in large part due to the evidence presented in court.

The day Biden takes office, if that comes, my tagline will be “Impeach 46”.

No, the number of electors is currently 538 as set by law. It would only be reduced to 535 because DC would be ineligible in a contingency election

The number of electors is set according to how many spots are allotted to each State (and DC). Just because there's a max of 538, doesn't mean every elector must be appointed. If a State fails to appoint their electors, then the "Whole Number of Electors appointed" drops by the number that State is allotted. Which drops the majority threshold for election.

The simple fact is that they first voted NAY. So, if their vote couldn’t be changed, that first vote should stand. This is a microcosm of the election: Dems keep voting until they get the result they want regardless of truth. If the first vote could be changed, then so could the second, especially if there was coercion involved. By now the President is offering them protection I would think. That should end the mob rule.

So are the number of electors set as per what you state even if the state legislature(s) fail to choose their electors for whatever reason?

Yes, the number of electors is set.
Twenty-Third Amendment
Section 1
The District constituting the seat of Government of the United States shall appoint in such manner as the Congress may direct:
A number of electors of President and Vice President equal to the whole number of Senators and Representatives in Congress to which the District would be entitled if it were a State, but in no event more than the least populous State; they shall be in addition to those appointed by the States, but they shall be considered, for the purposes of the election of President and Vice President, to be electors appointed by a State; and they shall meet in the District and perform such duties as provided by the twelfth article of amendment.
The number of electors changed when the amendment was passed and is now set at 538.

Elections 2020: The Electoral College
Well, each state is allocated a certain number of electors and these are signed according to the combined total of their Senate, U.S. Senate and U.S. Representatives in Congress in the House of Representatives. So that gives us a total of 535 – 538 electors, that’s one for every senator, one for every representative, plus three for Washington, D.C., the District of Columbia, the national capital.
Snip...
And then Washington, D.C. as a – did not vote at all in presidential elections until 1964 when the Constitution was amended to provide for the District of Columbia, the national capital voting for electors.

Could someone explain to me, I am not as up on this stuff as some of you are here, BUT, the guy says pull away and get Biden below 270 WHERE IT GOES TO THE HOUSE AND THE REPUBLICANS WIN. HOW? Do not the Dims rule the House? How do the republicans win if they control the house? Please explain if you will. Thanks.

As I understand, state legislatures don’t have a right to choose new electors. Recounting fraudulently-cast ballots and re-assembling fraudulently-tabulated machine vote totals is an exercise in futility. A state’s only recourse to remedy fraudulent votes is to refuse to certtify electors.

SCOTUS has the same authority. People in states where votes were entered fraudulently have the same right to a fair election as people in states where votes were not assembled fraudulently.

If there is no candidate with a majority of the electoral votes, the vote goes to the House. The Constitution states that each state’s delegation of members each has one vote. So, for example, in PA, there are currently 10 Republican representatives and 9 Democrat representatives, they are allowed only vote as a group. Of course, the new Congress in January would vote not the current one. First Monday after the holiday I believe. I don’t know the exact number but I believe the Republicans have a majority of representatives in about 27 or 28 states. This is why the House would choose Trump.

Okay. Many thanks. I never knew that. If we were taught it in high school government class, that was 52 years ago and I have forgotten that.

And what does his post have to do with this? All he talks about is DC's votes, and a link to a looong interview transcript that mentions nothing about electors not being appointed (from my skim-through). They do mention DC's amendment changing the electors from 535 to 538, but that's under the assumption that every State appoints its electors. (Of course, only five years before the EC had just moved from 531 to 535.) Not relevant to this discussion.

Just because States are allocated electors, does not mean they are required to appoint them. Not that the Founding Fathers would have expected any State to voluntarily forego their representation in the Presidential elections, and it has never happened before that I know of. And the Constitution specifies the President is selected by majority of the whole number of electors appointed, NOT by the majority of the number of electors allotted.
